DSSSB Typing Test Simulator

Does the 35 WPM (English) and 30 WPM (Hindi) rule apply to all DSSSB vacancies?

No, parameters change by vacancy. Lower Division Clerks (LDC), Junior Assistants (JSA), and Field Clerks require 35 WPM English / 30 WPM Hindi. Senior Personal Assistants (SPA) require 40 WPM English / 35 WPM Hindi. Junior Judicial Assistants (JJA) require 40 WPM in English only.

How long is the skill test window for PwBD category candidates?

Candidates eligible under the Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) category receive an extended test duration of 15 minutes instead of the standard 10 minutes.

Can I change my typing test language after clearing the Tier-1 written exam?

No. The language option must be locked in advance through the DSSSB OARS Portal during your initial form submission. If no choice is submitted, the system permanently defaults your medium to English.

What is the specific mathematical formula used by DSSSB to determine my result?

The standard evaluation method follows these exact procedural steps:

1. Total characters typed (including spaces) are divided by 5 to calculate Gross Words.
2. Errors are penalised using the formula:

3. The final calculation is executed as:

Is there an absolute error limit or accuracy percentage threshold to pass?

For general clerical posts like LDC or JSA, there is no fixed maximum error ceiling; you simply must maintain a final Net Speed at or above your target threshold after deductions are applied. However, specific premium posts enforce absolute error ceilings, such as the JJA post which disqualifies anyone exceeding a strict 3% mistake limit.

Exactly what typed events trigger a "Full Mistake" vs a "Half Mistake"?

The board categorises evaluation errors via two clear parameters:
Full Mistakes (1 Word Deduction): Omitting a word entirely, adding an unwritten word, or substituting an exam word with a completely wrong spelling.
Half Mistakes (0.5 Word Deduction): Wrong capitalisation, missing or doubling a grammatical punctuation mark, and faulty spacing between consecutive words.

What platform does DSSSB use for the computer-based typing exam?

The evaluation is regularly provisioned over the standard TCS iON examination interface.

What are the layout rules regarding "Blind Typing"?

The testing screen operates completely "blind". The interface will never highlight the active word and will never mark text changes red when a typo is committed. The layout window remains a uniform, neutral color throughout your session.

What happens if I make an error and hit space—can I go back?

Yes. The Backspace key remains fully functional during the test window. You can backspace through your text block to mend an old typo as long as you are mindful of your countdown clock.

How does manual scrolling work during the screen-to-screen mode?

The passage window displays a few lines at a time. Once your active line hits the bottom boundary of the display panel, you must interact with your mouse scroll wheel or use keyboard arrow keys to slide the content row down manually.

Which explicit Hindi keyboard setups are supported at the testing terminals?

Hindi candidates are provided access to two software environments:

Can I use system shortcuts to insert complex alternate characters in Hindi?

Yes, standard ALT-code combinations are allowed when using legacy Kruti Dev layouts. However, if your terminal is running Mangal via InScript, the characters are phonetically grouped, entirely replacing the need for traditional typewriter key shortcuts.

What should I do if a key feels sticky or sluggish when I sit down?

As per official instructions, you are required to verify the responsiveness of your keyboard, mouse, and terminal panel prior to the official start of the test window. If any equipment is faulty, flag it to the invigilator immediately; complaints regarding equipment will not be entertained once the "START TYPING" announcement sounds.
