What it measures: The CBSE example's accuracy is net speed as a share of gross speed, the rule the CBSE document gives. It is a calculated value, not a figure the document states.
How it is calculated: 40.1 × 100 / 52.1 = 76.97, rounded to 77

Calculated from

In the same CBSE example, net speed is 40.1 words per minute, because only 401 of the 521 words typed were correct.
In the CBSE worked example, a candidate who typed 521 words in 10 minutes has a gross speed of 52.1 words per minute.
