BSSC Inter Level Typing Test Simulator
Bihar Staff Selection Commission conducts the Inter Level typing skill test for LDC, Panchayat Secretary and similar posts, and candidates are commonly tested in both English and Hindi one after the other. This simulator runs each language as a separate ten minute test at the reported norms of 35 and 30 words per minute.

Two languages in one sitting
The feature that catches BSSC candidates out is not the speed but the sequence. Where both languages are tested, you type English first, wait, and then type Hindi — twenty minutes of concentrated typing inside a short window. Candidates who practised each language separately at full effort often find the second test noticeably slower than their practice average.
Train for it directly. Once a week, run the English test on this page, rest for ten minutes, and then run the Hindi test without a warm-up. The drop you see on the second run is the real number you should plan around.
35 WPM English and 30 WPM Hindi
Thirty-five words a minute means roughly 350 correct words in ten minutes, and thirty words a minute in Hindi about 300. These are among the higher norms in state clerical recruitment, so a candidate who is only just clearing 30 WPM in English should treat the gap seriously rather than hoping for a soft passage.
The efficient route to 35 is almost never "type faster". It is removing the three things that eat whole seconds: hunting for punctuation, correcting mid-word, and pausing to re-read the passage. Our speed guide covers drills for each of those.
Hindi on a Bihar exam machine
Hindi typing here is in Mangal, and candidates are generally allowed the layout named in the advertisement — usually InScript, sometimes with Remington GAIL as an alternative. Whichever you choose, practise only that one. The built-in keyboard on this page maps your QWERTY keys to InScript so you can train without installing anything, and it shows each key's unshifted and shifted character while you type.
Beginners should spend the first ten days on matras and half letters rather than passages. It feels slow and it is the fastest route to 30 WPM.

We keep this page matched to the official notice. Always confirm the figures in the notification for your own recruitment year before you rely on them — boards do change speed norms and error limits between cycles.
