TypingTestExamThe UP Police Computer Operator Grade A recruitment is conducted by the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment & Promotion Board (UPPRPB) under Advertisement No. PRPB-3(2)/2023, with 1,352 vacancies. Selection is a written exam (160 questions, 200 marks, no negative marking) followed by a qualifying typing skill test and document verification.
You must qualify BOTH languages
Speed, accuracy and passage
| Language | Speed | Time | Passage | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| English | 30 WPM | 15 min | ~500 words | 85% |
| Hindi | 25 WPM | 15 min | ~400 words | 85% |
For reference, related UPPRPB ministerial posts differ: ASI Clerk / SI Confidential also need 30 English + 25 Hindi, while ASI Accounts needs only Hindi 15 WPM, and SI Confidential additionally needs 80 WPM Hindi stenography.
The font mandate — read this carefully
To enable Inscript on Windows: Settings → Time & Language → Language → Hindi → Options → Add keyboard → Hindi (Inscript). Switch layouts with Win + Space and practise the switch until it's muscle memory.
How the score is calculated (net WPM)
UPPRPB uses the standard government net-speed formula — the same idea SSC uses. Mistakes are deducted, then speed is computed:
- Full mistake (1): a wrong word, a missing word, or an extra word.
- Half mistake (0.5): spacing and capitalization errors.
Net WPM = (total words − full mistakes − half mistakes ÷ 2) ÷ time in minutes. You need the net speed AND 85% accuracy to qualify. The test is qualifying only — no marks are added to merit, but you must clear both language tests.
Interface: what to expect
The passage appears at the top of the screen and you type in a text box below; the timer starts on your first keystroke. Backspace is allowed for corrections. There is generally no live error highlighting, so practise reading the source passage rather than watching for red marks. After the test, you get a detailed analysis of mistakes, WPM and accuracy.
How to qualify
- Build English to 35+ WPM and Hindi to 28+ WPM so the 30/25 bars are comfortable.
- Hold 85%+ accuracy — spacing and capitalization slips are half-mistakes that add up.
- Train Hindi on Mangal/Inscript specifically — do not rely on KrutiDev.
- Practise full 15-minute sessions in each language so stamina holds.
- Confirm final rules from the official UPPRPB notification and admit-card instructions.
