⌨️ Sarkari Exam Hindi Typing Test (1 Min)

Q: What is the typing speed requirement for SSC CHSL & CGL?

For SSC CHSL Data Entry Operator (DEO), the required speed is 35 words per minute (WPM) in English (approx. 10,500 key depressions per hour) and 30 WPM in Hindi with a minimum 95% accuracy rate.

Q: What is the difference between Gross WPM and Net WPM?

Gross WPM calculates the total number of words typed per minute including mistakes. Net WPM subtracts the errors from your gross speed: Net WPM = Gross WPM - (Errors / Minutes).

Q: How to convert Key Depressions Per Hour (KDPH) to Words Per Minute (WPM)?

By standard examination conventions, 1 word = 5 keystrokes (key depressions). Therefore: WPM = KDPH ÷ (5 × 60) = KDPH ÷ 300. For example, 10,500 KDPH = 35 WPM.

Gross vs Net WPM Calculation Formula

In official testing software, 5 character strokes (including spaces and punctuation) constitute one standardized word:

Gross WPM = (Total Typed Characters ÷ 5) ÷ Minutes

Net WPM = Gross WPM - (Total Error Words ÷ Minutes)

Accuracy % = (Correct Characters ÷ Total Characters) × 100
