UPSSSC Typing Posts Overview
UPSSSC (Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission) conducts typing tests for various posts. The most common are:
Operational_Tactics
- — Junior Assistant: 30 WPM Hindi or 25 WPM English
- — UPSSSC Assistant/Stenographer: 80 WPM shorthand + 40 WPM transcription
- — Test Duration: 10 minutes for most posts
- — Font: Mangal Unicode (Inscript) for Hindi — enforced across all UPSSSC tests
- — Interface: NIC-based interface — similar to Railway NIC typing platform
UPSSSC Error Calculation Method
UPSSSC follows a specific error marking methodology:
Operational_Tactics
- — Each correctly typed word = 1 word credit
- — Wrong, missing, or extra words are NOT credited
- — Net typed words must equal or exceed WPM threshold × test duration
- — No half-mistake system (unlike High Courts) — a word is either right or wrong
- — Backspace is allowed but corrected words still need to be typed correctly
UPSSSC is more generous than HC exams on error calculation — but do not get complacent; accuracy still matters greatly.
