Typing test for government exams, in English and Hindi

Clerk, assistant and data entry posts often have a typing or skill test after the written exam, and it is qualifying: miss the speed and the written score does not help. This test gives you a passage in English or Hindi, a timer that starts with your first key and, at the end, your net and gross speed in words per minute, your accuracy and a list of the words you got wrong. Choose the duration yourself, or pick an exam to use the test time printed in its official pattern, and enter the speed your notice asks for to see whether you reach it. What you type stays in your browser.

Duration
Every year a large share of the rain that falls on our towns and villages runs off into drains and rivers before it can soak into the ground. In many districts the water table has fallen so far that hand pumps run dry in summer and farmers must dig deeper wells at great cost. Rainwater harvesting is one of the simplest ways to reverse this trend. A house can collect water from its roof through a pipe into a tank or a recharge pit filled with layers of stones and sand. Schools, offices and community halls can do the same on a larger scale, and a village can revive an old pond by removing silt before the monsoon. Such work does not need costly machines, only planning and regular care. Local bodies can help by making recharge pits a condition for new buildings and by keeping public ponds free of waste. When each family saves a little water, the whole area benefits, because the ground holds the water for the dry months. Clean water close to home also saves time, especially for women and children who would otherwise walk long distances to fetch it. Protecting this resource is therefore not only a duty of the government but a habit that every citizen can practise.

How to use it

  1. Choose English or Hindi and a passage. For Hindi, set up the Hindi keyboard your exam allows on your computer or phone first.
  2. Choose a duration, or an exam to use its official test time, and enter your target speed from the notice if you know it.
  3. Click in the box and start typing. The timer starts with your first key; pasting is blocked.
  4. When time is up, or when you tap Finish now, read your net speed, accuracy and mistakes, then start again with another passage.

How speed is worked out

Speed follows the usual convention that five characters, spaces included, make one word. Gross speed is everything you typed divided by five and by the minutes used. Each word that is wrong, left out or added is one mistake, and net speed is gross speed minus mistakes per minute. Your typing is compared word by word with the part of the passage you reached, so the words you did not get to are not counted against you.

Exam rules differ

Each recruiting body sets its own typing rules: the speed needed, the time allowed, how full and half mistakes are counted, whether speed is measured in words per minute or key depressions per hour, and which Hindi keyboard or font is allowed. This tool does not copy any body’s scoring. Use it to build speed and accuracy, and read the typing test rules in your notice before the exam.

Typing in Hindi

The Hindi passages are ordinary Unicode text, so they work with any Hindi keyboard set up on your device, whether Inscript, Remington (GAIL) or a phone keyboard. Practise on the layout your exam allows, because switching layouts close to the test costs speed. A word with a wrong matra or half letter counts as a mistake, exactly as in English.

Frequently asked questions

Is what I type saved or sent anywhere?

No. The test and the result run in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to our server, and it is gone when you close the page.

What is the difference between net and gross speed?

Gross speed counts everything you typed. Net speed takes off one word per minute for each mistake, so it shows the speed that counts when accuracy matters.

Why is pasting blocked?

So that the result reflects your own typing. Exam typing tests do not allow pasting either.

Where does the exam duration come from?

From the exam pattern printed in the official notice, as shown on our exam page. The required speed is not filled in for you; enter the figure from your notice.

Can I practise on a phone?

Yes, but exam typing tests are taken on a computer keyboard, so practise on one as well once you can.
