1. Official 50-Mark Scoring & Penalty Math
In Allahabad High Court Group C, high marks in typing separate the top rankers from the rest:
Hindi Score (Out of 25) = 25 - (Total Errors × 0.25)
English Score (Out of 25) = 25 - (Total Errors × 0.25)
Error Deductions:
- Each Full Error (Word Omission, Word Substitution): Deducts 0.25 to 0.50 marks.
- Each Half Error (Spelling typo, punctuation mistake): Deducts 0.125 to 0.25 marks.
- If your net speed falls below 25 WPM in Hindi or 30 WPM in English, you are disqualified regardless of your written examination score!
2. Examination Flow on Test Day
