| Part A: General Engineering (Civil) OR Part B: General Engineering (Mechanical) OR Part C: General Engineering (Electrical) OR | 100 | 100 |
| Total | 200 | 200 |
Paper II Exam Pattern
| Paper | Exam Type | Subjects | Marks | Time |
| Paper-II | Computer Based Examination | Part-A General Engineering (Civil & Structural) or Part-B General Engineering (Electrical) or Part-C General Engineering (Mechanical) | 300 | 2 Hours (2 hours and 40 minutes for the candidates who are eligible for a scribe as per Para- 9.1 and 9.2) |
- The candidates will be required to attempt the General Engineering part (i.e. Part-A, Part- B or Part-C) in Paper-I and Paper-II, which has been selected by them, on the basis of their educational qualification, in the online application form. In other words, the candidates appearing for the post of Junior Engineer (Civil), Junior Engineer (Quantity Surveying & Contracts) are required to attempt Part-A (Civil & Structural) of Paper-I and Paper-II and the candidates appearing for the post of Junior Engineer (Electrical) is required to attempt Part- B (Electrical) and the candidates appearing for the post of Junior Engineer (Mechanical) are required to attempt Part-C (Mechanical) of Paper-I and Paper-II failing which their candidature will be rejected.
- Paper I will consist of Objective Type, Multiple-choice questions only. The questions will be set both in English & Hindi.
- There will be a negative marking of 0.25 marks for each wrong answer in Paper-I. Candidates are, therefore, advised to keep this in mind while answering the questions.
- Candidates are allowed to bring their own Slide–Rule, Calculator, Logarithm Table, and Steam Table for Paper II only. They are not allowed to use such aids for Paper-I.
