SSC JE is lower than the entry-level position of IES. The designation of IES is Assistant Executive Engineers.

The Pay-Scale of both jobs is as follows.

So, IES wins for the salary perks.

• IES gets an opportunity for promotion very frequently as per the time basis, but SSC JE does not have that frequent promotion opportunity. 
• To compare the work of both the two jobs, IES heads the Engineering department and formulate policies, and JE works on the execution of policies formed by IES.

Difference between SSC JE & IES: (on exam basis)

• Every year 2500 JE and 400 IES are recruited. (approximately)
• SSC JE is generally to recruit diploma engineers, and IES recruits engineering degree graduates.
• SSC JE exam is a bit on the easier side, whereas the IES exam difficulty level is high. This can be concluded from the above recruitment numbers.

Exam Pattern:

SSC JE-

• Paper-1: MCQs: General Awareness, General Knowledge, and General Engineering

• Total marks- 500

IES-

• Stage-I: Objective: General Knowledge & Engineering Aptitude

Between these two, LPU NEST is relatively easier than Amity JEE, although the syllabus of these two entrance exams is almost similar. Both of these exams are conducted online, and are convenient for the student to take part from anywhere.

Following considerations will be helpful to comprehend why LPU NEST is more comfortable than the other one.

LPU NEST

• This exam does not have any negative marking; thereby, the students cannot lose marks for their wrong answers.
• Besides, after cracking this test, the student will get the opportunity to select their subjects from various streams, including Engineering and Management, Agriculture, Commerce, etc. offered by this institute.
• The scholarship is attached to this test. The meritorious students get the scholarship facilities as per their scores in the LPU NEST exams.

Amity JEE

• It has negative marking, and one mark is deducted for every four wrong answers.
• While Amity JEE is only for getting admission in Engineering subjects at Amity University and not for other subjects.
• The scholarship is not attached to this test, so the programs in this institute are mostly self-paced.

The syllabus is almost similar to both of these tests, as mentioned earlier, and it follows the basic concept of the subject that the student has learned in his or her previous qualification. The important thing is that LPU NEST does not have the negative marking and the students get scholarships, as per their merit list; hence, it is easier to crack.
