About the UPSSSC typing test
UPSSSC conducts typing tests for clerical posts across Uttar Pradesh departments. Hindi is the primary medium – candidates typically need 25 wpm in Hindi and 30 wpm in English. Because most UP offices work in Hindi, strong Unicode Hindi typing is the deciding skill. Practise Hindi in Inscript or the built-in Remington Gail converter.

How the UPSSSC 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.
