Below are some key tips to be followed to crack SSC JE electrical engineering exam:
-
Knowing the syllabus and exam pattern
Toppers never start preparing without analyzing the exam pattern and syllabus because exam pattern and syllabus is a foundation stone for any exam. So, it is highly recommended to every mechanical student to go through the exam pattern and syllabus of SSC JE Mechanical Engineering and start their preparation according to requirement of exam.
-
Analyzing previous year cut off and subject wise weightage
Subject wise weightage and previous years cut off help student to know the competition and exam focus point i.e.; which topic to study and what is exam requirement and how much they have to compete to achieve success in the exam. End goal is analysis to conquer exam at the maximum pace.
Below the subject wise weightage and cutoff of mechanical engineering shown consider them for your reference:

3. Best study resource and online coaching
Today market consists of bulk quantity and unrelated study materials for SSC JE Mechanical Engineering. According to experts of Next Engineer and Toppers the best material has few characteristics that are:
- The study material and online course should be capable of providing Comprehensive and Structured knowledge of the SSC JE exam syllabus of mechanical engineering.
- Should be designed by experts in the SSC JE Mechanical Engineering Domain from a long time.
- Trusted & Recommended by so many students of the same domain of Engineering.
- Have the quality material with affordability for student benefit.
- Should be feasible according to exam requirement and time allotted.
- Should be easily understandable and student centric in nature.
4. Revision and time management
Making proper daily, weekly, monthly time table is secrete to be topper in exam. Toppers first maintain proper time table for managing productivity of studies for the whole day. The time table help them as a checklist/ to do list for the whole day and also help them in optimal time management.
5. Making notes
Students should rely on two types of notes that is first comprehensive notes for complete understanding of the subject they are studying and other is short notes for the purpose of revision. Short notes must include all the important concepts discussed in the class, all important formulas, and all silly point observed during practice, test series and mock test etc. Notes making itself served as an art because what to include in notes and what you need to be perfect in subject/topic etc. depends fully on you and you will include those things in the notes.
6. Consistency and self-motivation
As hurdles in the preparation is a part of preparation itself and the students who fight with the situations bravely and complete their preparations and achieve success get pay off to all obstruction they faced. So to achieve success in SSC JE mechanical engineering the student should be consistent throughout the preparations till the exam.
7. Practicing Previous year questions
The key to conquer any exam is practicing concepts as much as possible. Toppers do practice of the questions just after completing any concept or topic from the practice sheets and previous year question to get command on the topic and understanding level of questions from the topic in previous years. Ever student should follow this for getting better outcome during the preparation.
8. Test Series and Mock test
Test and Mocks are the gateway of self-evaluation of the week concepts, points to remember and also help to give the reality check of preparations for the final exam. Test series and mock test can help to increase final score only if student analyses them in a better manner.
