Points to note
- Taken from an older edition of the CPCT Rule Book. The current edition and the assessment formula on cpct.mp.gov.in could not be opened, so the error formula and backspace rule are not confirmed.
- The official CPCT question papers of 5–8 September 2026 (published on cpct.mp.gov.in) show 15-minute English and Hindi actual tests of 550 words each, with Remington for Hindi. The qualifying scores above are still from the older Rule Book.
