The Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission conducts the JSSC JE examination to recruit candidates for the position of junior engineers in the government of Jharkhand for various departments. The examination requires you to attempt two papers and has a vast syllabus. Though it may seem tough to crack the examination, with the right guidance from BYJU’S Exam Prep, candidates can track the right path to qualify for the JSSC JE Exam. If you are an aspiring candidate and are planning to appear for the examination, here is the detailed syllabus for both papers to help you plan for the examination.
JSSC JE Syllabus
The JSSC JE syllabus shall have only ine stage of examination comprising of two papers.
Paper 1:
The first paper has 120 questions and can be segmented into General Engineering for 80 marks and General Knowledge for 40 marks. Candidates are given 2 hours to attempt the paper. The General Engineering segment consists of three main sections, Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. These sections are further divided into sub-topics and candidates are questioned accordingly.

Paper 2:
Selected candidates from Paper 1 are allowed to appear in Paper 2, which is an elective paper. This paper is specifically for graduate-level civil, mechanical and electrical engineering. Though the topics remain the same as Paper 1, the questions require understanding beyond the basic level and in-depth studying. As mentioned, it has three sections (Civil, Mechanical and Electrical) and candidates have to appear in the section of their specialisation that they choose as their elective. There are 120 questions and two hours to attempt the questions on the candidate’s chosen specialisation. In this paper, the syllabus can be divided into:
