ISRO Assistant UDC English Typing Test

About This Exam

The ISRO Assistant/UDC recruitment process includes a written examination followed by a skill test on computer. For Assistant and UDC posts, the skill test is designed to check practical computer knowledge and office software handling rather than only basic typing. The official ISRO exam pattern shows a written test first, and then a separate skill test for shortlisted candidates.

Typing Test Pattern

For Assistant/UDC, the skill test is computer-based and lasts 60 minutes. The official scheme shows that the test covers MS Word, MS Excel, and MS PowerPoint, with marks distributed across these modules. So, instead of a plain English typing passage, candidates should prepare for office software tasks, formatting work, and computer-based productivity operations.

Speed Requirement

For ISRO Assistant/UDC, the official material emphasizes computer skill testing more than a separate English typing speed. In the same recruitment norms, a minimum speed of 60 W.P.M. in English stenography is mentioned for some other posts, but Assistant/UDC candidates should focus on the listed computer skill test requirements. Always check the post-specific notification for the exact rule.

Gross Typing Speed (WPM)
