What Is the DEST? A Quick Recap
The DEST is a 15-minute computer typing test. For the Postman / Mail Guard exam:
- Type 600 key depressions (±5%) in English
- Maximum marks: 25
- Qualifying marks: 15 for General, OBC and EWS (60%). 12.5 for SC, ST and PwD (50%)
- Case sensitive. Capital and small letters must match exactly
- Backspace does not work. Use the arrow keys or mouse with the Delete key
- No negative marking for wrong words
600 keys in 15 minutes is only 40 keys a minute. That is slow and comfortable, so focus on accuracy, not speed.
8-Day Preparation Plan Before 1 November
- Day 1–2: Practise typing short English paragraphs daily for 15 minutes.
- Day 3–4: Stop using Backspace. Correct mistakes using only the arrow keys and Delete.
- Day 5–6: Pay close attention to capital letters, full stops and spellings.
- Day 7: Take 2–3 full 15-minute mock tests with a timer.
- Day 8: Rest, check your centre and time, and keep your ID ready.
What to Carry on the DEST Day
- Admit card or intimation letter (as instructed by your division)
- A valid photo ID
- A pen for signing the evaluated answer sheet
