Aspirants are encouraged to prepare seriously for the DDA ASO & JSA English and Hindi typing examinations by developing the required typing speed of 35 words per minute in English and 30 words per minute in Hindi, along with strong accuracy. It is important to note that every incorrectly typed word carries a penalty equal to ten times the total errors, which may lead to a reduction of around one word per minute in the final typing speed. Hence, candidates should concentrate not only on achieving the prescribed speed but also on minimizing mistakes to ensure a successful outcome.
