BSSC Typing Test Preparation
Quick answer: BSSC (Bihar SSC) Inter Level's bilingual typing skill test runs 10 minutes per language — English first, then Hindi after a short interval. You need 35 WPM English or 30 WPM Hindi net speed, using Mangal Remington GAIL for Hindi. It's qualifying only; clearing it is mandatory but the marks aren't added to merit.

Page reviewed: 2026-08-30. Practice rule status: draft. BSSC Inter Level's bilingual typing skill test runs 10 minutes per language, scored on net speed (gross speed minus uncorrected-error deductions) rather than a stated maximum error percentage. Independent coaching-site sources converge on 35 WPM English / 30 WPM Hindi using Mangal Remington GAIL (not InScript), with backspace fully enabled and live word-by-word correctness highlighting in the official testing software. The test is qualifying only. No primary BSSC notification PDF was located; re-check the current cycle's official instructions before relying on these figures.
Worked example: how the scoring plays out
At 35 WPM over 10 minutes you need 350 net words. Type 370 words with 15 mistakes: net = 370 − 15 = 355 words ÷ 10 minutes = 35.5 WPM — a pass. Push mistakes to 25 on the same 370 words: net = 345 ÷ 10 = 34.5 WPM — a fail, despite typing more raw words than the 350-word target, because BSSC has no error-percentage buffer to absorb the extra mistakes.
What to practise first
BSSC's typing test has no error buffer, so a clean, deliberate pace scores better than a fast, careless one.
A practical 12-day preparation plan
| Days 1-3 | 20 minutes daily: Remington GAIL key drills if Hindi is new to you, alongside English warm-ups. |
|---|---|
| Days 4-6 | 25 minutes daily: two 5-minute passages per language, tracking net WPM after every mistake. |
| Days 7-9 | 25 minutes daily: one full 10-minute attempt per language, back-to-back as in the real test. |
| Days 10-12 | Two full English-then-Hindi sequences with a short break, then a final calm attempt. |

Exam habit: BSSC's Remington GAIL Hindi layout is a real point of confusion — several competitor tools default to InScript instead.
Common reasons candidates miss the standard
- Practising Mangal InScript by mistake instead of the Remington GAIL layout BSSC actually uses.
- Typing fast without correcting visible mistakes, since there's no error-percentage buffer to absorb them.
- Only ever practising English and Hindi separately, never as the real back-to-back sequence.
- Underestimating how directly every mistake reduces net WPM with no forgiveness threshold.
Frequently asked questions
What is the BSSC Inter Level typing speed requirement?
35 words per minute in English or 30 words per minute in Hindi, each over a 10-minute section.
Which Hindi keyboard layout does BSSC use?
Mangal Remington GAIL — a different key layout from Mangal InScript, which some competitor tools incorrectly default to.
Is the BSSC typing test added to the final merit list?
No. It is qualifying only — you must clear the speed requirement, but the marks aren't added to merit.
Is there a maximum error percentage for BSSC?
No published percentage was found. Scoring is described as net speed, meaning every mistake reduces your WPM directly rather than being forgiven up to a threshold.
Is there a Windows app for this typing test?
Yes — the same practice engine also runs as a native Windows app on the Microsoft Store. One paid key unlocks the full test bank on both the website and the app.
