04How to Select Language? — भाषा चयनLanguage selection application form stage pe hoti hai — exam date se pehle. Ek baar submit ho gaya, change nahi hota. Dono English aur Hindi tests mandatory hain.Language selection application form submit karte waqt hoti hai. Once you select your English and Hindi preference, you cannot change it later. Hindi ke liye Remington GAIL ya Inscript layout ka choice bhi application stage pe hi hota hai.Both English and Hindi typing tests are mandatory. You must appear in both to receive the CPCT score card.Important — Score Card StatusCPCT score card shows separate "Qualified" or "Not Qualified" status for English typing and Hindi typing. If you pass English (30+ NWPM) but fail Hindi (below 20 NWPM), your score card will show "Qualified" for English and "Not Qualified" for Hindi. This directly affects your eligibility for MP government clerical posts.

06Backspace Rules — correction policyCPCT mein backspace ALLOWED hai. Arrow keys, delete key, aur mouse bhi use kar sakte ho test ke dauran.Backspace: ALLOWEDCPCT "Unrestricted Type" methodology use karta hai. You can use backspace, arrow keys, delete key, and mouse during the test. However, only correct words count toward your Net Words score.Strategy: Practice accurate typing to minimize corrections. If you type 400 words in 15 minutes but 100 are incorrect:400 words typed, 100 incorrect → NWPM = 300 ÷ 15 = 20 NWPM (FAIL — required 30)350 accurate words → NWPM = 350 ÷ 15 = 23.33 NWPM (closer, but still need more)460 accurate words → NWPM = 460 ÷ 15 = 30.67 NWPM ✓ PASSBackspace use karo corrections ke liye — lekin usse zyada, pehli baar sahi type karne ki koshish karo. Har correction mein time waste hota hai jo aur accurate words type karne mein laga sakte the.
