The Junior Administrative Assistant (JAA) post under the AIIMS CRE requires excellent data entry skills. Because the job involves heavy documentation and administrative work, the typing test is a strict qualifying hurdle.
Here are the official typing test rules for the AIIMS Junior Admin post.
1. Key Depressions and Speed Target
AIIMS calculates speed based on KDPH (Key Depressions Per Hour) rather than traditional WPM counting.
- English Speed Requirement: 10,500 KDPH (which translates to 35 Words Per Minute).
- Hindi Speed Requirement: 9,000 KDPH (which translates to 30 Words Per Minute).
- Duration: 10 Minutes.
- Target Strokes: To qualify, you must successfully hit at least 1750 correct keystrokes in 10 minutes for English, or 1500 correct keystrokes for Hindi.
2. Keyboard and Layout Options
- English: Standard QWERTY layout.
- Hindi: Mangal Font with a choice between Remington Gail or Inscript keyboard layouts.
- Hardware: Standard membrane keyboards are used at test centers. Avoid practicing exclusively on flat laptop keyboards to ensure you are comfortable with deep key travel.
3. Backspace and Correction Rules
- Backspace Allowed: You are allowed to use the backspace key to correct errors.
- Arrow Keys: Left and Right arrow keys are usually disabled. You must use backspace to delete the word entirely to fix a mistake in the middle of it.
- Error Limit: The allowed error percentage varies by category but typically hovers around 5% to 7% for unreserved categories. Maintaining 95% accuracy is crucial.
