HP District Court Clerk Typing Test — Exam Overview
The HP District Court Clerk typing test is run by the High Court of Himachal Pradesh for Clerk (Group-C) posts in the District Judiciary. Advt DJ-ADVT./2026 (1), dated 5 August 2026, covers 141 posts (84 regular and 57 on contract) and asks for 30 WPM in English and 25 WPM in Hindi on computers, using the Kruti Dev-10 font. Both languages must be qualified.
The typing-test instructions give 10 minutes for each test and permit only 10% mistakes, without saying how mistakes are counted. The test is merely qualifying; merit comes from the written test. The High Court provides the software and keyboards. This page practises the English test with a 10-minute timer, a 30 WPM target and a 90% accuracy target; it does not cover the Hindi test.
How this exam differs
The High Court of Himachal Pradesh requires both languages: 30 WPM in English and 25 WPM in Hindi on computer, using the Kruti Dev 10 font. This page practises the English half only.
Each typing test lasts 10 minutes and only 10% mistakes are permitted. The instructions do not say how mistakes are counted. The test is merely qualifying; merit comes from the written test.
The High Court supplies the typing software and keyboards, and candidates may not bring their own. Practise on a standard full-size keyboard rather than a laptop keyboard.

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 HP District Court Clerk 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 HP District Court Clerk 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.
