SSC JE Mechanical Syllabus 2019 | SSC JE Syllabus for Mechanical Engineering

If you are a Mechanical Engineering (ME) graduate and you are looking for a government job, then the SSC JE exam 2019 is one of the most lucrative options that you have. If you want to crack the exam, then you should be a good idea about the SSC JE mechanical syllabus. Here, we are going to take a close look at the SSC JE mechanical engineering syllabus and try to understand the best way to approach it.

Understanding the SSC JE mechanical syllabus 2019

The SSC JE Exam 2019 is divided into two stages – Paper I and Paper II. You need to qualify in Paper I to be eligible for the final round, i.e. Paper II. You would encounter questions from Mechanical Engineering (or any other branch that you choose) in both the stages.

Crack SSC JE Mechanical Paper

In Paper I of the SSC Junior Engineers exam, Mechanical Engineering questions would be asked in the ‘General Engineering’ section. This section is objective in nature. Once you qualify in Paper I, you would again have to answer Mechanical questions in Paper II. However, the answers to these questions would be descriptive in nature.

SSC JE 2019 mechanical syllabus is different for each of the papers. Let us now look into them.

SSC JE  Mechanical Syllabus for Paper I

If you have opted for Mechanical Engineering, then you would get questions worth 100 marks in Paper I. All of them would be objective in nature. Paper I is a computer-based test.

The SSC JE mechanical syllabus for Paper I is given below:

SSC JE Mechanical Syllabus 2019 for Paper II

In Paper II, the entire exam would be on Mechanical engineering (or the branch of engineering that you have opted for). The total marks would be 300 and you would be allotted  3 hours to solve the questions. Usually, candidates are given 6-7 questions and are asked to solve 5-6 of them.

The SSC JE mechanical syllabus for Paper II is given below:
