Good Luck!
Ihave completed my Bacholer of Engineering (B.E) in Electrican and Electronics in 2021. Can i apply for SSC JE 2022?
Hello Aspirant
I hope you are doing well.
After earning your Diploma in E&C Engineering, you are, in fact, qualified to take the SSC JE EC Engineering exam. You need to start by going to the SSC's official website. You must click for fresh registration there. Once your registration is complete, you must submit an application for the JEC Engineering test. You must keep in mind to finish your payment after submitting your application. No form will be accepted if the fee is not paid.
Thanks
sir Ive done diploma in ECE and planning to do b tech lateral entry in electrical so that I can attend ssc je and all other je and govt examinations like state pcs upsc IS LATERAL ENTRY IN B TECH ELECTRICAL ELIGIBLE FOR SSC JE OR OTHER GOVT EXAM? IS SHIFTING FROM ECE TO EE IN B TECH IS GOOD ?
hello aspirant,
hope you are doing good.
you can change your branch in engineering through lateral entry.
EE :
EE is a core branch.
placements for this branch in India are in public sector. If you want to get job opportunities in core electrical companies like NTPC you need to crack GATE exam.
it is also called as most competitive branch
ECE :
ECE is not a core branch.
you need not to crack any GATE exam, as there are lot of opportunities for ECE in software field.
students of ECE are also eligible to work in Software industry.
there are lot of opportunities in private sector.
I suggest you to think twice before taking a decision to change from ECE to EE
all the best
