Apply Now – Recruitment 2025 – SSC Junior Engineer (JE): Apply for 1340 Vacancies

About The Post

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has released the detailed notification for the SSC Junior Engineer (JE) 2025 recruitment. The examination will be conducted to recruit eligible candidates for the posts of Junior Engineer (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical) in various Ministries, Departments, and Organizations of the Government of India.

This post explains the eligibility, application procedure, document verification, post preference rules, mode of selection, and important candidate instructions in a structured manner.


Document Verification (DV)

Document Verification will be conducted after the declaration of the final result by the respective User Departments/Organizations.

Key Points:

  • SSC only recommends candidates based on merit and preferences. It is not involved in deciding the number of vacancies or reservation distribution.
  • Once SSC declares the final result and sends dossiers to the departments, no User Department can reject dossiers due to unavailability of horizontal category candidates.
  • SSC confirms vacancies before declaring results. Departments must accept the nominations.
  • If a department is dissolved or merged, the successor must accept the dossiers.

Proposed Sliding Scheme:

SSC is considering a post-allotment sliding scheme (subject to Govt. approval) to fill unfilled vacancies post-DV through an extended cut-off.
