Points to note
- The 2026 notice does not give category-wise error limits, so this page judges speed only and shows your error % for reference. Figures quoted elsewhere online could not be verified.
- We judge the WPM requirement on net speed (after mistakes). SSC's notice states the speed but not this detail.
- Mistakes are counted as in SSC "Revised Guidelines for Evaluation of Typing Test/DEST Scripts", ssc.gov.in → For Candidates → Script Evaluation.
