Staff Selection Commission-Junior Engineer has always been preferred by

Engineers due to job stability. SSC-Junior Engineer examination is conducted

every year. MADE EASY team has deeply analyzed the previous exam papers and

observed that a good percentage of questions are repetitive in nature, therefore

it is advisable to solve previous years papers before a candidate takes the exam.

The SSC JE texam is conducted in three stages as shown in table given below.

Papers Subject Maximum Marks Duration

Stage 1:

Paper-I : Objective type

(i) General Intelligence & Reasoning

(ii) General Awareness

(iii) General Engineering : Mechanical

50 Marks

50 Marks

100 Marks

2 hours

Stage 2:

Paper-II Conventional Type

General Engineering : Mechanical 300 Marks 2 hours

Stage 3:

Personal Interview

100 Marks ---

Note: In Paper-I, every question carry one mark and there is negative marking of ¼ marks for every wrong answer.

Candidates shortlisted in Stage 1 are called for Stage 2. On the basis of combined score in Stage 1 and Stage 2,

shortlisted candidates are called for Personal Interview.

In the second edition, the book has been thoroughly revised and Reasoning-Aptitude section is also added. MADE EASY

has taken due care to provide complete solution with accuracy. Apart from Staff Selection Commission-Junior Engineer,

this book is also useful for Public Sector Examinations and other competitive examinations for engineering graduates.

I have true desire to serve student community by providing good source of study and quality guidance. I hope this book

will prove as an important tool to succeed in SSC-JE and other competitive exams. Any suggestion from the readers for

improvement of this book is most welcome.

With Best Wishes
