Dsssb Stenographer Typing Test: Rules, Speed & Details


Cracking the Dsssb Stenographer requires not just academic knowledge, but also lightning-fast typing skills. Below is a detailed explanation of the official typing test rules, speed benchmarks, and keyboard layouts.


1. Official Speed Criteria

To qualify for the post, you need to maintain an English speed of 35 WPM or a Hindi speed of 30 WPM. The evaluation strictly measures your net speed over a duration of 10 mins.


2. Font Specifications (Mangal/Remington)

For English typing, the standard QWERTY keyboard is used. However, for Hindi typing, candidates must use the Mangal Font. You will generally have the option to select either the Remington Gail or Inscript layout.


3. Backspace and Marking Rules

Can you use backspace? Yes, backspace is generally permitted during the test. But beware: every spelling mistake, omission, or punctuation error is counted as a mistake and deducts from your net WPM.
