Is SSC JE Paper-I confirmed for October 2026?

No. October / November 2026 is tentative. RRB JE CEN 04/2026 CBT-1 on 27–30 October is a railway exam with a different login. You may be eligible for both if you hold a diploma/degree, but they are not the same admit card.

Which engineering branches can apply?

Civil, Electrical and Mechanical as listed in the JE 2026 notice. Computer or electronics branches are not automatically eligible unless a post code says so. Department-wise age can be 18–30 or 18–32. Read the user-department table, not a generic “32 years for all JE” myth.

FAQ

22 September 2026 at 11:00 PM. This briefing is dated 20 September 2026 — two days remain. Unpaid fee where payable means the form is invalid. Do not wait for a Paper-I city slip before applying; that city slip cannot exist until SSC confirms October/November dates.

Dates and stages can change. Always verify notices, city slips and admit cards on ssc.gov.in before you act. This page is a candidate briefing, not a legal document.
