Candidates preparing for the Staff Selection Commission's (SSC) Junior Engineer Examination 2026 can now check where they will appear for Paper 1. The commission has made the examination city details available on its official portal, ssc.gov.in, ahead of the November examination. With Paper 1 scheduled across November 2 to 6, candidates can log in to view their allotted city and plan their travel accordingly. Meanwhile, those using a scribe or seeking changes to certain subject preferences must complete the required formalities by October 27.

SSC JE Paper 1 admit card 2026: How many days before the exam will it be available?

The examination city information and the admit card are two separate documents. While candidates can now access their city details, the admission certificate, the document required for appearing in the examination, is expected to be issued around two to three days before their respective test date. Candidates should not treat the city intimation details as a substitute for the admission certificate. They should keep an eye on the SSC portal for the release of the latter and check the instructions printed on it before heading to the examination centre.

SSC JE 2026: Two important deadlines fall on October 27

Apart from checking their examination city, certain candidates need to act before the October 27 deadline. The commission has outlined requirements relating to scribe registration and subject preferences.

Own scribe facility: Fresh registration required

Candidates who intend to bring their own scribe may have to complete the registration process again. The SSC has integrated the process with Aadhaar authentication, making fresh registration necessary for candidates covered by the revised instructions.

The scribe's One-Time Registration (OTR) must be mapped by October 27, 2026, at 11 pm. Candidates should ensure the registration and mapping are completed before the deadline to use the facility during the examination.

Subject preference: Who can make changes?

Candidates who applied for JE (Telecommunication Engineering) and are also eligible for Scientific Assistant (SA) can make certain changes to their subject preferences under the commission's instructions.

Those who chose Scientific Assistant as their default subject can switch to Electrical and Telecommunication (EC/TC). Candidates seeking Computer Science and Information Technology (CS/IT) or Physics as their subject can make the selection through the city selection option.

The correction facility closes at 11 pm on October 27, 2026. No further changes will be accepted after that time. Candidates must appear for the subject mentioned in their admission certificate.
