Paper I : SSC JE Syllabus

Given below are the topics to prepare as per latest SSC JE Syllabus :

i. General Intelligence & Reasoning: The test may include questions on

analogies, similarities, differences, space visualization, problem solving,
analysis, judgement, decision making, visual memory, discrimination,
observation, relationship concepts, arithmetical reasoning, verbal and figure
classification, arithmetical number series etc. The test will also include
questions designed to test the candidate’s abilities to deal with abstract ideas
and symbols and their relationships, arithmetical computations and other
analytical functions.

ii. General Awareness: The test will include questions related to India and its
neighboring countries especially pertaining to History, Culture, Geography,
Economic Scene, General Polity and Scientific Research, etc. These
questions will be such that they do not require a special study of any
discipline.

iii. General Engineering (Civil, (Electrical & Mechanical)
