How Scoring Works

Conducted bi-annually by the Maharashtra State Council of Examination (MSCE Pune), the GCC-TBC (Government Commercial Certificate in Computer Typing Basic Course) English 30 WPM speed passage is evaluated out of 40 marks. Candidates type a 300-word passage in 10 minutes. Each error (misspelling, omission, or extra keystroke) incurs a 1.0 mark deduction. Candidates must secure at least 16.00 marks (40%) to pass. Scoring 30+ marks (≤10 errors) awards prestigious Grade 'A', 24–29.5 awards Grade 'B', and 20–23.5 awards Grade 'C'.

Practice Tips

  • ›Since backspace is unrestricted, correct errors immediately before moving to the next word.
  • ›Maintain a steady pace of 32–34 gross WPM to comfortably complete the 300-word passage with time to proofread.
