Delhi High Court typing test at a glance
Most sources describe an English computer typing test for the Junior Judicial Assistant (JJA) and similar clerical posts of the Delhi High Court. The details below come mainly from preparation sites; the High Court's own notification is the authority.
| What | Commonly quoted |
|---|---|
| Speed | 35 WPM in English (commonly quoted) |
| Duration | 10 minutes (commonly quoted) |
| Error limit | One 2026 summary mentions a 3% maximum error rate - not found in an official document |
| Passage | Printed or on-screen English passage typed as given |
| Posts | Junior Judicial Assistant / Restorer and similar clerical posts |
Key depressions per hour (KDPH) are simply WPM x 5 x 60: 35 WPM = 10,500 KDPH (English).
How the test is evaluated
Court notifications differ from year to year (and between posts such as JJA and Court Master). Read the current notification on delhihighcourt.nic.in before you rely on any number.
- The typed text is compared with the passage and mistakes are counted; most sources quote a limit on the percentage of mistakes.
- We found no source that states a separate reading time before the clock starts. A High Court notice on a different, dictation-based test says no extra time is given for reading - do not assume extra time here.
- Spacing, capital letters and punctuation usually count as part of the passage.
Language and layout
- The test is described as English typing on a computer.
- Use the same type of keyboard you will be tested on - a laptop keyboard feels very different from a full-size one.
How to prepare for the Delhi High Court typing test
- Weeks 1-2: finish the touch typing lessons; accuracy first.
- Weeks 2-3: daily 10 minute typing tests; watch the speed graph for the minute where you slow down.
- Week 4: strict runs on this page with backspace off; aim for 38-40 WPM in practice so that exam-day nerves leave a margin.
- Practise punctuation and capitals with the punctuation typing test.
What this practice page does and does not do
- It runs a strict 10-minute test with backspace switched off, like most government typing tests.
- The result shows key depressions, wrong words, gross and net speed and checks your net speed against the 35 WPM target used for this page.
- It is an independent practice tool. The real exam software, passage, font and error rules are the board's own.
- Typing text is built from general English sentences, not from past papers.
