Staff Selection Commission has split Junior Engineer 2026 Paper‑I across two windows. A corrigendum dated October 26 confirms exams on November 2–6 and November 30–December 1. The change alters travel, hostels, and overlap planning for thousands. Treat these dates as final unless the Commission issues another notice.
The first window hosts core branches, while the second accommodates Telecommunication and spill‑over shifts. SSC’s October 23 city‑intimation went live, and media summaries flag the Telecommunication dates as November 30–December 1. Candidates should align mock tests and leaves to their allotted phase. Recheck your schedule now to avoid last‑minute surprises.
What changed in SSC JE 2026 Paper‑I dates
Originally proposed for a single stretch, Paper‑I now runs in two cycles. This split reduces centre load and offers contingency for crowded regions. The operational takeaway is simple: verify your phase and shift again today. Plan accommodation and backups around the precise exam window you receive.
SSC JE city intimation slip and admit card timeline
City intimation for Paper‑I went live on October 23 at ssc.gov.in. Admit cards release about two to three days before each candidate’s exam date via the same login. Some mapping windows, including scribe selections, close on October 27. Check status nightly to catch any regional updates early.
Handling exam‑date clashes and regional SSC options
SSC generally does not permit changes to centre, date, or shift once allotted. Escalate only for genuine discrepancies in your record, using your Regional Office channels. For institute tests or lab vivas, negotiate internally for rescheduling. Keep documentary proof handy, but expect strict adherence to Commission scheduling rules.
Travel planning and exam‑day documents for SSC JE 2026
Buffer your travel for weather delays and peak‑hour congestion, especially for morning shifts. Carry printed admit card, two recent passport photos, and an original photo ID with date of birth. If your ID lacks date of birth, bring an additional original certificate. Any identity mismatch can block entry.
Action checklist for candidates: reconfirm your phase and city today, secure refundable travel, and monitor your admit‑card window two to three days before the exam. Resolve scribe or mapping tasks by October 27. Keep documents ready and arrive early. With dates fixed for November 2–6 and November 30–December 1, preparation time is clear.
