About the test

Office Assistant cum Computer Typist (অফিস সহকারী কাম কম্পিউটার মুদ্রাক্ষরিক) is one of the most common entry-level posts in Bangladesh government offices, ministries and directorates. Recruitment rules and most circulars ask for a computer typing speed of at least 20 words per minute in Bangla and 20 in English. The practical typing test usually comes after the written exam, and the length of the test, the passage and the scoring are set by each office.

This mock test uses a Bangla passage and a 5-minute timer, scored like an exam: whole-word mistakes, gross and net speed, and a word-by-word review.

Bijoy or Unicode?

Ask before you practise. Many offices still give candidates Bijoy with SutonnyMJ fonts; others use Unicode layouts such as Jatiya or Avro. The layouts put letters on different keys, so practising on the wrong one does not transfer well.

• This site has the Jatiya layout built in: keep your computer keyboard on English and type Bangla straight away.
• If you use Bijoy or Avro on your computer, choose “My keyboard” and type with your own software. Speed is measured the same way.

For the differences between the layouts, see Bangla typing keyboards compared.

Where candidates lose marks

• Conjuncts (যুক্তবর্ণ). Words like ক্ষমতা, প্রশাসন and মন্ত্রণালয় slow most people down. Practise common official words until they flow.
• Vowel signs and hasanta. A wrong কার or a missing hasanta makes the whole word a mistake.
• ড়, ঢ়, য় and ৎ. These are easy to confuse with ড, ঢ, য and ত. Learn exactly which keys they are on.
• Switching languages. If the test has both Bangla and English parts, know how to switch your keyboard quickly.

How to prepare

1. Learn every key of your layout without looking, with the Bangla lessons if you use Jatiya.
2. Reach 25 WPM on short tests with 96% accuracy.
3. Practise full passages of official-style Bangla, with Backspace on and off.
4. Prepare the English part too: the English mock test uses the same scoring.

সংক্ষেপে

অফিস সহকারী কাম কম্পিউটার মুদ্রাক্ষরিক পদের ব্যবহারিক পরীক্ষায় সাধারণত বাংলায় প্রতি মিনিটে কমপক্ষে ২০ শব্দ এবং ইংরেজিতে ২০ শব্দ গতি চাওয়া হয়। পরীক্ষার সময়, অনুচ্ছেদ আর সফটওয়্যার (বিজয় না ইউনিকোড) দপ্তরভেদে আলাদা, তাই বিজ্ঞপ্তি ভালো করে পড়ুন। এখানে জাতীয় কিবোর্ডে বা নিজের সফটওয়্যারে পাঁচ মিনিটের মক টেস্ট দিন; প্রতিটি ভুল শব্দ আলাদা করে দেখানো হয়।

A worked example

To reach 20 WPM in 5 minutes you need about 500 key depressions of correct work. Say you type 550 key depressions and make 3 mistakes:

• Gross speed: 550 ÷ 5 ÷ 5 = 22 WPM (6,600 key depressions per hour).
• Net speed: (110 − 3) ÷ 5 = 21.4 WPM (6,420 key depressions per hour).

That passes. With 9 mistakes instead, the same typing would give 20.2 WPM, still a pass but with almost no margin. Accuracy moves your result as much as speed does. Work out your own numbers with the KDPH calculator.

How the mock test is scored

Your typed words are matched to the passage in order, so one missed word does not make the rest wrong. Each wrong, missing or extra word is one mistake. Gross speed counts key depressions you typed (five per word); net speed takes off one word per mistake. You get a word-by-word review of every mistake.

Three mock tests a day are free. Exam rules change between notices: always check the official notice for your post. See typing speed for government jobs for the requirements we track and their sources.
