The Staff Selection Commission has started issuing the Paper-I admission certificates for the Junior Engineer Examination 2026, and candidates with exams in the first week of November should check their login right away. Hall tickets are appearing in the candidate login a few days before each candidate's own exam date, so the card for a 02-11-2026 paper is already out while later shifts follow in turn.
This cycle covers Junior Engineer posts in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Telecommunication disciplines along with Scientific Assistant posts in the India Meteorological Department. The tentative vacancy figure was revised by SSC on 08-10-2026 to 1,699 posts, down from the 1,748 announced with the notification dated 02-09-2026.

One caution that trips up candidates every cycle: the earlier city intimation slip is not valid for entry. Only the admission certificate downloaded from the candidate login works at the gate.
The Staff Selection Commission recruits for Group B (Non-Gazetted) technical posts across central government departments and organisations, including CPWD, MES, BRO, Central Water Commission, NTRO and the India Meteorological Department.

No. The city slip only tells you the exam city; entry requires the admission certificate itself plus a photo ID.
