How Scoring Works

Shri Krishna AYUSH University (SKAU), Kurukshetra conducts the Computer Typing Skill Test for Clerk recruitment in Phase-1. Candidates must achieve a minimum qualifying speed of 30 Net WPM over a 10-minute session. Beyond the 30 NWPM qualifying gate, candidate typing performance directly contributes to statutory recruitment merit out of 15.00 marks using the official formula: Merit Marks = (Net WPM − 30) × 0.5. For example, typing at 40 Net WPM scores 5.00 marks, 50 Net WPM scores 10.00 marks, and 60 Net WPM or above achieves the maximum 15.00 marks. Candidates typing below 30 Net WPM fail the qualifying gate and receive 0 marks.

Practice Tips

  • ›Target a raw speed of 35–40 WPM in practice so that mistake deductions do not drop your net speed below the 30 NWPM qualifying gate.
  • ›Because spacebar locks the previous word, verify spelling accuracy before hitting the spacebar key.
  • ›Push beyond 30 NWPM: each additional 2 WPM above 30 earns 1 full extra mark out of 15 towards your final recruitment merit score.
