How Scoring Works

SSC Selection Post Phase examinations (Phase XII, Phase XIII) include typing skill tests and DEST for candidates shortlisted for clerical and data entry posts across Central Government ministries and directorates. Posts are divided by educational qualification (Matriculation, 10+2 Higher Secondary, and Graduation). Evaluation follows official SSC guidelines: Full Errors (omissions, substitutions, additions) penalize 1 word; Half Errors (spelling, capitalization, punctuation, spacing) penalize 0.5 words. Permissible errors are capped at 7% for UR and 10% for reserved categories.

Practice Tips

  • ›Pay strict attention to capitalization and punctuation; two half-mistakes equal one full word error in SSC valuation.
  • ›Complete the entire passage before time expires to avoid heavy penalties for untyped words.
