RSSB LDC Typing Test 2026: Schedule for December, Speed Rules, Admit Card and How to Prepare

Quick answer

The Rajasthan Subordinate and Ministerial Services Selection Board (RSSB) has published the typing test schedule for the LDC recruitment 2026. The board's schedule lists seven test days in December 2026: 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28 and 29 December. Only candidates shortlisted after the written exam can appear. The written result came out on 28 September 2026. The admit card is expected in December.

Who takes the typing test

The typing test is for candidates who passed the written examination and were shortlisted for the next stage. Check the shortlist on the official RSSB website. The typing test does not add to your written marks, but you must qualify it to be selected.

Test days

Your date and time will be on your admit card. Do not plan travel until you have it.

Speed and accuracy rules

Published guides describe the test in two parts, one in Hindi and one in English, with a qualifying speed for each. One guide gives a qualifying speed of 25 words per minute in Hindi and 30 words per minute in English. Another describes four parts of 25 marks each, over about 40 minutes. The test rules are set in the official notice, so use the notice as the final word on the speed and the marks.

Admit card

The admit card for the typing test will be released on the RSSB website. Download it, check your name, date, shift and centre, and carry a printed copy with a valid photo identity card. Keep a PDF copy on your phone as well.

How to prepare for the typing test

1. Set a daily practice routine. Thirty minutes a day, every day, works better than a long session once a week.
2. Practise Hindi and English separately. Use a typing tutor, and time each session.
3. Track your speed and errors. Note your words per minute and your error rate each day.
4. Build accuracy first. Speed comes after clean, error-free typing.
5. Do full-length practice. In the last two weeks, practise the complete test time once a day.

What to bring on the test day

• Printed admit card
• Valid photo identity card, as the notice requires
• A passport photograph, if asked
• Any document the board names on the admit card

Reach the centre early. Late entry is usually refused.

Documents for the next stage

Keep the marksheets, the category certificate and the other documents from your application ready. The board may ask for them after the typing test, at the document verification stage.

Common mistakes

• Missing the admit card. Check the RSSB website regularly in December.
• Relying on an old speed rule. Use the rule in the current notice.
• Practising only in one language. Both Hindi and English are tested.

What the typing test checks

The typing test checks whether you can type accurately and at a steady speed in both scripts the board asks for. Speed alone is not enough. A high speed with many errors can fail the qualifying rule, so accuracy and speed both count. Practise a fixed passage each day and record both numbers.

A two-week sprint plan

• Days 1 to 3: Keyboard positions, home row and common letter pairs. Type 15 minutes a day.
• Days 4 to 7: Passages in Hindi, then English, at a speed slightly above your current level.
• Days 8 to 11: Timed passages, with a review of every error before the next attempt.
• Days 12 to 14: Full-length practice at the test time, once a day, with a short rest after each.

Keep the same keyboard layout as the test centre, if you can find it. Practise on a regular computer keyboard, not only on a phone.

Posture and eyes on the test day

Sit with your back straight, feet flat and wrists slightly raised off the keys. Take a short break every 20 minutes during practice so your eyes and fingers do not tire. A steady rhythm works better than a sprint at the start of the test.

How the typing test fits into the LDC process

The LDC recruitment has more than one stage. The written examination decides who is shortlisted. The typing test then qualifies the shortlisted candidates, and the board follows it with document verification and the final merit process set in the notice. Missing the typing test means you do not move forward, even with a strong written score, so give it the same attention as the written exam.

Why accuracy beats speed in the first month

Many candidates try to type very fast from the first day and make a lot of errors. In the test, each error reduces your accurate speed, so a steady pace with clean typing often gives a better result. Build a base speed first, then push the speed up by small steps each week.

Practice material and where to find it

Use a typing tutor that gives you the passage, the timer and the error count. Use passages of the same style as the test, in both Hindi and English. Avoid memorising a single passage, because the test uses fresh text.

Keeping your documents ready

Put every certificate you need in one folder, both originals and photocopies. Label each file with the name of the certificate and the date you saved it. When the board asks for documents after the typing test, you will be able to find each one in minutes.

Common questions candidates ask

Will there be a second typing attempt if I fail? Check the board's notice for re-test rules.

Is the typing test in one shift? The admit card lists your date and shift. Check it when it is released.

Do I need my own keyboard? Use the centre's computer. Practise on a standard keyboard so the layout feels familiar.

What if my computer at home is slow? Practise with a typing tutor that runs on your device. The test speed is measured on the board's system, so focus on accuracy first.
