In Paper-I, 0.25 marks will be deducted for each wrong answer.

Once score marks equal to or higher than the minimum cut off (to be decided
by SSC) in Paper I, you will be eligible to appear for paper II.
You will be selected based on the total marks you obtain in Paper I
and Paper II.
Choose your subjects for Part-A, B and C according to the post you are
applying for. If you fail in the subject that you choose, your answer sheet will
not be evaluated.
You will be allowed to bring their own SlideRule, Calculator, Logarithm
Tables and Steam Table for Paper-II only. You are not allowed to use
such aids for Paper-I.
Your answer sheets will be made available to you by SSC after the
examination. You can raise your objections at that time, if you have any.

Now that you have gone through the detailed SSC JE Exam Pattern, please go
through the SSC JE Syllabus to choose your subject carefully.
