English Language, Numerical Ability, and Reasoning Ability are tested on the main exam. There are 200 marks available for the main exam. Those who pass the main exam are invited to take a language proficiency exam.

The SSC JE Selection Process was changed in February 2023, not in 2024. The current process involves three stages:

Paper 1: A computer-based test (CBT) assessing General Awareness, Reasoning Ability, and your chosen Engineering field.

Paper 2: Another computer-based test (CBT) focusing on your specific engineering discipline.

Document Verification: Verification of your documents to ensure you meet eligibility requirements.

A key change from before is that the Document Verification (DV) now happens at the intended departments where you might be recruited, instead of SSC regional offices. This aims to expedite the recruitment process.
