1. Hindi Font Choice: Mangal vs KrutiDev 010
UPSSSC provides candidates the flexibility to choose their preferred Hindi typing system at the test terminal:
- Option A: KrutiDev 010 / DevLys 010: Remington typewriter layout on legacy ASCII font.
- Option B: Mangal Inscript: Standard Unicode layout.
- Option C: Mangal Remington (Gail): Typewriter layout mapped to Unicode script.
[!IMPORTANT] If a candidate types at 60 WPM in English but achieves 24.8 WPM in Hindi, they are declared FAILED in the entire recruitment. Never neglect your weaker typing language!
2. Speed Evaluation Formula (5-Minute Short Sprint)
Because the test is only 5 minutes long, even a minor freeze or keyboard jam can be disastrous:
Gross Words = (Total Keystrokes Typed / 5)
Net Speed (WPM) = (Gross Words - Mistakes Penalty / Time (5 Minutes))
- In a 5-minute test, every second counts. Candidates must type with immediate fluidity from second zero.
3. High-Scoring Routine for UPSSSC Aspirants
- Alternate Daily Practice: Spend 20 minutes on Hindi and 20 minutes on English every day.
- Practice 5-Minute High-Paced Drills: Focus on rapid start drills to overcome exam-hall nervous delays.
- Practice UPSSSC simulated passages on TypingWire.in.
