HSSC Clerk typing test rules
- Typical speed 30 wpm English / 25 wpm Hindi (as notified).
- Duration usually 10 minutes.

How the HSSC Clerk 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 30 wpm for 10 minutes you need about 300 correct words. With a 5% error limit, that leaves room for roughly 15 full mistakes.
