About this exam
Bihar's Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly) and Vidhan Parishad (Legislative Council) Sachivalaya (Secretariat) recruit for several clerical/technical posts together, most of which share the same typing-test framework: Personal Assistant/Assistant Section Officer, Data Entry Operator, Lower Division Clerk, Stenographer, and Prativedak (Reporter). The typing test runs after the written exam, as a qualifying stage.
Most of these posts share a common 30 WPM bar in both English and Hindi. Prativedak (Reporter) is the exception, with a higher 35 WPM requirement, in line with that post's heavier stenography/transcription demands. Check which specific post you're applying for, since the Sachivalaya runs these recruitments together but the bar isn't identical across all of them.
One honest note before you rely on this page: we tried to reach biharvidhanparishad.gov.in directly this session -- both through a live browser and an independent fetch -- and the domain did not resolve at all. That's a harder access failure than simply not finding the right PDF, so the figures below are cross-checked across multiple independent exam-prep sources with no disagreement between them, not confirmed by us against the Sachivalaya's own notification. See the rules section for exactly what that does and doesn't mean.
Typing rules for this exam
Typing speed, as consistently reported: 30 WPM in both English and Hindi for Personal Assistant/ASO, Data Entry Operator, Lower Division Clerk, and Stenographer. Prativedak (Reporter) is held to a higher 35 WPM bar in both languages, reflecting that post's heavier transcription workload.
Font, as reported specifically for this Sachivalaya: Hindi typing uses the Kruti Dev 010 font -- notably different from CPCT and UP Police on this site, which restrict Hindi typing to Unicode InScript/Mangal and explicitly exclude KrutiDev. If you've been training on InScript for other exams, budget real time to build Kruti Dev fluency specifically for this one.
Error tolerance is reported as unusually strict here -- around 1.5% of your total words typed, tighter than the 5% forgiveness SSC and RRB's own published formulas use. Sources also describe the typing interface itself as bare: no word highlighting, no error highlighting, no auto-scrolling -- closer to typing into a plain text box than the assisted interfaces some other exams use.
Sourcing note: biharvidhanparishad.gov.in did not resolve for us this session (a DNS failure, not just a missing page), so none of the figures above are independently confirmed by us against the Sachivalaya's own notification. They are reported consistently across multiple independent exam-prep sources with no numeric disagreement -- a real reliability signal, but not primary-source verification. Check your own admit card/Sachivalaya communication before relying on the exact numbers for your specific cycle.
How errors are calculated
None of the sources we cross-checked publish a full worked formula the way SSC and RRB do, but they consistently describe a materially tighter error-tolerance ceiling here -- approximately 1.5% of your total words typed, versus the 5% forgiveness SSC CHSL/RRB NTPC's own published formulas use elsewhere on this site. Combined with a plain-text typing interface (no live error highlighting to warn you mid-test, per reported descriptions), this makes accuracy discipline built during practice more important here than on some other exams -- you won't get the same in-test visual feedback to catch mistakes as you go.
Practice for this exam
भारत त्योहारों का देश है, और हर त्योहार अपने साथ खुशी और रंग लेकर आता है। दीवाली में घरों को दीयों और रंगोली से सजाया जाता है, जबकि होली में लोग एक-दूसरे को रंग लगाकर प्यार बांटते हैं। हर राज्य और हर समुदाय के अपने अलग रीति-रिवाज होते हैं, फिर भी त्योहारों के पीछे की भावना एक जैसी रहती है -- परिवार के साथ समय बिताना और नई शुरुआत का स्वागत करना। मिठाइयों की खुशबू और रोशनी से जगमगाते घर हर त्योहार को यादगार बना देते हैं। भारत में मानसून का मौसम हर किसी के लिए खास मायने रखता है। जून के महीने में जब पहली बारिश आती है, तो खेतों की मिट्टी से उठने वाली सोंधी खुशबू मन को सुकून देती है। किसान इस मौसम का बेसब्री से इंतजार करते हैं क्योंकि उनकी फसल की पूरी उम्मीद इसी बारिश पर टिकी होती है। बच्चे बारिश में भीगकर खेलना पसंद करते हैं, जबकि बड़े लोग गरमागरम चाय और पकौड़ों का आनंद लेते हैं। मानसून सिर्फ मौसम नहीं, बल्कि पूरे देश की जिंदगी का हिस्सा है। भारतीय रसोई में स्वाद और परंपरा का अनोखा मेल देखने को मिलता है। हर घर में दाल-चावल बनाने का अपना खास तरीका होता है, जो पीढ़ी दर पीढ़ी चला आता है। त्योहारों पर पूरा परिवार मिलकर खाना बनाता है, और यही साथ मिलकर काम करना रिश्तों को और मजबूत बनाता है। मसालों की खुशबू पूरे घर में फैल जाती है, और खाने की मेज पर बैठकर बातें करना दिन का सबसे सुकून भरा पल होता है। काम पर हर दिन कुछ नया सीखने को मिलता है। सुबह दफ्तर पहुंचते ही सबसे पहले ईमेल देखना और दिन की योजना बनाना जरूरी होता है। मीटिंग में सहकर्मियों के साथ विचार साझा करना काम को आसान बना देता है। दोपहर के भोजन के बाद थोड़ी देर टहलना दिमाग को ताजा रखता है। शाम को घर लौटते समय ट्रैफिक जरूर धीमा कर देता है, लेकिन दिन भर की मेहनत का संतोष हर थकान को हल्का कर देता है। पढ़ाई सिर्फ किताबों तक सीमित नहीं होती, यह जिंदगी को समझने का एक तरीका है। स्कूल के पुस्तकालय में घंटों बिताकर नई-नई किताबें पढ़ना बचपन की सबसे प्यारी यादों में से एक है। शिक्षक जब कोई कहानी सुनाते हैं, तो पूरी कक्षा खामोश होकर सुनती है। आजकल इंटरनेट ने सीखने के तरीके को पूरी तरह बदल दिया है, फिर भी किताब के पन्नों को पलटने का अपना ही मजा है। असली ज्ञान वही है जो जिज्ञासा से जन्म लेता है।
30-day preparation plan
Week 1 -- build Kruti Dev fluency specifically, if you haven't already. This Sachivalaya is reported to use Kruti Dev 010 for Hindi, not InScript -- if your Hindi practice elsewhere has been InScript-based, this is a real, separate skill to build from where you are now, not a small adjustment.
Week 2 -- practice without live error highlighting. Reported descriptions of this test's interface mention no word/error highlighting and no auto-scrolling -- closer to typing blind into a plain box. Turn off any visual assist features in your own practice sessions this week to build the habit of self-monitoring accuracy without them.
Week 3 -- tighten your error margin toward ~1.5%, not the more common 5%. If you've been training against SSC/RRB's more forgiving error tolerance, recalibrate specifically for this exam's reportedly stricter standard -- a run that would pass elsewhere may not clear this bar.
Week 4 -- know your post's specific WPM target. Most posts here share a 30 WPM bar in both languages, but Prativedak (Reporter) needs 35 WPM -- confirm which target applies to your post and spend this week's practice runs at or above it with margin.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Practicing Hindi typing on InScript when this Sachivalaya is reported to use Kruti Dev 010 specifically.
- Relying on in-test error/word highlighting to catch mistakes -- reported descriptions say this interface has none.
- Calibrating accuracy practice against the more common 5% error tolerance instead of this exam's reportedly stricter ~1.5% ceiling.
- Assuming every post shares the same 30 WPM target -- Prativedak (Reporter) is reported at a higher 35 WPM.
