SSC CHSL (LDC/JSA) and several SSC CGL posts require a qualifying typing test — typically 10 minutes at a minimum speed of 10,500 KDPH (about 35 WPM) in English, with a 5% error tolerance. If you don't meet the speed or accuracy threshold, you're disqualified regardless of your written exam score. Practising under realistic conditions — fixed time, no backspace, no error highlighting — is the only reliable way to build the muscle memory and rhythm the test demands.
This tutor replicates the split-screen format you'll see in the real exam: the passage on top, your typing box below, a countdown timer, and a live WPM and accuracy readout. The Exam Mode settings (backspace disabled, errors hidden) match what SSC actually enforces, so there are no surprises on test day.
Before you invest time in typing practice, make sure you meet the age and eligibility criteria — check with the Age Calculator. Once your application is ready, use the Photo Editor to prepare your exam photo and signature.

KDPH = keystrokes per depression per hour. The test is qualifying in nature — confirm details in the official notification.
SSC CHSL LDC/JSA requires a minimum of 10,500 KDPH, which is roughly 35 WPM in English. You also need to stay within the 5% error tolerance — speed alone isn't enough; accuracy matters equally.
Some exam conditions restrict or penalise backspace use. Practising with backspace disabled builds the forward-typing discipline the real test rewards. Use Enabled mode while learning, then switch to Disabled for exam simulation.
Gross WPM counts every keystroke divided by time. Net WPM subtracts errors, so it reflects your effective speed. Exams typically look at net speed after applying the error tolerance.
The current passages are in English. Hindi typing practice requires a Hindi keyboard layout (Devanagari Inscript) and Hindi passages, which we're working to add.
Realistic typing practice needs a physical keyboard. On-screen phone keyboards don't build the same speed or accuracy, and the exam itself is on a desktop. You can dismiss the warning on mobile, but a laptop or desktop is strongly recommended.
With consistent practice, 35 WPM at 95%+ accuracy is achievable for most candidates. The key is daily practice under exam-like conditions — fixed time, no backspace, and reading from the screen rather than memorising.
