SSC released the JE 2026 Paper 1 exam city intimation slip on 23 October 2026. Here's how to check your city, date and shift on ssc.gov.in, why your slip might not show yet, the 27 October scribe deadline, and when to expect the admit card.

TL;DRThe short version

  • SSC released the JE 2026 Paper 1 exam city intimation slip on 23 October 2026. Paper 1 runs from 2 to 6 November 2026, and the slip shows your city, date and shift.
  • Not live for everyone yet. According to Testbook, slips were out only for the 2, 3 and 4 November exams at first. JE Telecom (DoT) candidates write on 30 November and 1 December, and their slip comes later.
  • The city slip is not your admit card. The admit card was still not out on 25 October 2026 and has no official date. Coaching sites expect it from about 29–31 October, or 2–3 days before your exam. Scribe deadline: 27 October 2026, 11:00 PM.
  • Log in with your registration number and password to check your exam city: ssc.gov.in/loginThis is SSC's official portal. The admit card will be on the same login.

The SSC JE exam city intimation slip for Paper 1 of the Junior Engineer Examination 2026 has been out since 23 October 2026. To see your exam city, date and shift, log in at ssc.gov.in/login. The exam starts on 2 November, so as of 25 October you have about a week to plan travel. The slip is not an entry pass, though. You still need the admit card, which SSC had not released as of 25 October 2026.

How to check your SSC JE exam city intimation slip

  1. Go to ssc.gov.in/login, or open ssc.gov.in and click Login/Register.
  2. Enter your registration number, password and the captcha.
  3. On your dashboard, open "Junior Engineer Examination, 2026 (Computer Based Examination) Paper-I Exam City Intimation".
  4. Check your details, then save or screenshot the slip.

The slip shows your name, registration number, exam city and state, exam date and shift. It doesn't give the exact centre address, roll number or photo. Those will be on the admit card.

Why your slip isn't showing

  • Your exam is on 5 or 6 November. According to Testbook, SSC first released slips only for exams on 2, 3 and 4 November. Slips for the later dates should follow.
  • You applied for JE Telecom (DoT). Telecom has separate exam dates (30 November–1 December), so its slip comes later, around 20 November by Testbook's estimate.
  • You're on the wrong exam. RRB JE (Railways) city slips are coming out around the same time. RRB JE is a different exam on different websites. Also ignore older pages about a Paper 2 city slip from March 2026. That was the previous cycle.

Can you change your exam city? Only if SSC decides to allow it, and only through its official channels. Don't pay anyone who offers to change it for you.

Shift timings and what to carry

Testbook lists these shifts, based on last year's exam. They aren't official for 2026. Your admit card will have the timings that actually apply to you. Gates are expected to close 30 minutes before the start.

ShiftExam timeReporting time
19:00–11:00 AM8:00 AM
21:00–3:00 PM12:00 PM
35:00–7:00 PM4:00 PM

Paper 1 has 50 questions each on Reasoning and General Awareness and 100 on Engineering. If you're bringing your own scribe, map the scribe to your OTR and finish Aadhaar authentication by 27 October 2026, 11:00 PM. According to FreeJobAlert and Testbook, scribe registrations made before 5 November 2025 were disposed of, so those candidates need to register again. FreeJobAlert says Scientific Assistant subject changes have the same deadline. These details come from those two sites, because we couldn't extract the text of SSC's notice to confirm them.

1,699 or 1,748 vacancies?

1,699 is the current tentative number. The notification of 2 September 2026 listed 1,748 posts. Around 8 October SSC released a revised tentative vacancy list that cut 49 posts. One source dates it 9 October. Several job sites still show 1,748, which is out of date. The posts are Group B, Level 6, with pay of ₹35,400–₹1,12,400.

What happens next

  • Admit card: it will be on the same login. There's no official date yet. Coaching sites expect it from about 29–31 October, or 2–3 days before your exam, which works out to roughly 30 October to 4 November.
  • Paper 1: 2–6 November (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, IMD), and 30 November–1 December (Telecom).
  • Paper 2: December 2026, tentatively. After that come document verification and the medical.

Frequently asked questions

Is the SSC JE exam city intimation slip 2026 out?

Yes. SSC released the JE 2026 Paper 1 city intimation slip on 23 October 2026 for the 2–6 November exams. According to Testbook, slips first went live only for candidates whose exams are on 2, 3 and 4 November, and the 5 and 6 November slips should follow.

How do I download the SSC JE city slip?

Go to ssc.gov.in/login and enter your registration number, password and the captcha.

It shows your exam city, state, date and shift, but not the exact centre address.

Is the SSC JE city intimation slip the same as the admit card?

No. The city slip only tells you your exam city, date and shift so you can plan travel. It doesn't give the exact centre address, roll number or photo, and it won't get you into the exam hall. You need the admit card for that. SSC will release it later on the same login page.
