The RRB NTPC typing test in Hindi

Candidates for the Railway typist posts (Junior Clerk cum Typist, Accounts Clerk cum Typist, Senior Clerk cum Typist and Junior Accounts Assistant cum Typist) can take the Computer Based Typing Skill Test in Hindi instead of English, if they choose Hindi when they apply. In Hindi the requirement is 25 words per minute over ten minutes, and a transcript of fewer than 250 words is not marked. The test is qualifying only.

The rules in the notices

• Time: a one-minute warm-up, a short break, then ten marked minutes.
• No editing: no editing tools and no spell check. Practise with Backspace turned off.
• Mistakes: up to 5% of the words typed are forgiven; each further one takes off ten words: (words − 10 × mistakes) ÷ 10.
• Fonts: the notices say Kruti Dev and Mangal are provided. They do not name the keyboard layout, so check the instructions for your test and practise the layout you will use there.
• Finished early? You may type the passage again from the beginning.

Which keyboard to practise

Kruti Dev is a font typed with the Remington layout; Mangal shows Unicode text, typed with Remington GAIL or Inscript. Both Remington and Inscript are built into this site: keep your computer's keyboard on English and the mock test turns your key presses into Hindi, so you can practise without installing anything. On Remington, speed counts key depressions, the way typing tests count them.

How to practise

The RRB penalty makes accuracy the deciding factor: a mistake beyond the allowance costs a whole word per minute. Get comfortable with the ि and reph order on Remington, or the vowel signs on Inscript, before pushing speed, and aim for about 30 WPM with very few mistakes. The mock test scores you the RRB way and shows each mistake word by word, so you can see which letters and conjuncts trip you up.

A worked example

A word here is five key depressions, so 333 words is 1,665 key depressions. Say you type 333 words in the 10 minutes and make 26 mistakes:

• Mistakes up to 5% of the words typed are forgiven: 5% of 333 is 16, so 10 mistakes count.
• Each counted mistake takes off ten words: (333 − 10 × 10) ÷ 10 = 23.3 WPM.

That falls short of 25 WPM. With 36 mistakes the same typing gives 13.3 WPM: every mistake beyond the allowance costs a whole word per minute, so accuracy matters far more here than in the SSC test. And at fewer than 250 words the typing is not marked at all.

How the mock test is scored

As in the RRB notices: words are five key depressions; mistakes up to 5% of the words typed are forgiven, and each further mistake takes off ten words over the ten minutes, so net speed = (words − 10 × mistakes) ÷ 10. Typing is not marked below 250 words. Backspace starts turned off, because the test allows no editing, and a finished passage starts again from the beginning. Each wrong, missing or extra word counts as a full mistake here; the official test counts some (such as spacing) as half mistakes, so your real result may be a little better. 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.
