Candidates are appointed to Group-'B' posts in the Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Quantity Surveying, and Contract domains through the SSC JE exam. The exam aims to assess the candidates' knowledge and skills in the field of civil engineering. While the specific details may vary depending on the conducting organisation.

The eligibility criteria for the Junior Engineer (Civil) exam may vary based on the organisation conducting the exam. Generally, candidates are required to have a Diploma or Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from a recognized university or institution. Some organisations may have additional requirements such as age limits and experience. Age : Min Age 18 years , Max Age 33 years for UR Category,  36 years for OBC- NCL and 38 years for SC/ST. Ex Servicemen candidates have an age relaxation on the basis of their service in defence and category.
