SSC JE : The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially declared the results of Paper-I for the Junior Engineer (Civil, Mechanical & Electrical) Examination, 2024.
Conducted between June 5th and June 7th, 2024, this computer-based examination was held at various centers across the nation.
The SSC’s announcement marks a significant step forward in the recruitment process, as successful candidates now prepare to advance to Paper-II of the examination.
Overview of the Examination Process
The Junior Engineer (JE) Examination is one of the most competitive exams conducted by the SSC, aimed at recruiting capable engineers for various departments of the Government of India.
The Paper-I examination is a preliminary test designed to assess the candidates’ basic engineering knowledge and aptitude.
It was conducted in multiple shifts, necessitating the normalization of marks to ensure a fair evaluation process across different sessions.
Normalization of Marks
Given the multi-shift nature of the examination, the SSC employed a normalization process for evaluating the results. This process was in accordance with the formula published by the Commission in Notice No. 1-1/2018-P&P-I dated February 7, 2019.
The normalized marks were used to determine the eligibility of candidates for the next stage of the examination, Paper-II, which is also a Computer Based Examination (CBE).
This approach ensures that all candidates are assessed equitably, regardless of the shift in which they appeared for the exam.
Minimum Qualifying Marks
The SSC established minimum qualifying marks for Paper-I based on candidates’ categories, in accordance with Para-18.1 of the Examination Notice. The following were the minimum qualifying marks set for various categories:
- UR (Unreserved): 30% (i.e., 60 marks)
- OBC/EWS: 25% (i.e., 50 marks)
- All other categories: 20% (i.e., 40 marks)
These thresholds were crucial in determining the candidates eligible to move on to the next phase of the examination.
