Let us have a look at the SSC JE subject-wise weightage and exam pattern.

SSC JE Subject Wise Weightage

SSC JE is conducted in two stages, viz paper 1 and paper 2. The exam pattern of paper 1 is given below:

Papers	Mode of Examination	Subject	Number of Questions /Maximum Marks	Negative marking per wrong answer	Duration
Paper 1	Computer Based Examination (MCQ type)	General Intelligence and Reasoning	50/50	0.25	2 hours (2 hours and 40 minutes for the candidates who are eligible for scribe )
		General Awareness	50/50
		Technical Domain depending upon the educational qualification (Civil, Electrical or Mechanical)	100/100

 

Those who clear paper 1 are called for paper 2. SSC JE paper 2 exam pattern is given below:

Papers	Mode of Examination	Subject	Number of Questions /Maximum Marks	Negative marking per wrong answer	Duration
Paper II	Computer Based Examination (MCQ type)	Part-A: General Engineering (Civil & Structural) or Part-B: General Engineering (Electrical) or Part-C: General Engineering (Mechanical)	100/300	1	2 hours(2 hours and 40 minutes for the candidates who are eligible for scribe)

 

After clearing paper 2, candidates are called for document verification and medical examination.

Subject-wise weightage is very important for SSC JE aspirants, as it helps them to strategize their preparation in the right direction. Subject-wise weightage helps aspirants to get an idea of important subjects in SSC JE. Let us look at SSC JE subject-wise weightage for civil engineering.

SSC JE Subject Wise Weightage (Civil Engineering)

Civil Engineering has a huge number of vacancies in the SSC JE exam, and this is one of the reasons why lots of civil engineering aspirants appear in the SSC JE exam. To stay ahead of competition in the civil engineering stream, candidates should have an idea of the SSC JE subject-wise weightage in the civil engineering stream. In this section we are going to discuss the approximate weightage of each subject in civil engineering.

S.No.	Subject	Approxx weightage (questions)
1.	Building Material	12-13
2.	Estimation, Costing and Valuation	8-10
3.	Surveying	5-8
4.	Soil Mechanics	8-10
5.	Environmental Engineering	10-12
6.	RCC Design	8-10
7.	Hydraulics	10-12
8.	Irrigation Engineering	5-8
9.	Transportation Engineering	8-10
10.	Steel Design	6-8
11.	Theory of Structure	8-10

 

SSC JE Subject Wise Weightage (Mechanical Engineering)

SSC JE is one of the most important exams for mechanical engineers, as it offers lots of vacancies; therefore, the competition in the mechanical engineering stream is quite tough. In such a competitive exam, it is important that candidates should have an idea of high-weightage subjects. Therefore, we are going to discuss the approximate weightage of each subject in mechanical engineering.

S.No.	Subject	Approxx weightage (questions)
1.	HM+FM	23-25
2.	Thermodynamics	10-12
3.	Power Plant Engineering	20-22
4.	RAC	6-7
5.	IC Engine Performance	10-12
6.	Theory of Machines	5-7
7.	Production and Material Science	8-10
8.	Material Design	2-3
9.	Mechanics	1-2
10.	Strength Of Materials	6-7

 

SSC JE Subject Wise Weightage (Electrical Engineering)

SSC JE provides a fantastic opportunity to the electrical engineering students/graduates or diploma holders in electrical engineering who want to work in the government sector. Departments like CPWD, MES, BRO, etc., recruit electrical engineers in large numbers through SSC JE. Electrical engineering students should have an idea of important subjects and approximate subject-wise weightage so that they can plan their preparation strategy accordingly and perform well in the SSC JE 2025 exam. Let us have a look at the subject-wise weightage of electrical engineering subjects.

S.No.	Subject	Approxx weightage (questions)
1.	Basic concepts, Circuit law, Magnetic Circuit, AC Fundamentals	23-30
2.	Electrical Machine	25-30
3.	Power System	15-20
4.	Measurement and Measuring Instruments	10-14
5.	Basic Electronics	7-10
6.	Estimation and Costing, Utilization, and Electrical Energy	8-10

 

This was the SSC JE subject wise weightage of civil, electrical and mechanical engineering. We have tried to give an approximate idea of number of questions/marks which each subject carry in SSC JE 2025 exam, however that doesn’t mean that candidates should focus only upon these subjects. SSC JE 2025 aspirants should focus on the complete syllabus mentioned in the official notification of SSC JE 2025.
