How Scoring Works

The Bombay High Court Clerk Computer Proficiency Test (CPT) evaluates typing on a 20-mark scale. There is no minimum accuracy percentage requirement. Instead, every 4 typing mistakes result in a 1-mark deduction from the base 20 marks. Candidates must first meet the qualifying speed of 40 WPM, then score at least 10 out of 20 marks to advance to the Viva Voce stage. Since the typing marks are added directly to the final merit list (alongside Screening Test and Viva scores), scoring closer to 20/20 provides a significant advantage in the final selection.

Practice Tips

  • ›Since backspace is unrestricted, strategically correct high-value errors (especially at the start of words) without hesitating — but don't lose time over single-character slips late in a word.
  • ›Target 18–20 out of 20 marks in practice, not just the qualifying 10. In a competitive merit list of 150 marks, every typing mark matters.
  • ›Practice in paper-to-screen format: print out a passage and type from the physical paper, not from your screen. This builds the neck-and-eye coordination that the actual exam requires.
  • ›A candidate typing at 55 WPM with 5 mistakes scores 18.75/20. A candidate at 45 WPM with 30 mistakes scores only 12.5/20. Speed without accuracy is wasteful.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum accuracy required for Bombay High Court Clerk typing test?

There is no minimum accuracy percentage required. The Bombay High Court uses a pure penalty system: for every 4 mistakes made, 1 mark is deducted from the base score of 20. You need a minimum final score of 10 out of 20 marks to qualify. There is no separate 90% or 95% accuracy gate.

Is backspace allowed in Bombay High Court Clerk CPT?

Yes, backspace is fully and freely allowed at all times during the Bombay High Court Clerk typing test. Unlike SSC or RRB exams which restrict backspace, the BHC CPT is an unrestricted typing test — you can correct any mistake at any point during the 10-minute session.

How is the Bombay High Court Clerk typing score calculated?

The score is calculated using the formula: Final Marks = 20 − (Total Mistakes ÷ 4). For example, 20 mistakes results in a deduction of 5 marks, giving a score of 15/20. A score of 10/20 or higher is needed to qualify for the Viva Voce round. These marks are added to the final merit list.

What is the total marks weightage of the typing test?

The typing test carries 20 marks out of the 150 total marks in the Bombay High Court Clerk selection process (Screening Test: 90 marks + Typing Test: 20 marks + Viva Voce: 40 marks). Final selection is merit-based on this combined score.
