1. Speed Calculation & Official Formula
The evaluation follows central government norms:
- Standard Word: 5 Keystrokes = 1 Word.
- Gross Speed (WPM):
Gross Speed = (Total Key Depressions Typed / 5 / 10 Minutes) - Net Speed (WPM):
Net Speed = Gross Speed - ((Mistakes Penalty / 10))
Candidates must achieve a minimum Net Speed of 35 WPM in English or 30 WPM in Hindi to be declared qualified.
