This recruitment drive opens doors for engineering graduates seeking stable and prestigious careers in public sector infrastructure projects.
The Junior Engineer posts are spread across civil, mechanical, electrical, and quantity surveying branches, reflecting the diverse technical requirements of various ministries and government organizations. Applications are being accepted through the official SSC portal at ssc.nic.in, with candidates required to complete the entire process online.
Eligibility criteria mandate that applicants hold a degree or diploma in the relevant engineering discipline from a recognized university or institution. The age limit for general category candidates typically ranges between 18 and 32 years, with relaxations applicable for reserved categories as per government norms.
The selection process involves a two-tier written examination system.

Paper 2 is branch-specific and tests deeper technical knowledge in the candidate's specialized field.
Candidates who clear both stages may be called for document verification and final merit list preparation. Successful aspirants will be posted in various departments responsible for infrastructure development, construction projects, and public works across India.
The commission has urged eligible candidates to submit their applications well before the deadline to avoid last-minute technical issues. Detailed information regarding application fees, exam dates, and syllabus is available on the official website.
