How Scoring Works

The typing test for Junior Clerk in Maharashtra District Courts is administered by the Bombay High Court on TCS iON computer terminals. It carries 40 marks (20 Marathi + 20 English) out of the 100-mark total selection process (40 CBT + 20 Marathi + 20 English + 20 Interview). Candidates face a strictly disabled backspace key. Scoring follows: Marks = 20 − (Total Mistakes ÷ 4). Candidates must score at least 10.00 marks in Marathi typing to even qualify for the English typing test. A maximum of 40 mistakes is permissible (40 errors = 10.00 marks); 41 errors yield 9.75 marks and immediate disqualification.

Practice Tips

  • ›Practice extensively with backspace disabled to overcome the natural reflex to hit backspace when making typos.
  • ›Accuracy is paramount: typing at 42 WPM with 20 errors earns 15.00 marks, which gives a decisive lead in the final merit rank.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is backspace allowed in Maharashtra District Court Junior Clerk typing?

No. Backspace, Delete, and arrow keys are strictly disabled on the TCS examination software. Once a key is pressed, it cannot be corrected or undone.

Can I appear for the English typing test if I score below 10 in Marathi?

No. The Bombay High Court enforces strict sequential elimination. Candidates must pass the Marathi typing test with at least 10.00 out of 20 marks to be permitted to appear for the English test.

Do typing test marks add to the final recruitment merit list?

Yes! Unlike qualifying-only exams, the 20 marks for Marathi and 20 marks for English add directly to the 40-mark CBT and 20-mark Interview for a total 100-mark merit list.
