SSC JE Paper II (Tier 2) is a computer-based test focused on the candidate’s chosen engineering discipline.The tier i result will be out soon as the answer key challenge window is over. The next step is to prepare for the Paper II exam. We have given the tier II exam structure and topics of the syllabus. Candidates can download the PDF of the SSC JE syllabus
SSC JE 2025 Paper II Exam Structure
It features 100 objective-type multiple-choice questions worth 300 marks total, with each question carrying 3 marks. Candidates select one part: Part A (Civil & Structural Engineering), Part B (Electrical Engineering), or Part C (Mechanical Engineering).
Duration and Marking
The exam lasts 2 hours (120 minutes), extended to 2 hours 40 minutes for scribes. Negative marking applies at 1 mark per wrong answer; unanswered questions incur no penalty.
Key Guidelines
Questions appear in English and Hindi; avoid guessing due to the higher penalty compared to Paper I. Qualifying Paper II leads to Document Verification for final selection

SSC JE Paper II Syllabus FAQs
Paper II is a 2-hour computer-based test with 100 objective MCQs worth 300 marks (3 marks each), focusing on one engineering discipline: Civil & Structural (Part A), Electrical (Part B), or Mechanical (Part C).
Yes negative marking will apply here too and you will get penalty for wrong answer
Key areas include Building Materials, Surveying, Soil Mechanics, Hydraulics, Irrigation, Concrete Technology, RCC/Steel Desig
The paper I syllabus covers the general intellegnence and General Knowlege along with fundamentals on engineering topice. Paper II dives deep into engineering.
No, select one part at application; attempt only that section
