India Typing Exam Mock Test (English & Hindi)

About the India Typing Exam Mock Test (English & Hindi)

Sit a whole typing test, not a one-minute speed check: the clock your exam gives you, a passage long enough to fill it, and a report that tells you whether you would have met the required speed. English and Hindi, with the Remington (GAIL) and InScript keyboards working on this page so you can practise on any computer, and a data-entry mode that counts key depressions instead of words.

Each preset starts from the rules on the exam’s own website, and every value stays editable — time, required speed, the unit it is measured in and the error allowance — because exams change their notices and only the notice or admit card in front of you is authoritative. For a court, railway or state-commission test, use From my exam notice and put its own figures in.

The report names each mistake by kind: capitals, punctuation, digits, a spelling slip, a wrong word, a skipped word or an extra word. A skipped or extra word is the expensive one — it shifts every word after it, so the rest of the passage counts as wrong.

Common uses

• Sitting a full-length rehearsal before a typing or data-entry skill test instead of a one-minute speed check.
• Finding out which kind of mistake costs you the most marks, and what to practise next.
• Practising Hindi typing in Remington (GAIL) or InScript on a computer that has no Hindi keyboard installed.
• Running the exact rules of a court, railway or state-commission notice by entering its own time, speed and error allowance.
• Keeping a record of your attempts so you can see whether your speed is really rising.

What each preset follows — and what you must check yourself

• CPCT (Madhya Pradesh) — cpct.mp.gov.in publishes the Remington (GAIL) and InScript layouts for Hindi typing and assesses each typing section as gross words a minute, net words a minute and accuracy, with the net speed on the score card. Its exam-duration sheet gives each typing test 15 minutes, and 20 minutes for differently abled candidates. Its score card maps the net speed to a percentage: Hindi from 20–25 words a minute (50%) up to 51 and above (100%), English from 30–40 (50%) up to 81 and above (100%) — so the Hindi preset starts at 20 and the English one at 30. CPCT’s own score card calls that matrix the minimum and says departments may ask for a higher score or speed. CPCT is required for data-entry, IT-operator, Assistant Grade-3, steno and typist posts in Madhya Pradesh. Its site also says the physical keyboards at centres differ with stock and that candidates must confirm their timings on the admit card — so confirm the time and the target here too.
• SSC-style skill test (LDC/JSA) — the Commission’s Combined Higher Secondary Level notice (ssc.gov.in) asks Lower Division Clerk and Junior Secretariat Assistant candidates for 35 words a minute in English or 30 in Hindi, and states that these “correspond to about 10500 key depressions per hour and about 9000 key depressions per hour respectively”. The passage is typed in 10 minutes, with 5 minutes more for candidates entitled to a scribe, and Hindi must be typed in the Mangal font. Read your own notice: the Commission can change these numbers and it evaluates the real test under its own guidelines.
• Data-entry speed test — a table of figures scored in key depressions an hour. The same notice sets a Data Entry Speed of 8,000 key depressions an hour for Data Entry Operator and Grade ‘A’ posts, and 15,000 for those of one named Department, both judged on a 15-minute passage; the Combined Graduate Level notice sets a 15-minute test of about 2,000 key depressions. 8,000 is filled in as the commoner figure — your own notice is the one to follow.
• From my exam notice — nothing assumed. Put in the time, the speed, the unit and the error allowance from the notice or admit card in front of you. Use this for court, railway, high-court, police and state-commission tests.

No preset here claims to be the official software of any exam, and none invents a figure: every number above is quoted from the exam’s own notice or score card, and where a rule could not be read the field is empty and asks you for it.

How the speed is worked out

Words are compared one by one in order, split at spaces, exactly as the Hindi Typing Test does it. An extra or a missing space shifts every later word, which is why a skipped word is marked as one.

• Counting words (CPCT’s assessment): gross words a minute = words typed ÷ minutes; net words a minute = correctly typed words ÷ minutes; accuracy = net × 100 ÷ gross.
• Counting key depressions (the five-key-depressions-a-word rule SSC’s notice uses, and every data-entry test): a word is 5 key depressions, so words a minute = key depressions ÷ 5 ÷ minutes, and key depressions an hour = key depressions a minute × 60. A key depression here is one character of a correctly typed word, with one for the space after it. That is why 30 words a minute is quoted as about 9,000 key depressions an hour.
• Errors are counted as a share of the words you typed, so finishing less of the passage does not flatter the figure.

The report shows both ways of counting for every attempt, whichever unit your preset uses, so you can compare it with any notice.

The error types, and what each one means

• Capital letters — the right letters in the wrong case. Use Shift rather than Caps Lock, and check the first word of each sentence.
• Punctuation — a missing full stop, comma, bracket or hyphen. They are characters like any other and cost the whole word.
• Digits — the letters are right and a figure is wrong. In a data-entry test this is the mistake that matters most.
• Spelling — one or two keys away from the right word, including two letters swapped. Usually a sign you are a few words a minute too fast.
• Wrong word — a different word altogether: you were reading the wrong line.
• Word skipped and extra word — these shift the whole passage, so everything after them is marked wrong. If you notice one, fix it at once with backspace rather than typing on.

Some exams switch backspace off; the test can do the same, so you can practise the harder way.

Hindi: Remington (GAIL) and InScript on this page

Both keyboards are emulated by the Hindi Typing Test engine, from the layout charts CPCT publishes, so the two tools behave identically: a half letter plus the ा key makes the full letter, Z adds the rakar and Shift+Z the reph, and the Remington order can be the typewriter one (ि before its letter, the reph after its syllable) or the phonetic one. Keep your computer on its English keyboard while you use them — a system Hindi input method would type over them. On a phone or tablet, choose My own Hindi keyboard and switch your keyboard to Hindi.

For Hindi the key map lights up the next key and the hint line spells out the keys for the word you are typing, which is the fastest way to learn Remington’s half letters.

The Hindi passages write their numbers in words (साढ़े बारह प्रतिशत, not 12.5). That is deliberate: Remington’s number row types Devanagari digits and InScript’s types 0–9, and neither layout has a colon, so a passage with 10:00 in it could not be finished on InScript at all. If you paste your own Hindi passage with digits in it, the test still accepts either digit form as correct — but the hint line will say the keys for such a word are not all on that keyboard.

Where this tool sits beside the other typing tools

The Hindi Typing Test and the Typing Speed Test are for everyday practice and a quick speed check. The Typing Tutor teaches the keys lesson by lesson. This tool is the rehearsal: your exam’s own rules, a full-length passage, the verdict and the report you can keep. The CBT Exam Simulator does the same for the objective paper on a computer screen.

Limitations

• Practice, not the official software: every exam runs its own test on its own computers and evaluates it under its own rules, which can differ in details such as how a word is counted.
• Only CPCT’s and SSC’s own pages were used for the figures that are filled in. Court, railway, high-court and state-commission tests differ by recruiting body, so their rules are not built in — put them in with From my exam notice.
• The Hindi passages have no digits or colons in them, because the two emulated keyboards type numbers differently and neither has a colon key. Your own pasted passage may have them; the hint line then says so for those words.
• The Remington (GAIL) and InScript keyboards on this page need a physical keyboard. On a phone or tablet, use your own Hindi keyboard instead.
• The passages are written for this tool and will not be the ones your exam uses; they are graded by how hard they are to type, not by a syllabus.
• Other sites and apps offer typing tests of their own, and on this site the Hindi Typing Test and the Typing Speed Test already cover everyday practice. This tool is for the full-length rehearsal and the report.
• Your attempts live in this browser only: clearing site data or switching device loses them.
