Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Service Selection Commission (UPSSSC) will going to conduct written examination for 4016 posts of civil engineers in various department under advertisement no. 08-Exam/2024. This a massive recruitment after a long time of delays and court cases. Originally it was supposed to be conducted in 2023, but now the final date of application is over.
In case you have applied for UP JE civil recruitment then you must be looking for its examination syllabus and pattern. The official notification doesn’t mention about written examination pattern or subjects but states that applicant will be informed in future.
Therefore, this UPSSSC JE Civil syllabus is an unofficial copy of JE CIVIL ENGG. EXAM 2018. We will update this page (in case of any change) when Jr engineer civil syllabus 2024 will be published officially on https://upsssc.gov.in/.
