If you’re preparing for the NTPC typing test, you must clearly understand all the NTPC typing test rules. Even a small mistake or misunderstanding can lead to disqualification.

Complete NTPC Typing Test Rules (Numbered)

1. Typing Test Duration

The total time given for the NTPC typing test is 10 minutes.

2. Minimum Speed Requirement

• English: 30 WPM
• Hindi: 25 WPM

👉 This speed is calculated after mistake deduction, not raw typing speed.

3. Language Choice Rule

Candidates can choose:

• English typing
• Hindi typing

For Hindi:

• Mangal font
• KrutiDev font

4. Minimum Words Requirement

• English: 300 words
• Hindi: 250 words

⚠️ If you do not complete the passage at least once, you will be disqualified.

5. Passage Completion Rule (Very Important)

Typing the full passage at least one time is mandatory within 10 minutes.

6. Passage Repetition Rule

• You are allowed to repeat the passage multiple times
• If time is left, start again to improve performance

7. No Editing Rule

• You cannot use editing features (as per official instructions)
• Mistakes remain counted

8. Mistake Classification Rule

Mistakes are divided into:

• Full mistakes
• Half mistakes

9. Total Mistake Formula

Total Mistakes=Full Mistakes+Half Mistakes/2

10. 5% Mistake Relaxation Rule

• 5% of total typed words are ignored
• Example: 300 words → 15 mistakes ignored

11. Final Mistake Calculation

Final mistakes are calculated after subtracting the 5% relaxation.

12. Typing Speed Formula

Speed=Total Words−(Final Mistakes×10)/Time
