Skill tests for job seekers in India
In India the common screened roles are BPO non-voice support, data entry, government clerical typing exams, and junior developer positions. The exam-style typing test matters more here than elsewhere.

Start with these three
Typing testSpeed and accuracy tests in the formats BPO, chat-support and clerical screenings use.
Data entry testKeystrokes-per-hour tests on codes, numbers and invoice fields, scored per record.
SQL testA 10-question test on SELECT, joins, GROUP BY, NULL and keys.
How screening usually works here
- Government clerical exams use a 10-minute qualifying typing test, usually around 35 WPM in English; the government format here matches it.
- BPO non-voice screens are 60-second tests at 30–40 WPM plus a written reply.
- Data-entry operator exams add a numeric 10-key component.
- Junior tech screenings are code-reading quizzes; the Python, PHP and SQL tests follow that format.
