What Is the SSC JE First Round Tentative Allocation List?
Once the SSC JE selection process (Paper I, Paper II and Document Verification) is completed, the Commission prepares a final result of candidates who qualify for the post of Junior Engineer. Based on the choices filled by candidates and the number of vacancies notified by different user departments (such as CPWD, BRO, MES, and other central government organisations), SSC then carries out a post-preference-based allocation exercise. The First Round of Tentative Allocation is the first output of this exercise. It shows, against each roll number, the category under which the candidate has been considered (CAT1, CAT2, CAT3), the post finally selected for the candidate (POSTSEL), the category under which the selection has been made (CATSEL), and the candidate's rank or serial number in that category and post combination.
SSC JE 2025 Category Codes Explained
The allocation list uses numeric codes instead of full category names. These codes are explained at the bottom of every page of the official document. Here is what each code stands for:

| 1 | SC (Scheduled Caste) |
