SSC JE Recruitment 2026 Eligibility Criteria

To apply for SSC JE 2026, candidates must meet the nationality, educational qualification, and age criteria prescribed for the post and organization they are applying to.

Nationality/Citizenship

A candidate must be:

• A citizen of India, or
• A subject of Nepal, or
• A subject of Bhutan, or
• A person of Indian origin who has migrated from Pakistan, Burma, Sri Lanka, or specified East African countries with the intention of permanently settling in India (an eligibility certificate from the Government of India is required for these categories).

SSC JE Qualification

Essential educational qualifications differ by organization and post. Broadly:

• JE (Civil): Degree in Civil Engineering from a recognized university/institute; or a three-year diploma in Civil Engineering plus relevant work experience (requirement varies by organization).
• JE (Electrical) / JE (Mechanical) / JE (Electrical & Mechanical): Degree or diploma in the relevant Electrical/Mechanical/Automobile engineering discipline from a recognized university/institute, with experience required in some organizations.
• JE (Telecom): Bachelor's degree in Engineering/Technology in Electrical, Electronics, Electrical Communications, Computer Science, Telecommunications, Information Technology, or Instrumentation.
• Scientific Assistant (IMD): Bachelor's degree in Science with Physics as one of the subjects, or a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science/Computer Applications/Electronics/Electronics & Communication Engineering/Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering/Instrumentation/Information Technology/Telecommunication Engineering/Communication Engineering.

Because the exact qualification differs organization by organization (for example, CPWD requires a diploma while BRO accepts a degree or diploma-plus-experience), candidates should check the qualification listed against their target organization in the official notice before applying. Qualifications obtained through Open and Distance Learning (ODL)/online mode in restricted disciplines such as Engineering are not accepted unless specifically permitted under applicable UGC regulations or judicial orders.
