RRB NTPC Typing Test 2026 guidance here comes from the official CEN06/2024 undergraduate CBTST special instructions dated6February2026. The English threshold is30WPM and Hindi25WPM. The original test date,13February2026,is past. This page is a practice reference, not a new admit-card release, application notice or schedule for another CEN.

Passage length and test timing

The instructions describe one minute of typing practice, a five-minute break and ten minutes of evaluated typing. Candidates must type at least300English words or250Hindi words; shorter transcripts are not evaluated. If the passage is completed, it may be retyped from the beginning within the allotted typing time.

How the mistake formula changes your speed

Mistakes are counted as full mistakes plus half the number of half mistakes. The notice allows5% of total typed words to be ignored when calculating final mistakes. Net typing speed is (total words typed minus final mistake count multiplied by10) divided by time. The notice example is400words with10final mistakes in10minutes: (400-100)/10=30WPM.

Do not confuse gross speed with qualifying speed

Typing fast with many errors can reduce net speed below the threshold. Editing tools for correcting typed matter are not permitted under these instructions. Check the latest instructions for your own CEN before the test; this historical notice cannot confirm another recruitment schedule or exemption rule.

Compare the separate SSC CHSL typing rules, which have different speed and font conditions. Use the typing tool for practice only, not an official RRB evaluation.
