About the High Court typing test
Delhi, Allahabad, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab & Haryana, Himachal and other High Courts recruit clerical staff through computer typing tests. Typical requirements are 30–40 wpm in English and 25–30 wpm in Hindi in 10 minutes, but every High Court has its own notice. Choose your language and duration on the start screen and set the minimum speed to the one in your advertisement.

How the High Court typing test is evaluated
Net words per minute
Gross speed = (key depressions ÷ 5) ÷ minutes for English, or actual words ÷ minutes for Hindi.
Net speed = gross speed − (mistakes ÷ minutes). Full mistakes count as 1 and half mistakes as ½.
You qualify when your net speed reaches the required speed and your error percentage stays within the notified limit.
Worked example: At 35 wpm for 10 minutes you need about 350 correct words. With a 5% error limit, that leaves room for roughly 17 full mistakes.
