Page reviewed: 2026-08-30. Practice rule status: draft. NVS Junior Secretariat Assistant (JSA) recruitment (630 posts) requires a typing test alongside the written exam. One independent source confirms 30 WPM English / 25 WPM Hindi specifically for NVS — distinct from the higher 35/30 WPM bar used by the sibling KVS JSA post, which some sources conflate with NVS. Duration, Hindi keyboard layout, error tolerance and qualifying status were not found in any NVS-specific source; the 10-minute duration, Mangal InScript layout and 5%-buffer/10-word-penalty structure used here are borrowed by analogy from KVS JSA and are markedly less certain than the speed figures. Verify against the live NVS recruitment notification before relying on this.
How your score is calculated
Wrong or misspelled words are full mistakes; punctuation, spacing, capitalisation and transposition are half mistakes. A 5% error-unit buffer is free; beyond that, 10 words are deducted from your net count for every further mistake — the same steep penalty already used for RRB NTPC and CRPF HC(M) on this site. Your result screen shows each detected mistake and the practice formula applied to your attempt. This result is not an official exam result.
Worked example: At 30 WPM over 10 minutes you need 300 net words. Type 310 words with 20 errors: the free buffer is 310 × 5% = 15.5, leaving 4.5 chargeable mistakes; deduction = 4.5 × 10 = 45 words; net = 310 − 45 = 265 ÷ 10 = 26.5 WPM — a fail, despite typing more than the 300-word target, since (by analogy with KVS) NVS is assumed to share this same harsh per-mistake penalty.
Tips for the NVS (Junior Secretariat Assistant) typing test
NVS is the least independently confirmed exam in this batch — practise the speed target with real confidence, but treat the exact penalty mechanics as an estimate.
- Trust the 30/25 WPM speed figures — they're NVS-specific. The duration, layout and penalty structure are inferred from KVS by analogy, so treat those as a reasonable practice approximation, not a confirmed rule.
- Practise as if mistakes are expensive. If the KVS-style penalty does apply, a handful of uncorrected errors can undo a lot of typed words.
- Don't confuse NVS with KVS. Some search results and competitor pages blend the two; NVS's confirmed speed bar (30/25) is lower than KVS's (35/30).
- Re-check the live NVS notification before your exam. More of this profile is inferred-by-analogy than usual — confirm duration and layout directly if possible.
