Punjab & Haryana High Court Clerk Typing Test Guide
The Clerk recruitment ends with a qualifying Computer Proficiency Test. Merit comes from the written exam, but the 30 WPM typing test still stands between you and selection.

Clerk posts in the subordinate courts of Punjab, Haryana and U.T. Chandigarh are recruited by the Society for Centralized Recruitment of Staff in Subordinate Courts (SSSC) under the Punjab & Haryana High Court. The selection runs: Computer-Based Test (merit) → Computer Proficiency Test (qualifying) → Document Verification. The final merit is built from the CBT only.
The Computer Proficiency Test (CPT)
The CPT has two qualifying parts:
Word Processing (typing) — you type a printed passage on the computer.
Spreadsheet — a basic practical test; you usually must clear a minimum here before the typing part is even evaluated.
Typing speed and error rule
The required minimum is 30 WPM in English over a 10-minute word-processing test. You must keep mistakes within 10% — exceed that and you do not qualify. A practical speed formula used in evaluation is:
Typing speed = (words typed − mistakes) ÷ 10 minutes. So accuracy directly raises your effective speed, not just your error count.
In some cycles Punjabi typing is also assessed and an accuracy around 92% is expected, so check your specific notification.
How to qualify
Train to 40 WPM so the 30 WPM bar is comfortable under exam pressure.
Keep errors well under 10% — ideally below 5%, since mistakes subtract directly from your speed.
Don't ignore the spreadsheet part — learn basic operations, because failing it can block your typing evaluation.
The practice tool above loads the P&H Court preset at 30 WPM with the 10% cap so you can rehearse the real bar.
