[Note : NO rounding off to be done e.g. FM=4 & HM=7, then Total=7.5] (2) Standard Average Word length taken as 5 strokes.

I. CALCULATION OF SPEED :

Calculation Based

For Example of a 10 minutes typing test/ DEST, the calculation will be

TYPING TEST (in w.p.m.)
Total No. of Strokes – Penalty
e.g. 3,000-1,000 = 2,000 = 40 w.p.m.
50 = 50

CALCULATION OF ACCURACY

In Case of need for checking accuracy, it shall be calculated as follows:

TYPING TEST (in w.p.m.) Accuracy = Net Typing Speed X 100 Gross Typing Speed e.g. Accuracy = 40 X 100 = 80% = 50

AIIMS CRE 4 EVALUATION CRITERIA – STENOGRAPHY/SHORTHAND TEST [ENGLISH/HINDI – NATURE OF MISTAKES

FULL MISTAKES : The following mistakes are treated as full mistakes :-

Omission of every word or a figure that occurs there in the dictated passage.

Substitution of every word or figure not occurring there in the dictated passage.

Note : substitution of words with numerals or vice-versa in case of a figure or financial terms is allowed e.g. ’20,000 tonnes’ typed as ‘Twenty Thousand tonnes’ or vice-versa, ‘Rs. One Thousand’ substituted as ‘Rs. 1000/-‘ or vice-versa, but not allowed in case of years e.g. ‘1950’ written as ‘Nineteen Fifty’ or ‘Nineteen Hundred Fifty’].

उदाहरण – ‘ 20,000 टन’ को ‘बीस हजार टन’ या इसके तवपरीि; एक हज़ार रूपए को 1,000 रूपए/रु. 1,000 या इसके तवपरीि); परन्तु वर्षों के मामले में ऐसे करने की अनुमजि नही िं है (उदा. – ‘1950’ को ‘उन्नीस सौ पिास’)

Addition/Repetition of every word or figure not occurring in the dictated passage.

Note : In case of a group of words or figures omitted/substituted (replaced)/added/repeated, number of mistakes will be equal to actually spoken number of words/numbers/numerals].

HALF MISTAKES :

The following are treated as half mistakes :-

Spelling Errors: Mis-spellings due to omission, addition, substitution, or transposition of letter(s) in a word count as half mistakes, unless they form a meaningful word (treated as substitution/full mistake).
Examples: ‘want’ typed as ‘waant’ (repetition), ‘wnt’ (omission), ‘waat’ (substitution), or ‘wnat’ (transposition) – half mistake; but ‘wants’, ‘wanted’, or ‘wanting’ – full mistake.
Hindi Note: Grammatically correct alternate spellings are exempt due to variations in letter formation/combination (sandhi-vichhed) across Hindi fonts/keyboards.

. (substitution – Full Mistake)]. उदाहरण – ‘अांिरराष्ट्र ीय’ को ‘अांिराष्ट्र ीय’; ‘अत्यतधक’ को ‘अत्यातधक’; ‘जागृि’ को ‘जाग्रि’; श्रीमिी को श्रीमति (अशुद्ध विडनी – आधी गलिी), परन्तु ‘हैं’ को ‘है’; ‘राजतनतिक’ को ‘राजनीतिज्ञ’ (प्रतिस्थापन – पूणड गलिी)
- Mis-spelling of names of popular personalities/leaders/institutions/Govt. Bodies/Countries [e.g. ‘Lok Sabha’ typed as ‘Lok Sabah’; ‘Dr. Rajendra Prasad’ typed as ‘Dr. Rajender Prasad’; ‘India’ typed as ‘Indiya’]. उदाहरण – ‘लोकसभा’ को ‘लोकसबा’; ‘ऱ्ॉ. राजेंद्र प्रसाद’ को ‘ऱ्ॉ. राजेंदर प्रसाद’; ‘अमरीका’ को ‘अमेररका’

Other Notable Points

1: If a candidate repeats the same spelling mistake deserves ignorance only if the error type remains identical (e.g., ‘spelling’ typed repeatedly as ‘speling’); different error forms (e.g., ‘seplling’) will have penalty separately.

2: For Hindi, grammatically correct alternate spellings will have exemption due to variations in letter formation/combination (sandhi-vichhed) across different fonts/keyboards

Joining/Disjoining Errors: Joining separate words or splitting compound words counts as a full mistake.

Examples: ‘of course’ as ‘ofcourse’; ‘in spite of’ as ‘inspite of’; ‘grandparents’ as ‘grand parents’; ‘within’ as ‘with in’

उदाहरण – ‘महानगर’ को ‘महा नगर’; ‘जलपान’ को ‘जल पान’; ‘उच्च तविार’ को ‘उच्चतविार’; ‘सांसद सदस्य’ को ‘सांसदसदस्य’

AIIMS CRE 4 Transposition of Words:

Swapping up to two consecutive words in a sentence counts as one half mistake (transposed words not marked individually).

Example: ‘disconnected from the source’ typed as ‘disconnected the from source’.

उदाहरण – ‘यद्तप मैं ऐसा नही ां सोििा’ को ‘यद्तप ऐसा मैं नही ां सोििा’

Punctuation Marks : Punctuation Errors: Omission, addition, or substitution of full stop/question mark (excluding other punctuation like commas); substituting full stop/question mark with comma or vice versa counts as a full mistake.

Spacing Spacing Errors with Punctuation: Adding space before punctuation marks or omitting space after them (full-stop, comma, etc.) per grammar rules counts as a half mistake.

Examples: ‘Therefore, it is’ typed as ‘Therefore , it is’ or ‘Therefore,it is’; ‘Work has been done.’ as ‘Work has been done

उदाहरण – ‘इसतलए, ऐसा है’ को ‘इसतलए , ऐसा है’ या ‘इसतलए,ऐसा है’ However, extra space(s) between two words or after punctuation marks is ignored if Right Justification is done in computer.

As an exception, even inclusion of space given before Purna-Viram or Prashn-Chinh is allowed in case of Hindi

उदाहरण – ‘काम हो िुका है।‘ या ‘काम हो िुका है ।‘, दोनोां स्वीकायड हैं।

Abbreviations : Non-Standard Abbreviations: Use of arbitrary or unfamiliar abbreviations counts as a full mistake.

Examples: ‘R.B.’ for ‘Rashtrapati Bhawan’; ‘thru’ for ‘through’; ‘hon’bly’ for ‘honourably’. Standard abbreviations are permitted, e.g., ‘Hon’ble/Hon./hon.’ for ‘Honourable’, ‘MP’ for ‘Member of Parliament’, ‘Prof.’ for ‘Professor’

.]. उदाहरण के तलए -‘राष्ट्र पति भवन’ को ‘रा .भ.’; या ‘माननीय महोदय’ को ‘मा .महो.’]। हालातक, मानक लघरूप स्वीकायड ह [उदाहरण के तलए -‘ऱ्ॉक्टर’ को ‘ऱ्ॉ.’

Non-Capitalization :

Use of small for capital letters (Not applicable in Hindi Language) :

At the beginning of a sentence (where a full stop exists in the master/test passage) and also in case of a full stop mistakenly added by candidate;

Proper nouns (i.e. specific names of an individual/person, country, place, designation);

Standard Titles [e.g. Mr., Ms., Mrs., Sh., Dr. etc.];

Standard Abbreviations [e.g. ‘mp’ for ‘MP’ abb. of ‘Member of Parliament’, or ‘pm’ for ‘PM’ abb. of ‘Prime Minister’etc.]; and

Parliamentary term(s) viz. Name of a Committee/Commission/Bill/Act/Motion including the term itself when the context relates to Legislative Business/Parliament [e.g. ‘Right to Information Act, 2005’ typed as ‘right to information act, 2005’ – three half mistakes; ‘President’s Address’ typed as ‘president’s address’ – two half mistakes].

Notable Points

Note : Except in (a) above, repetition of same non-capitalization mistake is to be ignorable.

1 : Alternate spellings of words in the passage (Oxford/British English spellings) as available in the ‘Dictionary.com’ are allowable in case of English Passages (e.g. ‘organisation’ and ‘organization’, ‘program’ and ‘programme’ etc.). उदाहरण के तलए – ‘ आरम्भ िथा आरां भ’; ‘बिडन’ िथा ‘बरिन’ इत्यातद

2 : Multiple Errors in a Single Word: Different error types within one word are identifiable but will get penalty as only one full mistake (maximum penalty: one full mistake).

3 : No mistake is for ‘Wrong paragraphing/Non-paragraphing/Use or non-use of Tab or 5 spaces for paragraphing.

4 : Even single space after Full Stops is acceptable in case of the English Test.

5 : Shorthand Marking Scheme: Shorthand transcription score is on the basis of zero errors as full marks (100), with a standard 5% error tolerance is equivalent to 40 marks (typical qualifying score).

For every 1% reduction in errors below 5%, add 12 marks to the base 40 (e.g., 0% errors = 100 marks)

6 : To convert the %age of mistakes into marks, 40 marks will be awarded for 5% mistakes. For every 1% less mistakes, 12 marks on pro-rata
