SSC JE 2012 Subject wise Marks Distribution

SSC JE 2012 Objective Paper Subject Wise Mark Distribution and Analysis

Dear Aspirants,

We have analysed the objective Paper of JE Examination 2012, which was conducted by Staff selection commission.

Out of 100 Question, The distribution of marks in different subjects is :

1.  Strength of Material 25 Marks

2.  Building Material and construction 19 Mark

3.  Reinforced Concrete Structure 15 Mark

4.  Surveying 14 Marks

5.  Fluid Mechanics 9 marks

6.  Soil Mechanics 7 mark

7.  Environmental Engineering 4 mark

8.  Steel Structures 3 marks

9.  Highway and Traffic Engineering 2 Marks

10. Irrigation Engineering 1 marks

The points which also need consideration:

1.In Reinforced concrete structures mainly questions were asked based on the recommendations of IS 456 and one or two question were also asked from topics mainly Design of Beam for Flexure and Shear.

2.One have to prepare strength of material, Building Material and construction sincerely. Difficulty level is low and one can find all questions in these subjects from book by Gupta and Gupta

3.In Fluid Mechanics Open channel flow is important.

4. I would not like to suggest wasting time in preparing environment engineering and Highway and traffic engineering as they can question from any part of syllabus. But one can go, If he has plenty of time.

5.Skip Irrigation as weightage is very low and questions are of general nature, which one can easily answer. 

6. In soil soil mechanics questions are being asked from 5 or 6 chapters of starting. Difficulty level low. Similar questions can be found in Gupta and Gupta.

7. Last year Cutoff for objective is 80 out of 200 and expected cutoff for this year will be around 85-90 (as No of Btech Students applying for SSC JE is increasing every year so cutoff may increase above 90 in extreme condition)

8. For objective, pattern will more or less remain same every year.

9. In Civil Engineering "Gupta and Gupta" and "R Agor" are best books for preparation although subject matter is not given in these books. People used to learn objective questions from these books, which can be easily found in any competitive exam. Books containing Subject matter are also available in Market but I would not suggest them as they are neither good nor authentic. 

I think this is enough for today. If required, I will tell you about subjective paper some other Day.

I hope you will not forget to appreciate my work.

Wish you all the best for SSC JE 2015!!!!
