Cut-off: 127.22748
Cut-offs change every year with difficulty and vacancies — treat last year's as a guide, not a promise. Official cut-off marks out of 200 (normalized), from the SSC Paper-I result of 6 March 2026. Paper-I was held from 3 to 6 December 2025 and on 13 December 2025. 11,593 candidates were shortlisted for Paper-II in Civil.
Paper-I has 200 questions for 200 marks: 1 mark for each correct answer and 0.25 mark cut for each wrong answer (JE 2026 notice, para 13.10). Everyone answers General Intelligence and Reasoning and General Awareness, plus one part for their post: Part-A Civil, Part-B Electrical or Part-C Mechanical (Part-D/E/F for SA in IMD, Part-G for JE Telecom). This gives your raw score. SSC normalizes marks across shifts and between the Electrical and Mechanical papers, so your official score may be different. Paper-I is only used to shortlist for Paper-II.
How your SSC JE 2026 score is calculated
Each section is scored on its own: right answers × marks per question, minus wrong answers × the negative mark. Skipped questions score zero. For example, in General Intelligence and Reasoning (50 questions), 35 right and 8 wrong gives 35 × 1 − 8 × 1/4 = 33 marks.
| Section | Right | Wrong | Skipped | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General Intelligence and Reasoning | 35 | 8 | 7 | 33 |
| General Awareness | 35 | 8 | 7 | 33 |
| Part-A/B/C: General Engineering (Civil & Structural / Electrical / Mechanical) – or Part-D/E/F/G for SA (IMD) and JE (Telecom) | 70 | 15 | 15 | 66.25 |
| Total (out of 200) | 132.25 | |||
In this example negative marking costs 7.75 marks. With this marking a pure blind guess on a 4-option question still gains about 0.06 marks on average — but it's a gamble, and ruling out even one option makes guessing clearly worth it.
