About the SSC Junior Engineer Exam
The SSC JE exam is a national-level competition held to recruit Junior Engineers across various government departments and organizations. These positions are available for candidates with a background in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and Quantity Surveying & Contracts engineering fields.
The Paper 1 (Tier 1) of the SSC JE exam is not conducted on a single day. Instead, it takes place over several days, often in multiple sessions or shifts. The number of shifts and days depends on the total number of applications received. Since the exam happens in different shifts, the Staff Selection Commission uses a fair method called the "normalization process." This process helps to adjust the scores of all candidates, ensuring that everyone has an equal chance, regardless of the difficulty level of their specific exam shift. The final results for the SSC JE exam are calculated based on these normalized marks.
