The wait for the SSC JE 2026 merit list release continues, with thousands of candidates regularly checking the official portal for any movement. As of now, the Staff Selection Commission has not issued a formal notification confirming the merit list date. Students who appeared in Paper 1 and Paper 2 are advised to rely only on official updates from SSC.
When is the SSC JE 2026 merit list expected?
The merit list is usually published after the completion of both written papers and evaluation.
For SSC JE 2026, the authority has not announced the release date yet. Based on previous years, the merit list typically follows a few weeks after the Paper 2 result, once final answer keys and normalization processes are completed. However, this is only a timeline pattern, not an official confirmation.
Candidates should avoid relying on social media claims or unofficial websites for release dates.
What has SSC officially confirmed so far?
SSC has confirmed only the stages of the selection process, not the merit list date.
So far, the commission has released the Paper 1 and Paper 2 examination schedules and results as per its annual calendar. No public notice has been issued regarding the final merit list for SSC JE 2026. If and when an update is released, it will appear only on the official SSC website.
Until then, no authority-backed date exists.
How can students check the SSC JE 2026 merit list?
Students can check the merit list only through the official SSC website.
Once released, candidates should follow these steps:
- Visit the official website of the Staff Selection Commission: ssc.gov.in
- Click on the “Results” section on the homepage.
- Select the “Junior Engineer (JE) Examination 2026” link.
- Open the merit list or final result PDF.

No other platform is authorized to publish the official merit list.
What cut-off can be expected for SSC JE 2026?
The cut-off is decided category-wise and discipline-wise after result normalization.
The official cut-off marks will be published along with the merit list. While exact figures cannot be predicted, previous years show that general category cut-offs usually range higher in Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical disciplines due to competition. Factors such as exam difficulty, number of candidates, and vacancy count directly affect the final cut-off.
All cut-off figures remain estimates until SSC releases official data.
What happens after the SSC JE 2026 merit list?
The merit list marks the completion of the written examination stage.
After the merit list release, shortlisted candidates are called for document verification. During this stage, SSC verifies educational qualifications, category certificates, age eligibility, and other required documents. Final appointment recommendations are made only after successful verification.
Posting and joining instructions are issued later by the respective departments, not by SSC.
