GOVERNMENT EXAM SKILL TEST GUIDE
Computer Skill Test & Computer Proficiency Test (CPT)
A CPT checks whether a candidate can complete practical office work accurately—not merely answer computer-awareness questions. Requirements differ by recruitment, so always confirm the official notice for your post.

Practice CPT-style tasks now
Free, hands-on practice for Data Entry, Document Formatting, Word Processing and Spreadsheet tasks — the kind of practical work many recruitment computer skill tests ask for. This is CPT-style practice, not the official exam software, and results here are not an official qualifying score.
Best experienced on a laptop or desktop for the Formatting and Spreadsheet modules.
01
What can be asked in a CPT or computer skill test?
The practical modules and marking rules vary by exam.
Microsoft Excel
Data entry, formulas, functions, cell formatting, sorting, filtering, tables, charts, worksheets and print settings.
Microsoft PowerPoint
Creating and arranging slides, themes, text, images, tables, charts, transitions and presentation formatting.
Email and Internet
Writing professional email, using To/CC/BCC, attaching files, organising messages and completing common browser-based tasks.
Google Workspace
Some tests or workplace assessments may include Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, collaboration, sharing and cloud-file organisation.
Typing and accuracy
Some recruitments combine office-software work with English or Hindi typing, formatting or data-entry requirements.
CPT is not identical in every government exam
One recruitment may ask only Word, Excel and PowerPoint; another may add typing, email, internet or document-formatting work. Check the latest official notification, duration, software version, marks and qualifying rules before practising.

Computer skill test FAQs
What is a Computer Proficiency Test?
It is a practical assessment of a candidate’s ability to use office and computer tools required for the post.
Which software should I practise?
MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint are common. Email, internet tasks, typing and Google Workspace may also appear depending on the recruitment.
Is CPT only a theory examination?
No. Many CPT and computer skill tests require candidates to perform tasks on a computer within a fixed time.
Is this the same as a data entry typing test?
Data entry is one part of CPT, not the whole of it — the Data Entry module above practises entering and correcting rows of text and numbers accurately under time pressure, similar to what a standalone data entry test would ask, alongside the Word Processing and Spreadsheet tasks CPT also covers.
Does this cover numeric and 10-key typing?
Yes — the Data Entry tasks include numeric fields and number rows, so accuracy on the number keys is scored the same way as text accuracy, not as a separate exercise.
