SSC JE 2026 Exam City Out: Exam 2–6 Nov, Admit Card 2–3 Days Before, Scribe and Subject Deadline 27 Oct

This page has been merged. All SSC JE 2026 updates (revised dates, exam city, admit card, scribe rules) are now on one page: SSC JE 2026 full guide.

SSC has released the exam city details for the Junior Engineer Examination 2026 (Paper-I, CBE) in a notice dated 23 October 2026. The exam is scheduled from 2 to 6 November 2026, and the Admission Certificate will be available about 2–3 days before each candidate’s exam date. Candidates using an own scribe must map the scribe’s OTR by 27 October 2026, 11:00 PM, and candidates who want to change their Scientific Assistant subject must do so by the same deadline.

What has SSC announced for the JE 2026 exam?

SSC’s IT Section notice dated 23 October 2026 says the Junior Engineer Examination, 2026 (Computer Based Examination) Paper-I is scheduled from 02.11.2026 to 06.11.2026. Candidates can see their examination city details by logging in through the designated login module on the SSC website, ssc.gov.in.

The notice also covers the Admission Certificate, the own-scribe facility and a subject change for some candidates. Each of these has a date or rule, explained below. The notice refers to an earlier notice published on 02.09.2026 for detailed instructions.

Which papers are in the 2–6 November exam?

The notice says the exam from 2 to 6 November 2026 will be held for 6 specific papers.

Post	Discipline
General Engineering (JE)	Civil & Structural
General Engineering (JE)	Electrical
General Engineering (JE)	Mechanical
IMD Scientific Assistant (SA)	Computer Science and Information Technology
IMD Scientific Assistant (SA)	Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering
IMD Scientific Assistant (SA)	Physics

The notice does not say which discipline is on which day or in which shift. That will show on your Admission Certificate.

When will the admit card (Admission Certificate) come?

The notice says the Admission Certificate will tentatively be available for download prior to 2–3 days of the respective examination date. It is accessed through the same login module on ssc.gov.in as the exam city details. In its last point the notice repeats that, as per practice, Admission Certificates for all the exams will be issued 2–3 days in advance.

So a candidate whose exam is on 2 November should expect the admit card around 30–31 October, and one whose exam is on 6 November around 3–4 November. The word tentatively matters: SSC has not fixed a release date.

What must candidates with an own scribe do?

Candidates who want the Own Scribe facility may need to do a fresh scribe registration on the SSC website, because scribe registrations made before 05.11.2025 were disposed of. Scribe registration is now integrated with Aadhaar authentication, so every person who wants to enrol or appear as a scribe must complete a fresh registration.

Candidates must submit the scribe’s registration number to get the Scribe Entry Pass. They can map the scribe’s OTR up to 27.10.2026 (11:00 PM), and the Scribe Entry Pass is generated only for those who map it successfully. The maximum age limit for an own scribe follows the commission’s updated policy; other scribe guidelines stay as in the examination notice.

What is the subject-change rule for Scientific Assistant?

The notice says some candidates who chose JE (Telecommunication) were also eligible to apply for JE (Electrical) and Scientific Assistant (SA). For those who selected Scientific Assistant, SSC will treat EC/TC (Electronics and Telecommunication) as the default subject.

A candidate who wants CS/IT or Physics instead can change it at the time of city live, till 27.10.2026 (11:00 PM). After that, no change is allowed, and the candidate must appear in the subject shown on the Admission Certificate. If this applies to you, decide before the deadline.

When is the JE (Telecommunication) exam?

JE (Telecommunication) is not part of the 2–6 November exam. The notice says it will be scheduled on 30 November 2026 to 1 December 2026, and its city live will be done 8–10 days in advance. That means roughly 20–22 November, but the notice gives no exact date, so watch ssc.gov.in. The notice does not say whether this schedule can change.

How do you check your city and prepare?

1. Open ssc.gov.in and log in with your credentials in the designated login module.
2. Check your examination city details.
3. If you use an own scribe, register the scribe afresh (Aadhaar-linked) and map the OTR before 27 October 2026, 11:00 PM.
4. If you are a JE (Telecommunication) candidate who chose Scientific Assistant, confirm your subject before the same deadline.
5. Download the Admission Certificate 2–3 days before your exam date and read its instructions.

Use only the official website; SSC does not ask for payment to see city details or admit cards.

What does the notice not say?

The notice does not give the exact date of the Admission Certificate release, the day or shift for each paper, or the exam centre address. It does not state the number of vacancies, the age limit for scribes (it only refers to an updated policy), or the date of the JE (Telecommunication) city release. It also does not say what happens to a candidate who misses the 27 October deadline beyond the statement that no further change is permitted. For anything not in the notice, wait for the Admission Certificate or an SSC notice.
