Why this test matters
Indian government typing exams are unusual in two ways: they typically use the 10-minute format (rather than the 1- or 5-minute formats common elsewhere), and they often allow Hindi (Mangal/Krutidev) as well as English. Speed thresholds vary by role: SSC CHSL English typing requires 35 WPM; Hindi requires 30 WPM in Devanagari. SSC CGL Auditor and similar specialized roles require 8,000 key depressions per hour (roughly 27 WPM). Court typing (HC stenographers, district court typists) typically requires 40 WPM in English with 95%+ accuracy over 10 minutes. The test below defaults to 10-minute mode — the right format for SSC prep. Hindi typing with Mangal layout support ships in v2.
