The perfect key to start preparing for any exam is self-belief and the belief that you can definitely crack it with the understanding you have gained over the course of your preparations. The primary key to excelling in any examination is prior knowledge about the exam and a keen analysis of the SSC-JE Syllabus and the Question pattern.
This 2-staged Examination process needs the analysis of the examination as the following,
The Examination will consist of two Papers; i.e.
Details of these Papers are as follows: The Paper-I will consist of Objective Type - Multiple choice questions. The questions are bilingual. (English & Hindi) There will be negative marking of 0.25 marks for each wrong answer in Paper-I. Candidates are, therefore, advised to keep this in mind while answering the questions.
SSC-JE Civil Engineering Syllabus includes topics from almost all the subjects. The questions asked are analytical in nature for both Prelims and Mains which requires in-depth understanding of the concepts to answer. Although the syllabus is predefined by SSC, a proper command over it will help an aspirant go a long way in their quest to crack this examination. This step includes the following:
The standard of the questions in Engineering subjects will be approximately of the level of Diploma in Civil Engineering. The details of the syllabus are given below:
General Intelligence & Reasoning: The Syllabus for General Intelligence would include questions of both verbal and non-verbal type. The test may include questions on analogies, similarities, differences, space visualization, problem solving, analysis, judgment, decision making, visual memory, discrimination, observation, relationship concepts, arithmetical reasoning, verbal and figure classification, arithmetical number series. 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.
General Awareness: Questions will be aimed at testing the candidate’s general awareness of the environment around him/her and its application to society. The test will also include questions relating to India and its neighbouring 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.
General Engineering: Civil & Structural: Building Materials, Estimating, Costing and Valuation, Surveying, Soil Mechanics, Hydraulics, Irrigation Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Environmental Engineering.Structural Engineering, Theory of Structures , Concrete Technology, RCC Design, Steel Design.

Formulation of a proper and daily strategic routine is important. A good and impactful time-table schedule is more effective for SSC-JE Exam Preparation.
Consistency and Dedication : in the right direction are the two pillars of SSC- JE (Civil Engineering) Preparation. For once the answer to certain questions can elude you in the examination but the dedication put forth in the preparation will never go in vain. It is important to dedicate several hours daily towards SSC-JE Preparation, but it is equally important not to exhaust yourself. While crediting yourself with small intervals and breaks can work as boosters. When you are preparing with MERIT ACADEMY, you will follow a set template over a period of time which is both consistent and smart. Apart from coaching, prepare your schedules in such a way that there remains ample scope for revisions as regards to each subject.
Proper Note-Making and Revisions: The mere completion of SSC –JE Syllabus is futile if it is not supplemented with ample revisions. We humans are ruled by a definite forgetting curve. With passage of time, we tend to forget things which we have learned and thus periodic revisions of the topics covered are highly essential. Use the notes prepared during the preparation for revision while testing them through mock test series can be another option.

Minimum qualifying marks in Paper-I and Paper-II are as follows:
Based on the normalized marks scored in the (Paper-I) i.e. Computer Based Examination, candidates will be shortlisted, category-wise, to appear in Paper-II. The Commission shall have the discretion to fix different cut-off marks in each part of Paper-I taking into consideration among others, category-wise vacancies and numbers of the candidates. Final selection and allocation by Ministries/Departments/Organizations will be made on the basis of the performance of candidates in Paper-I and Paper-II and the preference of Ministries/Departments/Organizations exercised by them.
