UPSSSC Typing Test Practice
The UPSSSC Junior Assistant skill test is short but strict. Practise a 5-minute run and learn how mistakes are usually penalised.
UPSSSC typing test at a glance
The typing test for UPSSSC Junior Assistant posts is held separately for Hindi and English. Sources agree on the speeds and mostly agree on a short duration.
| What | Commonly quoted |
|---|---|
| Speed | 30 WPM in English and 25 WPM in Hindi |
| Duration | 5 minutes for each language (Physics Wallah and India Typing); a 10-minute figure appears only on a practice site |
| Errors | One source says up to 5 errors are allowed, then 5 words are cut for each further error |
| Hindi | Mangal (with Inscript) or Kruti Dev 010 (typewriter / Remington layout) according to one source |
| Outliers | One table lists 35 WPM for Hindi in one cycle - treat as an outlier |
Key depressions per hour (KDPH) are simply WPM x 5 x 60: 30 WPM = 9,000 KDPH (English), 25 WPM = 7,500 KDPH (Hindi).
How the test is evaluated
UPSSSC changes details between recruitments (and the test is qualifying). Read the typing test notice published for your cycle on upsssc.gov.in.
- Speed is the net speed after errors are accounted for.
- The "5 errors allowed, then 5 words per error" rule comes from one third-party source - confirm it in the notice.
- With only 5 minutes, one bad start costs a lot: warm up on a 30 second test before you begin.
Hindi typing, fonts and layouts
The Hindi typing test on this site has Inscript, Remington GAIL and Kruti Dev 010 built in. Check which layout your board names in the notification and choose the same one under "Hindi keyboard"; see our guide Inscript vs Remington vs Kruti Dev. For exam-style practice use the Hindi typing exam practice.
- One source says candidates may type Hindi in Mangal (Inscript layout) or Kruti Dev 010 (typewriter/Remington layout).
- This site practises Unicode Inscript for Hindi; for Kruti Dev / Remington use a tool that supports it.
How to prepare for the UPSSSC typing test
- Learn the keys with the lessons, then reach 30 WPM in English.
- Daily: a 5 minute typing test plus a strict run on this page.
- Count your mistakes: keep them under 5 per run so that no penalty applies.
- Practise Hindi on the 5 minute Hindi typing test.
What this practice page does and does not do
- It runs a strict 5-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 30 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.
