Greetings to Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad, the Union Minister for Communications & Information Technology and Law & Justice
श्री रवि शंकर प्रसाद 27 मई, 2014 को नई दिल्ली में केन्द्रीय संचार और सूचना प्रौद्योगिकी मंत्री के रूप में कार्यभार संभालते हुए ।
Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad taking charge as the Union Minister for Communications and Information Technology, in New Delhi on May 27, 2014.

Two –day Workshop on 7th CPC started by AIPEU ,Group-C, CHQ in New Delhi
The much awaited two-day historic national
work-shop on 7th CPC
memorandum on P-III specific issues was
started at 11 AM on 26.05.2014 in Saha Auditorium, 2, Raj Niwas Marg,
New Delhi-54.
The workshop was inaugurated by Com. K
K N Kutty, President, Confederation of Central Govt. Employees and Workers and addressed by
Com. S K Vyas, Ex-Secretary General, Confederation and Com. Bhrigu
Bhattacharya, Secretary General, Civil Accounts Federation.
In his introductory speech, Com. M
Krishnan, General Secretary, AIPEU, Group-C, CHQ briefed the history of setting
up of 7th CPC and the role of Confederation and contribution of NFPE
in this regard. In his inaugural speech, Com. Kutty narrated the plans and policies
of the Confederation for demanding the minimum need based salary and the steps
taken by it for arriving at a unanimity of opinion by the affiliates. For the
purpose, confederation is working hard day and night and collecting information
from different cities for calculating the minimum need based salary as per the
formula designed by 15th ILC. Rough calculation at this stage shows
a hike of more than 3.4 times. However, final calculation will be done with
unanimous opinion of all affiliates before discussing the same in JCM National
Council. Confederation is also planning for demanding 5 % annual increment and 2 such increments on
promotion.
Addressing the Workshop Com. Vyas told
that the minimum need based wage will
not be the minimum wage but more that that since after acceptance of the recommendations of the 6th
CPC, there is no Group-D employees and the Group-C employees is either skilled
or semi-skilled and not unskilled. While submitting the common memorandum, the
Confederation should demand for parity in pension. A pensioner should be able
to maintain the same standard of living as he used to maintain before
retirement. While countries like Sri
Lanka offers 75%, Bangla Desh 80%, 50% of the last pay drawn to the CG
employees in India is illogical. It should be at least 67% of the last pay
drawn according to Com. Vyas who also criticized the New Pension Scheme. The
whole NPS is a voluntary one which needs to be scrapped out. The Central Govt.
employees should continue under the statutory pension scheme since the NPS is
discriminating the employees before and after 01.01.2004. A pension which is
adequate, and revised every 5 year with
parity is needed – Com. Vyas told. Wage has two concepts – one is visible ,
i.e. Salary and the other is invisible , i. e. Pension. So the CPC while
considering wage revision should take care of both the aspects.
Thanking such a nice effort in
conducting a workshop on 7th CPC by AIPEU, Group-C, CHQ with
involvement of grass root level leaders preferably the Divisional Secretaries,
Com. Bhattacharya told that the common memorandum to be prepared and presented
by the Confederation should also highlight the problems faced by the Central
Govt. establishments due to downsizing, contractorization, outsourcing etc. He
suggested that other organizations, unions and associations should follow such
noble paths and prepare their respective memorandum accordingly.
The Seminar
A seminar was organized at 3 PM which was addressed by Shri Alok
Saxena, DDG and Secretary, Postal Board. In his deliberation he guided the
unions/associations regarding preparation of a genuine and logical memorandum. The memorandum prepared by the Unions /
associations and by the Department for a specific cadre should go in one
direction and should not confuse the Commission in any manner. The memorandum
should be designed in the way the CPC examines it. Factors like minimum
educational qualification , nature of duties and job profile assigned to a
particular cadre, parity with other cadre and historical relativities should be
given priority while preparing a memorandum. He suggested many valuable points
and give nice tips for preparing a suitable memorandum exclusively for postal
Assistant cadre which is unique and can not be compared with similar assistants
in any other Central Govt. establishments.
Afternoon Session
Com. M Krishnan read out the draft
memorandum prepared by the CHQ chapter wise. Only two chapters could be
finished on 26.05.2914. delegates were allowed to suggest
additions/modifications on each and every point. Many suggestions were given by
the delegates which were noted by the CHQ for modification of the draft
memorandum. Discussion on rest chapters will continue on 27.05.2014.

Com. R Shivnarayan, our CHQ president, it was also attended by Com. K V Sridharan, ex-General Secretary, CHQ, Com.

Postal Assistant Exam : Typing & Computer Test information
Disclaimer:
- All the Information provided in this post are Compiled by
A. Praveen Kumar, SPM, Papannapet SO-502303 Medak Division, Telangana State for
in good faith of Postal Assistant exam aspirants. Author of blog does not
accepts any responsibility in relation to the accuracy, completeness,
usefulness or otherwise, of the contents.
Postal
Assistant Exam Typing & Computer test information
Part-II will be of 100
marks. Time duration is of 30 minutes (15 minutes each for computer typing test
and Date entry test respectively)
Part-II
will be of qualifying nature with minimum of 40% for OC, 37% for BC and 33% for
SC /ST candidates.
The final merit
shall be prepared on the basis of the aggregate marks obtained by the
Applicants in the Aptitude Test (Paper I) only subject to their qualifying in
Computer/Typing test (Paper II). i.e., there will be no marks for Typing/Data
entry test. You have to just qualify the minimum
criteria in Paper-2 and final merit list shall be prepared on the basis of
marks of Paper-I only.
Typing Test Pattern: -
Typing test will be divided in to two sections:
1) Computer typing Test:
This test will
evaluate Candidate’s Computer typing efficiency. Candidates are required to
type a passage in English/Hindi (450 words passage for English& 375 words
passage for Hindi) within the duration of 15 minutes.
Typing Speed: - Recommended typing speed for selection is 25-30 words per minute (WPM).
Only candidates
opting for Hindi script test will have to give Hindi typing test. It’s upon
your personal preference. English typing is considered easier to learn and
pass. You can choose either English or Hindi for typing test.
The typing test and
test of data entry operations will be conducted on Computer key board but not
on type writer.
2) Data-Entry test:
This test will
evaluate Candidates data-entry efficiency. Candidates are required to type
figures, letters and manuscript data within the duration of 15 minutes.
Typing Speed and
Accuracy tests allow you to check a candidate's typing speed and accuracy automatically
based on existing documents or documents you create.
Data Entry Speed and
Accuracy tests allow you to check a candidate's alphanumeric or numeric data
entry speed and accuracy automatically; based on existing forms
Qualifying Criterion & Evaluation
Criterion for Paper II:
There
were two Tests running on personal computer i.e. Typing and Data Entry test
each is of 15 minutes duration. Marks obtained in Typing and Data Entry
test have been added and the minimum qualifying criterion is applied i.e. 40%
(40Marks) marks for OC, 37% (37 Marks) for OBC and 33% (33 Marks) for SC / ST
for "Qualifying" the computer typing / data entry test.
Example: If an OC candidate scores 23 Marks in Typing Test and scores 18 Marks
in Data Entry "Qualifies" with Total Score as 41.
Evaluation
Criterion:-
For Typing Test (in English) Net Speed
30 WPM = 20 Marks. Application software evaluates the Typing test for
correctness and speed.
For Typing Test (in Hindi) Net Speed
25 WPM = 20 Marks. Application software evaluates the Typing test for
correctness and speed.
For Data Entry Test (English)
Applicant is given 50 Alphanumeric Forms each of 50 characters (7 fields) to do
the data entry in 15 Mts. Application software evaluates the forms for
correctness and speed. Each completely Correct Form scores 1 mark. Twenty
Correct Data Entered Forms = 20 Marks. Form’s mark (1) has been equally divided
into number of field in that record. i.e. if 3 fields are correct in a Form of
7 fields then the candidate gets 1*3/7=.43 for that Form.
For Data Entry Test (Hindi): Applicant
is given printed hard copy to do the data entry using computer in 15 Mts.
Correctness and speed has been evaluated manually similar to Data Entry Test
(English).
The
passage may contain many difficult words, punctuations, capital words etc. So
be very careful while typing. Each
word carries equal marks. So if you type 200 words (Every five correct key
strokes consist a word) but all correctly then you are considered qualified.
Suppose if anybody types with a speed of 30 wpm and completes the entire
paragraph but makes lots of mistakes his true speed would not be 30 wpm. It
would be the time taken to write the correct words not the wrong words. Hence
the speed would drop. Similarly if you only type 200 words (all correct) and
leave the remaining, then the remaining would be considered negative. It is my
guess and believe it is so. Otherwise how they would judge the speed and accuracy
The
below formula is my guess only and not officially announced by India Post.
India post not mentioned, how they would judge the speed and accuracy.
1.
For typing test, calculation will be like
net
typing speed * 2/3 (or)
net
typing speed / 30 (qualification marks decided by examiners) * 20 (minimum cut
off).
Net speed in type*2/3= type marks...
Example
if net type speed is 36...the
marks
will be 36*2/3=24....and D.E
marks
will be added.
Backspace is allowed until you
press space bar.. be
concentrated.. maintain
accuracy.You cannot do
backspace once you press space
bar. so practice
good and type well.
It
will be conducted on some software’s like Typing Master etc...and not on word
or excel.
So be very
careful while typing. Soon after the computer typing exam your result will be
displayed on the computer monitor like your average speed, errors you have done
while typing etc.

2. For Data Entry, twenty Correct Data Entered Forms = 20 Marks.
Form’s mark (1) has been equally divided into number of field in that record.
i.e. if 3 fields are correct in a Form of 7 fields then the candidate gets
1*3/7=.43 for that Form.
In data entry
exam you will be given data like address, phone numbers etc. Here also the cut
off may be around 2500 keystrokes per minute. This test is much easier than the
above one. This test mainly concentrates on the speed of number entering
without error. After the completion of exam the result will be appeared on the
screen.
You can
practice data entry please visit the following web sites
Typing tests measure two things, speed and mistakes, so when
you take typing speed test, do not look only at your speed, look also at the
number of your mistakes and concentrate on reducing your mistakes rather than
increasing your typing speed. The end result will be increased productivity.
WPM
WPM is an abbreviation of Words-Per-Minute. Confusingly this does not
literally mean whole words, as one might find in a dictionary, but rather
word-units.
For speed to be comparable, it must be measured in standard units. In
the case of typing speed if we used actual words for the WPM measurement then
typing speed test results would not be comparable unless everyone used the same
texts for their respective typing speed tests - which would give us the
additional factor of memorisation so, the word-units we use are artificial.
One word-unit is five keystrokes. Thus, "typed" is one
word-unit, "type on it" is two word-units (spaces count as keystrokes
too).
Typing technique
Make sure you feel
comfortable at your computer. Adjust your chair so your arms comfortably reach
the table at a 90-degree angle. Make sure your wrists are straight. Sit up
straight in your chair with your back resting against the chair. Place both
feet on the ground.
Whether you’re
taking a typing test, preparation is an important
factor in the outcome. The best way to prepare is to work on your technique;
sit comfortably and practice tests that are similar to the one you’ll have to
take.
Use All Your Fingers
Learn how to type using all your fingers
– not just your two pointer fingers. Even though you may be able to type
quickly with two fingers, you can type even faster with practice if you use all
your fingers to do the work. Typing lessons can help you learn which finger to
use to type each letter. This memorization can help your brain direct your
fingers to the letters you need without requiring you to look at the keys. As
you teach your fingers to find the keys, you can look at the screen to see what
you’re typing instead of watching your fingers, which will further increase
your typing speed.
Avoid Seeing:
Yes, you should not see the keyboard while you type. You
should have military level of discipline. Look at the screen or the source
paper. After you are familiar with the finger placements you can try this.
While riding bicycle, what will you see? The road or the pedals
Practice a Similar Test
Not
all typing tests are the same. You might take a three- or five-minute typing
test, or it may be longer. The test might not allow you to press the backspace
key. It might be in the form of a game, or it might be a simple paragraph you
must read and copy. If you can, find out the format of the timed typing test
you’ll be taking. Look on-line for free on-line typing tests that are similar
to what you might encounter during your test.
Keep Corrections to a Minimum
While
it’s important to type quickly with as much accuracy as possible, going back to
correct mistakes can slow down your typing speed considerably. Practice finding
the correct keys the first time so you don’t have to worry about errors. Use
discretion when choosing which errors to go back and correct.
The
material you are tested on will most likely be something you’ve never seen
before. Chances are you won’t have an opportunity to read over the material
beforehand. To prepare for your test, practice typing things with which you’re
not familiar. Don’t worry about whether you understand what you’re typing; just
focus on typing it correctly.
Also,
be aware that not all computer keyboards feel the same way. Although it will
still be a QWERTY keyboard, which is the standard computer keyboard, the keys
may feel a little different when you type on it. They might stick a little more
or be a little touchier than the ones on the keyboard you use to practice.
Another thing to consider is your surroundings. If you’re not used to typing in
different surroundings, it may be a good idea to try out a new location. Doing
these things might help you feel more relaxed when you take your typing test.
Touch Typing
Touch
typing is typing without looking at the keyboard. The idea is to teach your
fingers the location of each keys. Typing Speed is measured in Words
Per Minute (WPM), commonly used in typing test examination
and recruitment. For the purposes of WPM measurement a word is standardized to
five characters or keystrokes. Therefore, “write” counts as one word, but
“understand” counts as two words and blank space also count as one character.
Key ideas
1) Place your indexes on 'F' and 'J'.
2) Use same finger all time to type each key.
3) Don't look at the keyboard, your eyes should always look
at the screen
NATURE OF MISTAKES
A. Full Mistakes: The following errors are treated as full
mistakes:--
-- For every omission of word/ figure.
-- For every substitution of a wrong word /figure.
-- For every addition of a word / figure not found in the
passage.
B. Half Mistakes: The following errors are treated as half mistakes:
(i) Spacing Errors: Where no space is provided between two
words, e.g. ‘Ihope’ or undesired space is provided between the words or letters
of a word e.g. hope I have, ‘I hxxave’.
(ii) For every spelling error committed by way of repetition,
or addition or transposition or omission or substitution of a letter/letters,
e.g. the word
‘spelling’ typed as ‘seeplings’ etc.
(iii) Wrong Capitalisation: Wrong use of capital letter for
small letter and vice-versa. (This does not apply to Hindi typewriting
scripts).
