Page reviewed: 2026-08-30. Practice rule status: draft. Patna High Court Computer Operator-cum-Typist (Advt. PHC/02/2026) typing test: 10 minutes per language, roughly 400-word English / 300-word Hindi passage, 40 WPM English / 30 WPM Hindi net speed. Typing carries real marks toward a 250-mark written-plus-typing stage (100 English + 100 Hindi), not qualifying-only — English needs roughly 90% accuracy, Hindi roughly 85%, per secondary sources, though a separate 3% overall error-rate figure also appears in some sources and isn't reconciled with the marks framing here. Hindi keyboard layout is not stated in any source found; this profile defaults to Mangal InScript pending confirmation. Sourced entirely from typing-coaching sites, not a primary PHC PDF — re-check the live PHC notification before relying on any number here.
How your score is calculated
Wrong, omitted, extra, repeated or incomplete words are full mistakes; spacing, capitalisation and punctuation are half mistakes. Your gross speed must clear the language target and your error rate must stay under that language's accuracy gate — English at 90% accuracy, Hindi at 85%. 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: The 10-minute English section needs 40 WPM — 400 words. Type 420 words with 35 mistakes: error rate = 35 ÷ 420 ≈ 8.3%, under the roughly 10% (90% accuracy) cap, so it qualifies. At 45 mistakes (≈10.7%) you'd fail on accuracy alone, even though your gross speed still clears 40 WPM. The Hindi section is more forgiving — its cap loosens to roughly 15% (85% accuracy).
Tips for the Patna High Court (Computer Operator-cum-Typist) typing test
Patna High Court's scoring is unusual among exams on this site — typing marks appear to count toward final merit, not just qualification.
- Treat this as a scored stage, not a pass/fail one. Unlike most exams here, Patna HC's typing marks likely contribute to your final merit rank.
- English has a tighter accuracy bar than Hindi. Roughly 90% vs 85% — don't assume both languages forgive mistakes equally.
- Confirm the Hindi layout before committing practice time. No source specifies InScript vs Remington for this exam — this page defaults to InScript as an assumption.
- 40 WPM English is a genuinely fast target — among the higher English speed bars of any exam on this site. Build up gradually rather than trying to hit it cold.
