Bihar Vidhan Sabha LDC Hindi Typing Test

About This Exam

The LDC Hindi typing test is a post-qualified skill check held after the written exam or pre-qualification stage. It is typically conducted on a computer using a fixed font (often Kruti Dev or a government-specified font) and standard typing software. The exam is qualifying in nature: failing the skill test leads to disqualification even if the written score is good. The test verifies both raw speed (words per minute) and accuracy (error percentage), so steady, error-free typing matters as much as speed.

Typing Test Pattern

Test medium: Computer-based typing; Hindi passage presented on-screen.

Duration: Usually 10 minutes for the Hindi typing test (exact timings may vary by notification).

Passage length: Candidates type a paragraph or multiple short paragraphs (common length ranges 50–150 words).

Font and layout: Government tests often use Kruti Dev (or a specified Hindi font) and require typing with the spacebar behavior and punctuation as shown.

Additional stages: For some recruitments, English typing and MS Word formatting tests or key-depression tests for DEO may be included as separate stages.

Speed Requirement

Typical minimum speed: 30 words per minute (WPM) in Hindi for LDC posts.

Accuracy requirement: Small error margin allowed; many notices require high accuracy (examples seen: maximum 1.5%–6% error tolerance depending on the specific notification).

DEO vs LDC: DEO may require a different metric (for DEO some notices specify key-depressions per hour such as 8000 KPH) while LDC focuses on WPM. Confirm the exact figure in the official advertisement.

Result & Scoring

The skill test is usually qualifying — you either pass or fail based on speed/accuracy thresholds.

Errors are calculated as percentage of total characters/words; exceeding the permissible error percentage can disqualify the candidate.

Some exams apply a penalty or strict disqualification rule for errors above the limit (e.g., immediate disqualification for error % beyond specified limit).

Official scorecards or qualifying lists are published after evaluation; dates and cutoffs (if any) are published on the recruiting authority’s website.

Preparation Tips

Daily timed practice: Set a daily 20–30 minute timed typing session in Hindi focusing on accuracy first, then gradually increase speed.

Learn the keyboard layout: If you’re using Kruti Dev or Inscript layout, practice on that layout until finger positions become automatic.

Use exam-style passages: Practice typing letters, applications, and short essays (50–150 words) because test passages often mirror these formats.

Accuracy drills: Do focused accuracy drills (typing slowly with zero mistakes) for 10–15 minutes, then increase tempo while maintaining low errors.

Mock tests: Simulate the actual test environment — same font, no back-and-forth editing, and the same time limit. Time pressure helps build stamina.

Proofreading habit: Train to glance for common typos (matras, halant, anusvara) before submitting. Small systematic errors add to error percentage.

Ergonomics and settings: Use a comfortable keyboard, adjust screen and font size to match the test environment, and ensure the keyboard layout and input method are correctly set before the test
