Rajasthan High Court Typing (HCRAJ)

The Rajasthan High Court Typing Test is the Computer Test in the Junior Judicial Assistant (JJA), Lower Division Clerk (LDC), and related clerical recruitment conducted by the High Court of Rajasthan (HCRAJ) at Jodhpur. The Computer Test comprises two components with a total of 100 marks: Speed Test (50 marks, split as 5 minutes Hindi + 5 minutes English at 25 marks each) and Efficiency Test (50 marks, covering 10 minutes of MS Word formatting and layout tasks). Candidates who clear the written examination advance to this Computer Test, and both components contribute to final merit ranking.

The Speed Test minimum threshold is 8,000 KDPH (Key Depressions Per Hour), which converts to approximately 26.67 WPM. This is the disqualification floor. Candidates below 8,000 KDPH fail regardless of accuracy. However, competitive merit ranking requires typing at 10,000-12,000 KDPH with 95%+ accuracy. The Speed Test uses word-based penalty calculation: Net Speed = Gross Speed − Penalty. Full mistakes and Half mistakes both reduce net WPM under standard court typing methodology. The 5-minute duration per language is short and rewards sustained peak speed over endurance.

Rajasthan HC applies a distinctive font and layout combination that separates it from most Central government tests. Hindi typing uses Kruti Dev 010 (Non-Unicode, Remington typewriter layout) and English typing uses Calibri font. Mangal Inscript and Mangal Remington Gail are explicitly NOT accepted at HCRAJ. Candidates from Central government preparation backgrounds (KVS, EMRS, NVS, AIIMS, CBSE) who trained on Mangal Inscript must relearn Kruti Dev 010 specifically. Allow at least 30-45 days for the layout switch. The Kruti Dev 010 requirement aligns HCRAJ with Bihar Vidhan Sabha and Bihar Vidhan Parishad among typing tests.

This page covers the complete Rajasthan HC (HCRAJ) Computer Test: the 8,000 KDPH speed floor, the 5-minute Hindi + 5-minute English Speed Test structure with 25 marks each, the additional 10-minute MS Word Efficiency Test worth 50 marks, the mandatory Kruti Dev 010 Hindi and Calibri English fonts, Full and Half mistake categories, keyboard feature availability, and a preparation plan for the two-component format. Both Hindi and English are mandatory in the Speed Test.

Net speed for Rajasthan HC HCRAJ Speed Test equals gross speed minus error penalty. Gross Speed = (Total Keystrokes ÷ 5) ÷ 5 minutes. The 8,000 KDPH threshold converts to 26.67 WPM. Full mistakes deduct 1 word; Half mistakes deduct 0.5 word. Net Speed must reach 8,000 KDPH minimum, with competitive merit requiring 10,000-12,000 KDPH.

The Rajasthan HC typing test runs on a computer-based interface. The Speed Test uses Kruti Dev 010 Non-Unicode font with Remington typewriter layout for Hindi, and Calibri font for English. The Efficiency Test evaluates MS Word formatting, table creation, header/footer usage, and page layout tasks. Both components run consecutively at the exam centre.

Rajasthan HC applies word-based penalty calculation on the Speed Test. Full mistakes and Half mistakes both reduce net WPM. The competitive requirement of 95%+ accuracy means candidates cannot afford more than 5 errors per 100 words. At 133 gross words in 5 minutes (26.67 WPM), only 6-7 error units are permitted for competitive merit ranking.

Rajasthan HC has no category-based error relaxation on the Computer Test. The 8,000 KDPH floor, 95% accuracy competitive requirement, and Efficiency Test scoring apply to all candidates regardless of category. Category relaxation applies only to the written examination cut-offs.

Rajasthan HC uses Kruti Dev 010 (Non-Unicode, Remington typewriter layout) for Hindi typing. Mangal Inscript and Mangal Remington Gail are explicitly NOT accepted at HCRAJ. This differs from most Central government tests. AI Typing serves Mangal Inscript; HCRAJ candidates should practise Kruti Dev 010 key positions specifically.
