PROBLEM KEYS
What speed do you need for SSC typing tests?
| Exam | Post | Requirement | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| SSC CHSL | LDC / JSA | 35 WPM English (or 30 WPM Hindi) | 10 minutes |
| SSC CHSL | DEO | 8,000 key depressions per hour | 15 minutes |
| SSC CGL | DEST | 2,000 key depressions in 15 min (~27 WPM) | 15 minutes |
The typing test is qualifying in nature — you don't get extra marks for typing faster, but you must clear the minimum speed to get the post. Speeds are measured in net words per minute (NWPM): gross speed minus errors, where one word = 5 key depressions.
