software. The Computer Screen will be divided in two parts and having Dual
Window, one at the above half portion is for source content (Typing Matter) and

will be a built-in and visible Clock showing the countdown for 15 minutes on
the screen for each candidate.

will be done by software while typing is in progress and taking into account
both his/her Speed and Accuracy.
b. Candidate has to take care of
Synchronized Typing between content (Typing Matter) highlighted at the above
half portion of source window (Typing Matter) and corresponding position of
cursor being typed at the bottom half portion of window. Content typed, out of
synchronization are reckoned as Errors.
c. While doing typing, If a candidate

for typed text, mistakes done and will also have calculated Gross and Net
speed. This sheet shall be signed by the candidate as well as by the
invigilator. These values are calculated as follows:

strokes entered
B. Error hits strokes = Number of words
incorrectly typed X 5 (1 word= 5 Key Strokes)
C. Net Strokes = A - B
D. Net
Speed in Words Per Minutes (WPM) =(C ÷ 5) ÷ 15 i.e. Time of test in Minutes

This Net Speed is the “Result” of the
ENGLISH/ HINDI Typing Test and minimum Net Speed of 30 WPM for English and 25
WPM for Hindi is equivalent to the 40 Marks out of 100 maximum marks.
