Bangladesh Typing Tests — BPSC & Civil Service
Bangladesh Public Service Commission (BPSC) and lower-tier government recruitment bodies run typing skill tests for clerical, computer-operator, and stenographer cadres. The dominant typing layout in Bangladesh is split between the legacy Bijoy keyboard (still used in older offices and publishing) and Bangla Unicode (Avro / InScript) on modern online test platforms.

Frequently asked questions
For 2025-2026 recruitments, Avro Unicode is the safer choice. Modern BPSC online platforms default to Unicode rendering. Bijoy is still allowed in some older notifications and remains common in publishing and DTP, but is not the standard on government online tests.
Around 25-30 WPM Bangla on a 5-minute passage. The exact cutoff varies by recruitment year and ministry; always check the current notification PDF.
Most Office Assistant and Data Entry posts test Bangla primarily. Bilingual posts in foreign affairs, banking, and inter-ministry communication add an English typing session, typically at 35-40 WPM.
Our Bangladesh BPSC typing test page offers full Bangla typing passages with Net WPM and accuracy scoring. The simulator works with both Avro Unicode and Bijoy keyboard variants.
Net WPM equals Gross WPM minus errors per minute, with a typical accuracy threshold of 95% for selection consideration. Most BPSC tests are qualifying — clearing the cutoff is sufficient; speed beyond cutoff doesn't earn merit marks.
Bangla-typing aspirants targeting Indian recruitments will find the WBPSC Bengali (West Bengal) typing test highly transferable — same script, same layout. Sri Lanka PSC is the adjacent South Asian civil service with English-medium preparation overlap.
