DSSSB Junior Clerk Typing Rules 2026 — What You Must Know

🖥️

Screen-to-screen mode — passage is on your monitor

DSSSB conducts the typing test in screen-to-screen mode. The passage appears in a window on the computer screen and you type it into a second window. There is no printed hard copy. The Board provides both the computer and the keyboard. Practise reading from a screen while typing, because that is exactly what the exam asks of you.
🧪

Take the official DSSSB mock test first

DSSSB publishes a mock test on dsssb.delhi.gov.in so candidates can familiarise themselves with the module and interface before the exam. Take it. Knowing where the passage window sits, how the timer behaves, and how text is entered removes a layer of exam-day surprise that costs real WPM in the first minute.
🌐

Language is locked before the exam day

Candidates choose English or Hindi through the OARS portal within the notified window. Anyone who does not exercise the option is deemed to have opted for English, and the test is conducted in English only. No request to change the medium is entertained on the day of the test — so confirm your choice early and practise in that language.
🏠

Home row — foundation of touch typing

A S D F (left hand) · J K L ; (right hand) — F and J have raised bumps. Return fingers to home row after every keystroke. This is the foundation of touch typing. Candidates who master home row first consistently reach target speed faster than those who use the hunt-and-peck method.
⌨️

Check every key during the centre mock

DSSSB instructs candidates to check all keys of the computer at the exam centre and satisfy themselves that the machine is working properly during the mock test. A sticky key found at minute three of a ten-minute test is unrecoverable. Report any hardware problem to the invigilator before the actual test starts.

DSSSB Junior Clerk — English vs Hindi Typing Option

Junior Clerk and LDC candidates choose their typing language through the OARS portal before the exam, not on the day of the test. Candidates who do not exercise the option are deemed to have opted for English, and the test is then conducted in English only. Compare the two before you decide.

30-Day DSSSB Junior Clerk Typing Preparation Plan

Week 1–2
Home row mastery
A S D F J K L ; — eyes on the screen only. F and J bumps are your anchor. Daily 20 minutes. Target 15 WPM purely on home row words without looking at the keyboard.
Week 3
Full keyboard, on-screen reading
Add the top and bottom rows. Practise reading the passage from a screen while typing, since DSSSB runs the test in screen-to-screen mode. Take the official mock on dsssb.delhi.gov.in this week so the interface is familiar.
Week 4
Timed sessions with accuracy held
Ten-minute timed sessions daily. Push past 38 WPM in English or 33 WPM in Hindi so you have margin above the requirement — but do not let accuracy slip while chasing speed. TypingSutra tracks WPM per session and identifies weak keys.
