Open the original- What it measures
- This is an exam criterion for a typing test, measured on a computer keyboard with Hindi script. It is the Hindi counterpart of the 35 wpm English criterion in the same test.
- What it does not show
- This is an exam pass mark, not a measure of typical Hindi typing speed. The exam uses its own keyboard and scoring rules.
