About the SSC JE Examination
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) conducts the Junior Engineer (Civil, Mechanical & Electrical) Examination to recruit engineers for various central government departments, including the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), Central Public Works Department (CPWD), Central Water Commission (CWC), Military Engineering Services (MES), and others. The selection process typically involves a Tier-I (Computer-Based Examination) and a Tier-II (Paper-II) stage, followed by document verification [citation:9][citation:11].
What is the Current Notice About?
The official notice, dated 21 August 2026, informs candidates that the Commission has uploaded the Final Answer Keys along with the Question Papers cum Response Sheets for Paper-II of the Junior Engineer (Civil, Mechanical & Electrical) Examination, 2025. Additionally, the final marks of candidates—both qualified and non-qualified—who appeared in Paper-II have been made available on the Commission's website [citation:source_pdf].
This is the definitive key. Unlike the provisional answer key released in April 2026, which allowed candidates to raise objections, this final key reflects the Commission's final decisions after reviewing all challenges [citation:3][citation:5][citation:7]. Candidates can now compare their marked responses against the final correct answers to calculate their actual score.
Availability Window
The facility to access these documents is strictly time-bound:

After the specified time limit, the Commission has stated that the documents will not be available, and individual requests for the same will not be entertained [citation:source_pdf]. This is a strict, non-negotiable deadline, similar to how the Paper-I final answer key facility was handled [citation:1].
Personal Use Only
An important clause in the notice states that the saved Question Paper will be strictly for personal use and self-analysis only. An undertaking to this effect has been included in the Final Answer Keys, which will be visible to candidates when they log in. This prevents candidates from using the material for commercial purposes or coaching-related activities [citation:source_pdf].
