In case candidates type additional words/wrong words, thereby exhausting the allowed number of words before completing the master text, then they may use the arrow keys/backspace key to correct wrongly typed word(s) or remove additional typed word(s) before proceeding to complete the master text.
To help the candidates, a demo video for the said typing test/DEST has been uploaded on the website of the commission in the ‘candidate corner.’
The computer proficiency test (CPT) will comprise of additional two modules — PowerPoint presentation/generation of slides (MS PowerPoint) and spreadsheet (MS Excel). Both these tests will be administered on MS Office platform (Microsoft Office-2007 and higher versions) and duration of each module will be l-5 minutes. These modules will be conducted one after the other. After completion of both the modules, the printout of the candidate’s work will be taken.
