Detailed Answer
Indian government (SSC): 35 WPM English, 30 WPM Hindi (net). State level (e.g., MP, Rajasthan): often 30 WPM English, 25 WPM Hindi. Bank exams (IBPS, SBI) typically require 40 WPM for clerical posts. US government (USPS, IRS): 40–45 WPM. UK civil service: 50–60 WPM depending on grade. Always check the specific notification, as speeds may vary by year and category (e.g., reserved categories often have 5 WPM less). Note: required speed is net WPM after error penalties. Many aspirants practice to 10–15 WPM above the minimum to account for test anxiety.
