1. RRB NTPC Examination & Typing Skill Test
Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) conducts Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) examinations for various graduate and undergraduate level posts in Indian Railways.
Some NTPC posts are related to clerical and administrative work, where computer typing proficiency is an important job skill. These include posts such as Senior Clerk cum Typist, Junior Accounts Assistant cum Typist, Junior Clerk cum Typist and Accounts Clerk cum Typist.
What is RRB NTPC Typing Skill Test?
The Computer Based Typing Skill Test (CBTST) was conducted for eligible typist posts in previous NTPC recruitment cycles. Candidates had to demonstrate their typing ability in either English or Hindi on a computer.
- English typing proficiency.
- Hindi typing proficiency.
- Typing speed and accuracy.
- Continuous typing under a fixed time limit.
- Correct typing without editing tools or spell-check assistance.
RRB has dispensed with the Computer Based Typing Skill Test for the typist posts under CEN 06/2026 Graduate and CEN 07/2026 Undergraduate recruitment. Typing proficiency is expected to be assessed after joining, as specified in the respective notifications.
Candidates preparing for previous recruitment cycles, other applicable RRB notifications or future typing requirements can continue improving their English and Hindi typing skills with Mahesh Typing Tutor.

5. RRB NTPC Typing Evaluation Formula & Result
In the previous RRB NTPC CBTST instructions, typing performance was evaluated using full mistakes, half mistakes and a permissible error allowance of 5% of the total words typed.
Official Previous CBTST Evaluation Method
RRB NTPC Typing Speed Formula
Total Mistakes = Full Mistakes + (Half Mistakes ÷ 2)
Ignorable Mistakes = 5% of Total Words Typed
Final Mistakes = Total Mistakes − Ignorable Mistakes
Net Words = Total Words Typed − (Final Mistakes × 10)
Net WPM = Net Words ÷ 10 Minutes
Example of RRB NTPC Result Calculation
Suppose a candidate types 400 words in 10 minutes and commits 10 final count mistakes after applying the prescribed 5% allowance.
| Particulars | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Total Words Typed | - | 400 |
| Final Count Mistakes | - | 10 |
| Penalty | 10 × 10 | 100 |
| Net Words | 400 − 100 | 300 |
| Net Typing Speed | 30 WPM | |
In this example, the candidate achieves 30 WPM net typing speed, which meets the previous English qualifying standard. The previous Hindi qualifying standard was 25 WPM.
