Frequently asked questions
What is the qualifying typing speed for SSC CHSL?
SSC CHSL DEST: 10 minutes, English only. Qualifying speed is 35 wpm, roughly 10,000 key depressions in the full 10 minutes.
What are "key depressions" and how are they different from WPM?
Key depressions count every key you press, including spaces and punctuation, over the full test duration — it is the metric SSC itself uses to qualify candidates. WPM (words per minute) is a rate; key depressions is a total count. This tool shows both, though the key-depression figure here is a close practice estimate, not the exact count SSC's own exam software would report.
Is this the official exam typing test?
No — this is a free, unofficial practice tool built by Pareeksha to help you rehearse the format and pace of the real test. It is not affiliated with SSC, RRB or NIC.
