AIIMS CRE Typing Interface Features:
The typing passage will be displayed at the top of the screen, while the designated typing area will be located directly below it.
Earlier in AIIMS typing exams, features like Word Highlighting, Error Highlighting, and Auto-Scrolling were enabled. However, during recent AIIMS CRE exams, all these features were disabled. Therefore, AR Typing Platform strongly suggests practicing without any assistance features.
The backspace key is fully enabled, allowing candidates to correct any errors at any time during the typing test.
To qualify, a candidate must have typed a minimum of 2625 keystrokes in English or 2250 keystrokes in Hindi. Failing to do so will result in an "Insufficient Attempt" remark.
AIIMS CRE Typing Test Error Evaluation (Mathematical Formula)
Error evaluation will only be performed after you type the minimum required keystrokes (2625 in English or 2250 in Hindi). If you fail to type the minimum keystrokes, your attempt will be marked as Insufficient Attempt and will not be evaluated further.
Step 1: Calculate Total Mistakes
Each Half Mistake contributes to 0.5 of a Full Mistake.
Total_Mistakes = Full_Mistakes + (Half_Mistakes / 2)Step 2: Calculate Penalty
For each mistake word, a penalty of 50 strokes/characters or 10 words (5 strokes = 1 word) is applied.
Penalty = 50 * Total_MistakesStep 3: Calculate Gross & Net Speed
Gross_Speed = Total_Keystrokes_Typed / (5 * 15)Net_Speed = (Total_Keystrokes_Typed - Penalty) / (5 * 15)
Accuracy Percentage (%)
Important- There is no specific error relaxation mentioned in the official AIIMS CRE notification.
- However, according to previous instructions, candidates must maintain a high level of accuracy percentage to make it to the merit list.
- Accuracy Percentage(%) = (Net Speed / Gross Speed) * 100
Typing Thumb Rule:
Candidates are strongly advised to practice regularly for the AIIMS CRE typing tests in order to achieve a high level of accuracy, which is crucial for securing a top position on the merit list. Consistent practice not only helps improve accuracy but also enhances typing speed, increasing the likelihood of achieving a higher score and significantly boosting chances of selection.
