DDA JE Syllabus :
Let's discuss further. You'll see both technical and non-technical subjects. In the technical exam, you'll see a total of 80 marks. Each question carries one mark. This means you'll see 80 questions worth 80 marks. Within the non-technical section, you have four portions: General Awareness, Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude, and English . A total of 40 questions, each worth 40 marks, means your entire paper is worth 120 marks. The total number of questions, or your total marks, is 120. Right?

Your paper will be in both languages. It will come. Okay? And there is nothing after this. There will be only one paper. There is no document verification or interview. You get selected directly for your exam. Let's move ahead. Now the question arises, what are the types of questions and what was the average subject weightage in previous years? Look, on one side I have written the subject and on the other side the average approximate marks - your paper was held in approximately nine shifts last year. The last time it was held in 2023, the subject weightage was. Soam's weightage was nine marks. Tross's weightage was three marks. RCC's average was six nine marks.
Steel's was six marks. Soil has 10 marks, FM, HM, OCF eight marks, Environmental Condition 18, sorry eight marks, Highway two marks, Survey you have nine marks and BAMCT 16 marks. If you think about which subject we should study, then you cannot leave out any subject. I will discuss this with you later. In this way, your total marks are 80. I told you the average weight of the subject, which is calculated by taking the total average of all the shifts. Let's talk about what type of questions are asked in this, Sir . This is very important for you to know. Look at this. First of all, you'll be asked direct data-based questions. These include statement-based questions. Numerical questions are also asked. Assertion region questions, which are part of the statement. Furthermore, IS code-based questions and Match the Column are the least asked questions so far. They're very rare. But the rest are a good combination. This exam features small numerical questions, statement-based questions, and your IS code. I'll definitely draw a red heart for you on this one. This one, this one, and this one. These types of questions are asked quite a lot here. There are other databases too. You can accept that. But you'll need to pay special attention to three . Let me do one thing. I'll show you a sample of things. For example, one question was asked. You were asked this question in fluid mechanics. We were given a simple numerical explanation: "Tell me the surface tension of a soap bubble of 80 mm diameter whose internal pressure is given to you along the axis of the outside pressure." And let's talk about RCC. As I told you, you will be asked code-based questions. You are being asked, brother, what coverage you have under extreme exposure conditions should not be more than, or should not be less than, what? So you know 20, 30, 45, 50 and 75.
So, you have been asked about your mild, moderate, severe, very severe, extreme, the answer for extreme is 75 mm, in this way IS code based questions will also be asked and let's see the questions, see, again you have another IS code based question, the area of the tension reinforcement should not be more than what, according to IS code it should not be more than 4%, similarly I have asked you this, see the reasoning questions, see how are the reasoning coding and decoding questions, you can see one, okay, apart from this there is another question of number series or you can call it series. You have only one question about the number series.
Look, I've seen the English questions here. The English questions are mostly paragraph-based; you're given a paragraph, and you have to sort out the answers from a comprehensive paragraph. So, it takes a little time , but I hope you'll be able to do it , as you're given 120 minutes. The number of questions is quite low compared to SSC and RRB. We'll discuss them later. You've been given a sentence. You're asked to arrange it correctly. How will it be arranged correctly? These are your English questions. These are the English questions. We'll discuss them later. For example, this is a math question about percentages.
You've been given a math percentage question, saying, "A person's expenditure is 70% of their income. This expenditure is 70% of their income. Their income increases by 12%. So, your expenditures also increase by 7.5%." So, you were asked, What will be his percentage increment within his savings? So, I've asked you these questions.
There were no vacancies in 2025. What's happening with your vacancies in 2025? You have a combined syllabus for both English (or sorry, electrical) and mechanical. Meaning, you have a 50-50% syllabus. So, the electrical major will have to study mechanical. The mechanical major will have to study electrical. You'll have to manage this yourself .
DDA JE cut off :
Let 's discuss the cut-off for civil, and then the cut-off for mechanical and electrical . There were very few vacancies, very few. I'm telling you based on that. So , if we talk about cut-off marks here, look, the cut-off for general was 91.612 . Apart from this, the cut-offs for EWS, SC, ST, OBC, and then O, HH have been announced. You can pause the video and watch them. You might be able to understand one thing: if you only studied technical, you won't get selected for this position. If you're strong in non-tech, it's not the same, as it is only worth 40 marks. This means both your portions must be strong and strong enough to qualify for this exam in one sitting.
The job you have is the profile of an SSC JE or RRB JE. These are the things you'll have to do in Delhi. This means supervising the project, handling project accounts for a particular project, planning and designing, and planning how the project's execution will be executed. Research and development (RAD) and maintenance of the equipment, and maintenance of the project. You'll have to do all these things after passing this particular exam or after being appointed to this particular post . These will be your job profiles. So, I've told you everything we promised you at the beginning about what you should do. Let's discuss a little more about how to prepare for this exam.
First, you can join our properly connected DDA JE batch , which we've designed specifically for DDA JE . You can join that. If you're preparing on your own through self-study , let me tell you that there are four strong pillars for preparing for any exam, the first of which is completing your syllabus. Now, have you realised something? Syllabus completion requires you to study every single point. This means you must thoroughly cover every single point in your subjects. After completing, always keep one thing in mind: you must have relevant study material. Review all previous years' questions. You 'll get an idea of how much material you need to study and how deeply you need to delve . Instead of using multiple sources, you need to use one strong source. This is how you can clear the exam. The third point is practice and analysis. Since everything will come later, practice is the key.
