Rajasthan High Court LDC Efficiency Test: MS Word & Excel CPT Rules, 50-Mark Pattern & Free Mock Test


The Rajasthan High Court LDC (Lower Division Clerk) recruitment includes a critical Computer Test in Phase II. This computer test has two papers — a Speed Test (25 marks) and an Efficiency Test (50 marks). The efficiency test is the highest-scoring section of the entire computer test, and most candidates lose marks here due to lack of practical MS Word and Excel knowledge.

This guide covers everything you need to know — from the exact rules and syllabus to how you can practice free mock tests online.


1. Efficiency Test Pattern & Marks Distribution

The Rajasthan High Court LDC Computer Test is structured as follows:

PaperDescriptionDurationMarks
Paper ISpeed Test (Typing)10 Minutes25
Paper IIEfficiency Test (MS Word & Excel)10 Minutes50
  • Total Computer Test Marks: 75 marks (25 Speed + 50 Efficiency)
  • Duration for Efficiency Test: 10 minutes
  • Software: MS Office 2007/2010 interface
  • Backspace: Freely allowed in the efficiency test section
  • Qualifying: You must score minimum qualifying marks in each section separately

The efficiency test alone is 50 marks — this is double the speed test. Focusing on this section can significantly boost your overall score.


2. MS Word Efficiency Test Syllabus

The MS Word portion carries the majority of marks. You will receive on-screen text with specific formatting instructions. Common tasks include:

  • Paragraph Adjustments: Alignment (left, right, center, justify), line spacing (single, 1.5, double, “At least” with specific point size like 17pt), indentation, first-line indent, and paragraph spacing (before/after)
  • Headers and Footers: Inserting headers and footers with page numbers, date, custom text, or different first page settings
  • Table Creation & Bordering: Creating tables with specified rows and columns, applying specific border styles (box, all, grid), cell shading, and merging/splitting cells
  • Font Changes: Changing font style (Calibri, Times New Roman, Arial), size, color, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, highlighting, and Emboss/Engrave effects
  • Find and Replace: Using Ctrl+H to locate specific text and replace it with another — one of the most commonly asked tasks
  • Page Layout: Page orientation (portrait/landscape), margins (top, bottom, left, right, gutter margin), columns, and page size
  • Document Views: Switching between Print Layout, Web Layout, Outline view
  • Insert Elements: Horizontal lines, page breaks, symbols, shapes, and watermarks
  • Change Case: Toggle between UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case using Shift+F3 or Format menu

3. MS Excel Efficiency Test Syllabus

The Excel section tests your spreadsheet handling skills:

  • Data Entry & Cell Formatting: Entering data accurately, applying font styles, cell borders (thin, thick, double), fill colors, and number formatting (currency ₹, percentage %, decimals)
  • Formulas & Functions: SUM, AVERAGE, MIN, MAX, COUNT, COUNTA, and IF functions — know the exact syntax like =SUM(A1:A10)
  • Sorting & Filtering: Sorting data in ascending/descending order, applying auto-filter to specific columns
  • Cell Alignment & Merging: Horizontal alignment (left, center, right), vertical alignment (top, middle, bottom), merge & center, and wrap text
  • Page Setup: Setting print area, adjusting margins, page orientation, gridline visibility, and adding headers/footers for printing

5. Important Rules & Preparation Tips

  • 50 Marks = Biggest Opportunity: The efficiency test alone carries 50 marks out of 75 total computer test marks. Master this section to maximize your score.
  • Accuracy Over Speed: Follow formatting instructions exactly — one wrong border style, incorrect spacing, or missed alignment costs marks.
  • Master Keyboard Shortcuts: These save crucial time in the 10-minute window:
    • Ctrl+B → Bold | Ctrl+I → Italic | Ctrl+U → Underline
    • Ctrl+E → Center | Ctrl+L → Left | Ctrl+R → Right | Ctrl+J → Justify
    • Ctrl+H → Find & Replace | Ctrl+Enter → Page Break
    • Ctrl+1 → Single spacing | Ctrl+5 → 1.5 spacing | Ctrl+2 → Double spacing
  • Hindi Font: For Hindi formatting tasks, Kruti Dev 010 is used. For English, standard Calibri font.
  • Practice on MS Office 2007/2010: The exam uses these older versions — the ribbon menu layout is different from Office 2016/2019/365.
