Police office typing
Ministerial work in Delhi Police includes duty records, leave and pay matters, and letters to other offices. Typing passages for such posts are administrative. Practise office passages and keep your accuracy high; errors reduce net speed quickly.
The typing test is qualifying, and your rank depends on the computer based test.
Fitting typing around physical preparation
Physical tests take time and energy. Keep a short daily typing routine of ten to fifteen minutes throughout your preparation so the typing test is never a last-minute worry.
Targets
- English: 30 WPM, about 9,000 KDPH.
- Hindi: 25 WPM, about 7,500 KDPH.
- Aim at least 5 WPM above in practice.
How the selection stages fit together
The recruitment usually begins with a computer based test, followed by physical endurance and measurement tests, and then the typing test on computer, along with document verification and a medical examination. Candidates who neglect typing until after the physical tests often find themselves short of time. Ten to fifteen minutes of daily practice from the start of your preparation is enough to reach and hold the required speed. Use the progress page to check that your speed keeps rising week by week, and take a full ten-minute mock test at least twice a week once the physical tests are announced.
