About the PSSSB Clerk typing test
Punjab clerical recruitment requires typing in both English and Punjabi (Gurmukhi), generally at 30 wpm each. TypingPrep includes English passages; for Punjabi, add your own Gurmukhi passages in “My Paragraphs” and type with your computer’s Punjabi (Raavi / Inscript) keyboard – the simulator evaluates any Unicode language.

PSSSB Clerk typing test rules
- English 30 wpm and Punjabi 30 wpm (as notified).
- Typing test is qualifying.
Always check the latest notification. Recruiting bodies revise speed, duration and error rules from time to time. Information here was last reviewed on 18 October 2026. Official website: sssb.punjab.gov.in. You can change the required speed and error limit in the simulator’s Advanced options.
How the PSSSB 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.
