KVS Typing Test — Exam Overview
The Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) Typing Skill Test applies to the Junior Secretariat Assistant (JSA) post. In the 2025 cycle (KVS/NVS Recruitment Notification 01/2025, conducted by CBSE) the notice also includes a Computer Proficiency Test — check the notice for its details.
According to Corrigendum-2 dated 04-12-2025, the typing requirement for KVS JSA is 35 w.p.m. in English or 30 w.p.m. in Hindi on computer. The same corrigendum row covers Junior Assistant (NVS), so the 35/30 w.p.m. requirement applies to both posts.
How this exam differs
Corrigendum-2 (04-12-2025) puts KVS JSA and NVS Junior Assistant in one row: 35 WPM English or 30 WPM Hindi on computer. The 10-minute timer here is a practice setting; confirm the test duration and any trial time in your instructions.
Speed matches EPFO and AIIMS (35/30 WPM, 10,500/9,000 KDPH) but the employer is a school organisation. Passages are office-school English, not hospital or court text.
The skill test is qualifying for JSA posts; stenographer posts take a shorthand test instead. Extra WPM does not replace the written paper.

Understanding Your TypingHub Practice Report
Characters and words
- iCharacter comparison: Ordinary incorrect, extra or missing characters carry full weight in the practice analysis. A single misspelled word can contain several character errors.
- iCase and punctuation: Case-only substitutions and punctuation substitutions receive half weight. Added or omitted characters are counted separately.
- iSkipped or extra words: The report identifies missing and extra words as well as character differences. Read the highlighted passage to understand each mismatch.
Using the result
- iTwo accuracy measures: Character accuracy and word accuracy measure different things. A word counts as correct only when it matches the reference word.
- iPractice targets: A practice pass or fail is based on this test’s configured targets. It is not a recruiting authority’s qualification decision.
- iOfficial evaluation: Check the notice and evaluation instructions for your exact recruitment year, post and category. Do not convert this report into official examination marks.
Understanding Your Typing Practice Report
The arithmetic behind Gross WPM, Net WPM and key depressions. Your notice decides which of these it uses.
Gross WPM
Gross WPM = (total keystrokes ÷ 5) ÷ minutes. Letters, spaces and punctuation all count, and five keystrokes make one standard word.
Net WPM
Net WPM subtracts a penalty for uncorrected errors from Gross WPM. Two candidates with the same raw speed can end up several WPM apart.
Key depressions (KDPH)
Some notices state speed as key depressions. 35 WPM equals 10,500 key depressions an hour (35 × 5 × 60), and 30 WPM equals 9,000.
Full and half mistakes
TypingHub groups errors to help you review an attempt. Full and half weights in this report are practice feedback; use your recruitment's evaluation instructions for official penalties.
4-Week Practice Plan for KVS Typing Test
An adaptable practice routine, not a qualification guarantee. Repeat a stage until your accuracy is steady.
Week 1: Accuracy base
Touch-typing drills without looking at the keys. Hold 95% accuracy or better and ignore speed for now.
Week 2: Build speed
Two timed five-minute runs a day. Raise your pace by two or three WPM only once accuracy stays steady.
Week 3: Full-length mocks
One full KVS Typing Test mock a day for the exam's full duration. Read the error report and retype the words you missed.
Week 4: Exam rehearsal
Practise at your exam's time of day, on a full-size keyboard, with your notice's backspace rule. Aim a few WPM above the target.
