WBPSC Clerkship Typing Test — Exam Overview
The WBPSC Clerkship typing test checks elementary knowledge of computer operation and the ability to type on computer at 20 WPM in English or 10 WPM in Bengali. It applies to Lower Division Assistant / Clerk posts in the Secretariat, Directorates and district and regional offices, under the Clerkship Examination 2024 (Advt No. 12/2024, published 6 October 2026, applications 6 to 26 October 2026).
Final merit is on Part-I and Part-II marks, provided the candidate is found qualified in the computer operation and typing test. Part-I is tentatively in December 2026, and the typing test comes after Part-I and Part-II. The advertisement does not state the duration, how mistakes are counted or the Backspace rule, so the 10-minute timer, 20 WPM target and 90% accuracy target here are practice settings.
How this exam differs
Advt 12/2024 asks for typing on computer at 20 WPM in English or 10 WPM in Bengali. The speed bar is low, so accuracy and ease with a computer matter more than raw speed.
Final merit is on Part-I and Part-II marks, provided the candidate is found qualified in the computer operation and typing test. The typing test comes only after both papers.
The advertisement does not state the duration, how mistakes are counted or the Backspace rule. The 10-minute timer here is a practice setting; check the instructions WBPSC issues.

Get comfortable on a computer
The test also checks basic computer operation. Practise basic file handling and typing on a computer, not only a phone.

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 WBPSC Clerkship 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 WBPSC Clerkship 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.
