Krutidev 010 vs Mangal Unicode: UPSSSC allows both. Krutidev 010 uses the traditional Remington typewriter layout. Mangal Unicode uses INSCRIPT or Remington GAIL. Both are accepted — choose one before exam day and practise only on that layout. If you are new to Hindi typing, Mangal is recommended as it is Unicode-based and future-proof.

WPM Calculation — Full & Half Mistakes Explained

Full Mistake — 1 error each

✗Spelling error (omission, addition, substitution)

✗Wrong word or word omitted

✗Word repeated

✗Incomplete / half-typed word

Half Mistake — 0.5 error each

½Spacing error (missing or extra space)

½Wrong capitalisation

½Punctuation error

½Transposition (words in wrong order)

½Paragraphic error

Formula

Total errors = Full mistakes + (Half mistakes ÷ 2)
If total errors ≤ 5 → no penalty
If total errors > 5 → penalty = (errors − 5) × 5 words
Net WPM = (Total keystrokes ÷ 5 − penalty) ÷ 5 minutes
