How Scoring Works

Under UKPSC statutory recruitment rules (conducted at Gyanodaya Computer Lab, Haridwar), candidates typing in English must achieve a net speed of 8,000 KDPH (~26.67 WPM). Up to 5% errors are exempted from penalty; each mistake beyond 5% deducts 5 key depressions from gross output. The test is qualifying in nature.

Practice Tips

  • ›Focus on keeping errors below 5% so that zero keystroke penalties are deducted from your gross output.
  • ›Maintain a steady pace above 28 WPM to provide a safe buffer over the 8,000 KDPH (~26.67 WPM) statutory cutoff.
