Recent RRB CBTST session structure: Official RRB special instructions describe 1 minute of typing practice, a short break, and then a 10-minute typing test used for evaluation. This website starts directly with the 10-minute practice test; the warm-up/break are not part of the scored practice simulation.
RRB note: The current NTPC practice page is configured for the English test. The official RRB process also provides for Hindi typing; Hindi fonts/options are intentionally reserved for a later language rollout. Always follow the latest RRB notice applicable to the recruitment cycle you are taking.

RRB NTPC Practice Behaviour in This Platform

  • Typing is accepted on the keyboard only; the typing area is not editable through normal browser text-editing controls.
  • Backspace, Delete, arrow navigation, Home/End, Tab, Enter and related editing/navigation keys are blocked during the NTPC test.
  • Copy, paste, cut and drag/drop actions are blocked.
  • Browser spell-check/autocapitalisation/autocorrection are disabled on the typing area.
  • The clock runs for 10 minutes and starts with the first printable keystroke.
  • The practice engine enforces a 300-word minimum for evaluation in line with the recent RRB CBTST special instructions used for the verified 2026 test session.
  • For completed passages, the engine supports retyping from the beginning within the same test session.

RRB Error and Speed Calculation

  • Full and half mistakes are counted separately.
  • Total mistakes = Full mistakes + (Half mistakes ÷ 2).
  • 5% of the total words typed is treated as the permitted/ignored mistake allowance in the verified RRB CBTST special instructions.
  • Final mistakes = Total mistakes − permitted mistakes, with a floor of zero.
  • Net typing speed = [Total words typed − (Final mistakes × 10)] ÷ test time in minutes.

General Platform Rules

  • Type the displayed passage as accurately as possible.
  • Do not use copy, paste or keyboard shortcuts.
  • Use only the controls permitted by the selected examination module.
  • Use Test Again to repeat the same examination or Choose Another Test to return to the selection page.
  • Results shown here are for practice. Official recruitment rules and notices always take precedence.
