# RSSB sets 9-mark minimum in each of 4 LDC typing papers 2026-10-23T06:27:30+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) will hold the second phase of the LDC Grade-II recruitment examination from 21 December. The computer-based test comprises four papers of 25 marks each: Hindi typing speed, English typing speed, Hindi proficiency, and English proficiency. Candidates must score a minimum of 9 marks in each paper individually. Typing tests allow 10 minutes per language, 400 words in Hindi and 500 words in English. SC-ST candidates receive a 5 percent relaxation in the minimum marks per paper. A mock-test link will be released on the board’s website about 15 days before the exam. Over 30,000 candidates who cleared the written test, held on 5 July, are eligible for this phase. The board had advertised 10,644 LDC posts, attracting 5.81 lakh applications, 4.45 lakh candidates appeared for the written exam. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The four-paper typing test with separate minimum qualifying marks in Hindi and English replaces a single combined proficiency exam, raising the bar for candidates who cleared the written phase. The 9-out-of-25 cut-off per paper means a candidate strong in one language but weak in the other cannot compensate. For 10,644 posts and over 30,000 candidates in Phase II, the board’s stipulation of speed plus accuracy, every wrong or skipped character costs the mark, will thin the field further. SC-ST aspirants get a 5 percent relaxation in each paper’s minimum. The mock-test link, available 15 days before 21 December, is the only practice window the board provides. ## Coverage - bhaskar.com Leads with exam dates and mark details, no critical or political framing.
