Typing Test
The procedure and instructions for the typing test conducted by UKSSSC on its typing software are as follows:
For Typing Test, four candidates will be called for each vacant post from the merit list of the written exam, based on category and sub-category. Before the start of the typing test, candidates will be given a two-minute demo (trial) on the Commission’s software to familiarize themselves with the software.

The candidate has to type on the right side of the computer screen in the same manner as the text is given on the left side. The words typed will be highlighted in the text on the left, making it clear to the candidate how much they have typed.
Errors up to 5% of the total Key Depressions typed by the candidate are acceptable, i.e. they will not be taken into consideration, but if there are more than 5% errors, 5 correct Key Depressions will be deducted as penalty for 01 wrong Key Depression. Thereafter, his/her Key Depression Per Hour (KDPH) will be calculated.
