SSC JE Recruitment 2026: 1,748 Vacancies, Apply Online by 22 September

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has opened recruitment for Junior Engineer posts under various central government departments and organisations, releasing 1,748 vacancies for 2026. The posts are spread across Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Quantity Surveying & Contract disciplines, making this one of the larger technical recruitment drives on the SSC calendar this year. Candidates with a diploma or degree in the relevant engineering discipline from a recognised institution are eligible to apply, subject to the age limit and other conditions specified in the official notice. The selection process for SSC JE typically runs across two computer-based examinations (Paper I and Paper II) followed by document verification, with the technical Paper II testing subject-specific engineering knowledge in depth. Interested and eligible candidates can register through the SSC online application portal. Applicants should keep scanned copies of their photograph, signature and category/education certificates ready before starting the form, and are advised to complete the fee payment step before the window closes to avoid last-minute technical issues. Given the scale of vacancies and the demand for stable central government engineering roles, SSC JE 2026 is expected to draw applications from diploma and degree holders across the country. Candidates should regularly check the official SSC website for the exam date notice and admit card release.
