What Happens After the Result?
A lot of candidates ask me — “Bhai, result aane ke baad kya hoga?” So let me break it down clearly. Once the Junior Assistant result is declared, the recruitment process does not end there. Shortlisted candidates have to qualify through the remaining stages to get the final appointment. The next steps include the Typing Test, where candidates who are shortlisted from the written test will be called for the typing skill test. This stage carries 20 marks.
Candidates must have a minimum typing speed of 35 words per minute and must have an accuracy of 90% to pass this stage. The final selection will be based on the combined marks secured by candidates in the written exam and typing skill test, totalling 100 marks. There is no interview round — the selection process consists only of the written examination, typing skill test, and document verification.
This is a critical point. The Typing Test is NOT just qualifying — it carries 20 marks that count towards your final merit. A candidate who scores high in the written test but performs poorly in typing can still lose their rank. Don’t take it lightly.
Typing Skill Test — What You Need to Know
Candidates will be called for the Computer-based Type Test (Skill Test). For Junior Assistant posts, you must achieve a minimum speed of 35 words per minute with high accuracy. Here’s what the typing test structure typically looks like for JKSSB Junior Assistant:
| Mode | Computer-Based |
| Minimum Speed | 35 Words Per Minute (WPM) |
| Minimum Accuracy | 90% |
| Marks Allotted | 20 Marks |
| Language | English Typing |
How to Prepare for the Typing Skill Test — Right Now
The biggest mistake I see candidates making is waiting for the result before starting typing practice. Don’t do that. The result could drop this week, and the Skill Test schedule may follow quickly. JKSSB has released an advance notice regarding the conduct of recruitment examinations for various advertised posts, providing a tentative schedule for skill tests to be conducted in the coming months. Here is your action plan:
1. Start Typing Practice Today — No Excuses
If you are currently typing at 20–25 WPM, you need at least 3–4 weeks of consistent daily practice to comfortably hit 35+ WPM with 90% accuracy. The good news is that free tools like 10 FastFingers, TypingTest.com, and Keybr.com are excellent for daily drills. Practice at least 30–45 minutes daily — split into two sessions if needed.
2. Focus on Accuracy Before Speed
Many aspirants chase WPM numbers and end up with 70–80% accuracy, which is a fail. Start slow. Type at 20 WPM with 95%+ accuracy, then gradually push the speed up. Accuracy is non-negotiable at 90%.
3. Practice with Standard Paragraphs
The typing test typically uses formal English passages — government communications, official announcements, and administrative language. Practice with similar content. Avoid slang-heavy or casual text during your practice sessions.
4. Work on Problem Keys
Most candidates lose accuracy on punctuation marks, numbers, and capital letters. During your practice, note which keys cause the most errors and specifically drill those. Five minutes of targeted key practice is worth more than 30 minutes of random typing.
5. Get Comfortable with the Standard Keyboard Layout
Don’t practice on a phone or tablet. Use a desktop or laptop with a standard QWERTY keyboard — the same setup you’ll face in the exam hall. Muscle memory matters here.
6. Simulate Exam Conditions
In the last week before the test, do full 10-minute timed tests every day. This trains your focus and stamina. The exam will be stressful — your hands may shake slightly. Regularly timed tests build the composure you need.
