The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has released an important update for Junior Engineer (JE) 2025 candidates. The Commission has opened the 'Option-cum-Preference Submission Window' for eligible candidates who appeared for the Paper-II examination.
This process begins at 5:00 PM on June 10, 2026, and will remain open until 11:59 PM on June 14, 2026. Candidates must log in to the official SSC website to submit their list of preferred posts and organisations. Failure to complete this step will result in dismissal from the final merit list.
The 'Option-cum-Preference' process allows candidates to select various posts and organisations in their order of preference. When determining the final posting, both the candidate's position on the merit list and their list of selected preferences are taken into account. In other words, achieving a high rank is not enough; submitting the preference list correctly is equally important.
The SSC authorities have announced the schedule, with the 'Option-cum-Preference' window opening on June 10, 2026 (5:00 PM) and the deadline for submitting preferences being June 14, 2026 (11:59 PM).
The SSC has clearly said that candidates who fail to submit their 'Option-cum-Preference' within the mentioned time will not be included in the final merit list, will not be considered for final selection, and will not be granted any further opportunity. Therefore, this step should not be overlooked.
Yes, for the benefit of SSC candidates, the option to change preferences multiple times within the mentioned timeframe has been provided. However, please note that while you may change your preferences as often as you wish, only the preferences submitted last will be considered final; simply saving the changes is not enough, you must submit them.
SSC has issued important guidelines for candidates with benchmark disabilities. They must select posts suitable for their specific disabilities and keep at to the instructions outlined in the examination notification. Incorrect selection of posts could lead to complications at a later stage.
Candidates wishing to opt for posts in the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) must first ensure that they meet the prescribed physical qualifications and necessary medical standards. Preferences should not be submitted without verifying these requirements.
Final post allocation for the SSC JE will be based on two factors: merit rank and option-cum-preference. A candidate with a higher rank has a greater chance of securing a post according to their preference.
I am writing about this because many candidates consider only passing the exam to be the final step. However, the submission of 'Option-cum-Preference' is a mandatory stage in the SSC JE recruitment process. Failure to complete this step can result in a candidate losing the opportunity for final appointment, even if they hold a good rank. Therefore, it is crucial to be well-informed about this process and to complete it within the mentioned timeframe.
