Typing Test

The minimum speed may be fixed at 30 w.p.m. in English and 25 w.p.m in Hindi for the typing test to be conducted on both Manual typewriters and Personal Computers.

(ii) 5% mistakes of the total words typed may be ignored and thereafter for every mistake corresponding words may be deducted from the total words typed for arriving at final speed.

For Example:-

For a typing test of 10 minutes:-

5% mistakes of total words typed are ignored.

Total strokes typed : 1600

Words typed : 1600/5= 320

Mistakes : 19

Ignorable mistakes : 5% of 320= 16

Remaining mistakes : 19-16=3

Mistakes to be deducted for : 320-(3x10)=290

arriving a net words typed

As per formula: No. of total words typed-(No. of mistakes x10)/time

Speed per minute : 290/10= 29

(iii) Use of editing tools for correcting the mistakes of the typed matter should not be permitted in case typing test is conducted on computer if the candidate opts to type at speed of 25.wp.m. in Hindi and 30 w.p.m. in English. This function should be disabled before conducting typing test.
