The take‑home pay varies based on the posting location, with field organisations (e.g., BRO, MES) often posting engineers to project sites outside metros.
BRO Posts – Gender: Only male candidates are eligible for Junior Engineer posts in the Border Roads Organisation.
PwBD Identification: Every organisation except BRO has its Junior Engineer posts identified as suitable for benchmark disabilities; BRO posts are excluded.
Visual Handicapped: JE (Civil), JE (Mechanical), JE (Electrical) and Scientific Assistant (IMD) are **not identified** as suitable for visually handicapped candidates; only JE (Telecom) in DoT is identified (for low vision).
BRO PET Standards: Failure to complete a one‑mile run within 10 minutes at GREF Centre, Pune, or meet region‑wise height/chest/weight norms results in candidature rejection for any BRO post.
Post Preference: Once submitted, preference is final and irreversible. Non‑submission of preference within the stipulated time leads to exclusion from final selection.
Wrong Allotment Fit: Not meeting medical, physical or educational standards after a post is allotted leads to rejection; no shift to another preference is allowed.
Document Verification Failure: Producing original mark‑sheets or certificates after the cut‑off date, or lacking a result declared by the university on or before the cut‑off date, cancels the candidature.
False Category Claims: Fraudulently claiming SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwBD/ESM status leads to immediate cancellation and potential debarment from future SSC examinations.
Start preparing for the **General Engineering** paper as per the specific discipline you intend to apply for – the syllabus is not detailed in the notice but typically mirrors graduation-level engineering.
Use the **age calculator** on GovtJobsAlert.in to confirm that you meet the age cut‑off based on 1 August 2026.
Ensure your **educational certificates** are in order; any discrepancy during document verification will lead to cancellation.
Choose your **post preferences wisely** because once submitted, they cannot be altered.
Monitor the **SSC website** regularly for updates on vacancy break‑ups, answer keys, and exam schedules.
