What the official notice says

The LDC/JSA typing test appears as Part C of Section-IV in Tier-II. The 2025 notice describes the Skill Test/Typing Test as qualifying in nature and says errors are calculated to two decimal places.

Candidates select either English or Hindi as the typing-test medium in the application form. The notice says that choice is final. English candidates are expected to type at 35 WPM and Hindi candidates at 30 WPM, with speed judged from accurate computer entry of a supplied passage over 10 minutes.

A four-week preparation loop

Use your recent-session history to decide when to increase speed. A steady score across several days is more useful than one unusually fast attempt.

  1. Week 1
    Build clean rhythm

    Practise below the target speed. Prioritise posture, consistent spacing, punctuation, and accuracy.

  2. Week 2
    Approach the standard

    Alternate short warm-ups with 10-minute sessions. Review recurring letter combinations and difficult words.

  3. Week 3
    Hold target pace

    Aim to maintain the published speed without a late-session accuracy drop. Repeat the same duration consistently.

  4. Week 4
    Rehearse calmly

    Use full 10-minute sessions under quiet, test-like conditions. Avoid changing your keyboard setup at the last moment.

Common questions

Can I choose Hindi or English?

The 2025 notice allowed either medium, but required the choice in the application form and treated that choice as final.

Is 35 WPM required for Hindi too?

No. For LDC/JSA in the 2025 notice, the published standard was 35 WPM for English and 30 WPM for Hindi.

Does this guide cover the DEO skill test?

No. DEO posts use a separate data-entry skill-test scheme. Always read the relevant part of the official notice for the post you selected.

Is this page an official SSC resource?

No. TypeSarthi is an independent practice website. The official SSC notice linked below is the controlling source.
