Allahabad High Court Junior Assistant — English Typing Test
The English half of Junior Assistant Stage-II — 10 minutes, 30 WPM, 25 marks (for merit ranking). Nothing to install — start typing right away.
⚠ The minimum speed is 30 WPM, marks are calculated out of 25 (0.0833 deducted per mistake, based on a 300-word passage), and the underlying formula checks out exactly against a worked example. Note: marks are for the final merit list only — passing requires just the 30 WPM speed, there is no separate minimum marks cutoff. Since exam rules can change, please check the current notification on allahabadhighcourt.in before applying.
Before you start
- The 10-minute timer starts the moment you press the first key.
- The test submits automatically when time runs out, or you can finish early.
- Backspace can be used to make corrections.
- Passing only requires 30 WPM — marks (0–25) don't decide pass/fail here, they only feed into the final merit rank.

Frequently Asked Questions

- No — unlike AHC’s own RO/ARO test, Junior Assistant’s typing marks (out of 25) feed purely into the final merit rank alongside the 100-mark written stage and the Hindi typing marks. Passing the typing stage itself only requires clearing 30 WPM — there is no separate minimum-marks cutoff.
- How are mistakes counted?
- One full mistake per deviation — no half-mistake category is described for this exam, unlike SSC’s rules. Every wrong, missing, or extra word costs the same.
- Is this number confirmed from AHC’s own notification?
- Partially. The speed and marks-formula numbers were supplied directly rather than read by this site from a primary AHC document, so this page is marked unverified — please check the current notification on allahabadhighcourt.in before your exam.
