Hello,

Eligibility for the Junior Engineer (JE) exam mainly depends on the organization conducting it, for example, SSC JE , State PSC JE , or Railway JE .

Generally, the Junior Engineer post requires a Diploma or Degree in Engineering (like Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, etc.) from a recognized university.

Since you have a BA and are now pursuing MSc in Computer Science , you are not eligible for most JE exams because they require a technical engineering qualification , not a science or arts degree.

However, you can apply for other exams related to your background, such as:

  • SSC CGL/CHSL

  • State PSC exams for administrative or clerical posts

  • Bank exams

  • UPSC Civil Services

If you want to work as a Junior Engineer in the future, you would need to complete a Diploma or B.Tech in Engineering from a recognized institute.

Hope it helps !
