SSC MTS Typing Test 2026 — Everything You Need to Know

The SSC MTS (Multi Tasking Staff) Typing Test is a mandatory Skill Test conducted at Tier-2 level for candidates applying for Typist posts across Central Government departments. It is not required for all MTS posts — only for the designated Typist category.

The test runs for exactly 10 minutes with the Backspace key completely disabled. Every error you make reduces your net speed. The qualifying bar is 30 WPM for English and 25 WPM for Hindi — measured as net speed, not gross.

Our simulator replicates this environment precisely: real-style paragraphs, a strict timer, backspace disabled, and instant feedback on accuracy and net WPM. Whether you're starting from scratch or fine-tuning your speed in the final days before the exam, MultiTyping gives you the most realistic practice available — completely free.

SSC MTS Typing Speed Requirements 2026

Official speed standards for Typist posts — always verify from the latest SSC notification before your exam.

Exam Stage Language Required Net Speed Duration Allowed Font Backspace
SSC MTS Tier-2 (Skill Test) English 30 WPM Net 10 Minutes Standard QWERTY ❌ Disabled
SSC MTS Tier-2 (Skill Test) Hindi 25 WPM Net 10 Minutes Mangal (Inscript) / Kruti Dev 010 ❌ Disabled
⚠️ Net WPM = (Total Words Typed − Error Penalty) ÷ Minutes. Confirm font and speed requirements from the official SSC MTS notification for your cycle.

How Net WPM is Calculated in SSC MTS

SSC does not use gross WPM as your final score. The formula most commonly applied is:

Net WPM = (Total Words Typed − (Errors × 2)) ÷ Duration in Minutes

This means each error costs you two words from your score. If you type 35 gross WPM but make 5 mistakes in 10 minutes, your net WPM drops to 34 WPM — still qualifying, but cutting it close. Here is a practical guide for your preparation targets:

  • For English (30 WPM) — aim for a gross speed of 33–36 WPM to have a comfortable buffer for errors.
  • For Hindi (25 WPM) — maintain a gross target of 28–30 WPM with accuracy above 95%.
  • Never sacrifice accuracy for speed. An error-heavy 40 WPM typist can easily fall below the cut-off.

Our platform displays your net WPM in real-time so you always know exactly where you stand.

Hindi Typing — Mangal vs Kruti Dev

SSC MTS allows candidates to type Hindi using either Mangal (Inscript keyboard layout) or Kruti Dev 010 (Remington Gail layout), depending on what the notification specifies for a given cycle.

Mangal uses the standard Inscript layout built into Windows. Kruti Dev follows the old Remington layout familiar to typewriter-trained typists. Practice both on MultiTyping and switch to whichever feels more natural for you before the exam.

⚠️

Why Backspace Disabled Matters

The backspace-disabled rule is the single biggest challenge in the SSC MTS typing test. In daily typing, most people unconsciously hit backspace several times a minute — in the exam, each of those corrections becomes a permanent error that drags down your net WPM.

Training with backspace disabled from day one trains your fingers to type carefully rather than carelessly. Our simulator enforces this rule strictly, just like the real test environment. Do not practice on tools that allow backspace — they will give you false confidence.

7 Proven Tips to Clear the SSC MTS Typing Test

Practical, experience-backed advice from candidates who have cleared the typing test on their first attempt.

TIP 01

Always Practice Backspace-Disabled

Use MultiTyping's exam mode from your very first session. The adjustment period is painful, but it builds the accuracy instinct that the exam demands.

TIP 02

Target Gross Speed 20% Above the Cut-Off

You need 30 WPM net? Train to 36 WPM gross. The buffer absorbs errors and test-day nervousness without putting your result at risk.

TIP 03

Practice Full 10-Minute Sessions

Speed in minute one means nothing if your pace drops by minute eight. Build endurance with complete timed sessions every day.

TIP 04

Learn the Correct Finger Positions

Touch typing with proper home-row technique is far faster than hunting-and-pecking. Spend two weeks on finger placement before focusing on speed.

TIP 05

Use the Same Font You'll Type in the Exam

For Hindi, confirm whether the exam uses Mangal or Kruti Dev for your cycle. Practice exclusively in that font — layout differences will trip you up on exam day.

TIP 06

Track Your Progress Daily

Note your net WPM and error rate after every session. A consistent upward trend over 30 days is more valuable than occasional high scores.

TIP 07

Simulate Exam Day Conditions

In your final week, practice at the same time of day as your exam slot, in a quiet environment, wearing the clothes you plan to wear. Remove every variable you can control.

SSC MTS Typing Test — Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions from SSC MTS aspirants about the typing test.

Is the SSC MTS typing test mandatory for all candidates?
No. The SSC MTS Typing Test is only for candidates who applied for Typist posts. Candidates applying for other MTS category posts (Peon, Daftary, Junior Gestetner Operator, etc.) do not need to appear for the typing test. Check the post category on your admit card to confirm.
Should I choose Hindi or English typing for SSC MTS?
Choose the language in which you can consistently achieve both the speed and the accuracy requirement. English requires 30 WPM (higher bar) but has a simpler keyboard layout. Hindi requires 25 WPM but involves an additional layer of font complexity (Mangal or Kruti Dev). Most candidates who grew up typing in Hindi find it more natural despite the lower required speed. Practice both on MultiTyping for a week and let your numbers guide the decision.
What is the difference between Mangal (Inscript) and Kruti Dev typing?
Mangal (Inscript) is a Unicode-based font using the phonetically arranged Inscript keyboard layout — the same layout promoted by the Government of India across its digital platforms. It is built into every Windows system. Kruti Dev 010 is a legacy ASCII font that uses the Remington Gail typewriter-style layout. Kruti Dev is faster for those who learned on old mechanical typewriters, but Mangal is recommended for new learners since it is future-proof and universally supported. Always check which font SSC specifies in your notification cycle.
What happens if I press Backspace during the SSC MTS typing test?
In the actual exam software, the Backspace key is either completely disabled or pressing it counts the deletion as an additional error. Either way, you cannot undo mistakes once typed. This is exactly why MultiTyping disables backspace in its practice mode — training with corrections enabled gives you unrealistic accuracy figures that will not hold up under real exam conditions.
How many days of practice do I need to clear the SSC MTS typing test?
It depends entirely on your current baseline. If you already type around 20 WPM and just need to build speed and adjust to the backspace-disabled rule, 30–45 days of focused daily practice is usually enough. If you are starting from zero with no touch-typing foundation, give yourself at least 60–90 days. The key variables are: daily practice duration (minimum 30 minutes), using backspace-disabled mode from day one, and tracking your net WPM progress systematically.
Does the SSC MTS typing test have a negative marking system?
The typing test is a qualifying test, not a ranking test — you need to meet the net WPM threshold, but your typing speed does not add to or subtract from your merit score. However, errors do reduce your net WPM (each error typically costs you 2 words), so a high error rate can push you below the qualifying line. There are no "marks" or grades — it is simply pass or fail based on net WPM.
Can I practice SSC MTS typing test on a mobile phone?
While MultiTyping is accessible on mobile browsers, we strongly recommend practicing on a desktop or laptop computer with a physical keyboard — the same setup you will use on exam day. Mobile virtual keyboards work completely differently from physical keyboards and will not build the muscle memory you need for the actual test. Use a laptop or desktop for all your timed practice sessions.
