JKSSB Releases Revised Score-Sheet for Steno Typist Written Test
The Jammu and Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) has released the revised result and score-sheet for the Written Test conducted for the post of Steno Typist. The update comes following the review of the results from the Computer-Based Type Test (Skill Test), Short-Hand Test, and the OMR-based Written Test.
Examination Details
According to the official notification, the written examination for the post of Steno Typist, advertised under Advertisement Notification No. 02 of 2021, was conducted on 31st December 2024 (Shift-II). Candidates were required to meet specific typing speed and shorthand transcription criteria of 25 WPM and 65 WPM, respectively.
Evaluation Criteria
JKSSB has outlined the methodology used to compile the final score-sheet:
- Type Test: 20 Marks
- Candidate’s type test score was calculated using the formula:
(Net Speed / Maximum Net Speed) × 20 - The maximum speed achieved in the examination was 87 WPM.
- Candidate’s type test score was calculated using the formula:
- Short-Hand and Transcription Test: 20 Marks
- The score was computed as follows:
Maximum Marks – (Errors Committed × Qualifying Penalty Marks) / Error Admissible - Maximum marks available: 20
- Qualifying Penalty Marks: 40% of 20 = 8 Marks
- Error Admissible: 5% of total words (325) = 16 words
- The score was computed as follows:
- Written Test (OMR): 60 Marks
- The final answer key for the OMR-based written test was notified on 17th March 2025.
