Detailed Answer
In India, Staff Selection Commission (SSC) exams (e.g., CHSL, CGL, CPO) have typing tests: 35 WPM for English (35 words per minute) or 30 WPM for Hindi, with 97% accuracy. The test lasts 10 minutes for English (3500 characters) and 15 minutes for Hindi (3000 characters). This is net speed – errors reduce effective speed. Many candidates practice to reach 40–45 WPM to have a buffer. The keyboard layout is QWERTY for English and InScript for Hindi. Use SSC-specific practice software with official paragraphs. Don't confuse with IBPS or bank exams which have different requirements.
