About the JKSSB Junior Assistant typing test
JKSSB conducts the typing test for Junior Assistant posts in J&K government departments after the written exam. The test has been conducted using a TypingMaster-style desktop application: a window with the passage on top, the current word highlighted, a typing box below, and a side panel with the timer. Most recent notices require 35 wpm in English, typically for 10 minutes, with high accuracy. This simulator recreates that desktop-application look so the real test feels familiar.

How the JKSSB Junior Assistant 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 10% error limit, that leaves room for roughly 35 full mistakes.
