How Scoring Works

Under UKPSC Samiksha Adhikari / Sahayak Samiksha Adhikari recruitment rules, candidates sit for a single unified 10-minute English typing test at Gyanodaya Lab, Haridwar. Candidates attaining at least 8,000 Net KDPH (~26.67 WPM) qualify for Uttarakhand Secretariat Review Officer (RO). Candidates attaining 9,000 Net KDPH (30.00 WPM) simultaneously qualify for High Court and UKPSC Assistant Review Officer (ARO) positions. Both tiers use a statutory 5% error buffer with 5-stroke deductions per excess error.

Practice Tips

  • ›Practice targeting 32+ WPM to comfortably exceed the higher 9,000 KDPH standard for High Court and ARO vacancies.
  • ›Take advantage of unrestricted backspace to fix errors immediately and protect your 5% buffer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do RO and ARO candidates take separate typing tests in UKPSC?

No. All candidates appear in a single unified 10-minute typing session. Your net speed achieved determines whether you qualify for Secretariat RO (8,000 KDPH), High Court ARO (9,000 KDPH), or both.

What is the difference between RO and ARO speed cutoffs?

Secretariat Review Officer (RO) requires 8,000 KDPH (~26.67 WPM or 1,334 key depressions), whereas High Court and UKPSC Assistant Review Officer (ARO) vacancies require 9,000 KDPH (30.00 WPM or 1,500 key depressions).

Does typing test marks count in the UKPSC RO/ARO final merit list?

No, typing is purely qualifying. Final selection merit is decided by marks obtained in the Written Mains examination, provided the candidate qualifies in typing and the 100-mark Computer Practical Test (CPT).
