Odia typing in government exams
Many Odisha recruitments for junior assistant, clerk, stenographer and court posts include a computer skill or typing test in Odia and English. Regular practice with a timer is the fastest way to improve both speed and accuracy.
How the score is calculated
- Gross WPM = (characters typed ÷ 5) ÷ minutes.
- Net WPM = gross WPM − (errors ÷ minutes).
- Accuracy = correct characters ÷ characters typed × 100.
Exam bodies may use a different scoring rule, but this gives a reliable picture of your progress.
