Is there negative marking in the Computer Operator-cum-Typist Part A test?

No. The 2026 advertisement lists Part A as a 50-mark, 30-minute test with no negative marking, so attempt every question.

How many marks do I need to qualify in the Technical Assistant written test?

The advertisement sets the qualifying mark at 80 out of 200. This is a minimum, not a cut-off, so aim well above it.

What typing accuracy is required for Computer Operator-cum-Typist?

The qualifying minimum is 90 per cent for English typing and 85 per cent for Hindi typing. Hindi typing uses the Remington Gail layout and Mangal font.

Has the Technical Assistant exam date been announced?

As of 8 October 2026 no date is listed on the court's recruitment page. Check the official notices page for updates.

How many full mock tests should I take before the exam?

A common plan is two full mocks a week in the three weeks before the exam, then one every second day in the final fortnight. Review each one before taking the next.

Are Patna High Court mock tests useful if I am applying for more than one post?

Yes, but practise each post's pattern separately. The papers differ in subjects, timing and negative marking, so a single generic test will not match them.

Patna High Court Assistant Mock Test Series 2026 - 5 Written, 1 Screening and 4 Sectional Tests

~~₹399~~₹99

Patna High Court fills staff posts through separate recruitment exams, so a useful Patna High Court mock test has to match the post you are targeting. The Technical Assistant paper tests six computer science subjects. The Computer Operator-cum-Typist exam adds two typing tests. The Ex-Cadre Assistant exam is built around aptitude, language and computer skills. One generic test cannot prepare you for all three.

This page explains which tests to take, how to use them and what to measure. As of 8 October 2026 the court has not announced a Technical Assistant exam date, so there is time to build a routine. Pattern details come from the court's own advertisements.

Types of Patna High Court mock tests

Test type	What it covers	When to take it
Subject-wise test	One technical subject for Technical Assistant, such as data structures, networks or databases	After finishing each subject
Part A mock	The 50-mark objective test for Computer Operator-cum-Typist	Weekly, in 30 minutes
Typing drill	English passages of 400 words and Hindi passages of 300 words, 10 minutes each	Daily
Preliminary-style mock	The screening paper, such as the 50-question Ex-Cadre Assistant test	Once your basics are ready

Pattern to practise in

Post and stage	Marks	Time	Negative marking
Technical Assistant, preliminary (if held)	100	2 hours	0.25 per wrong answer
Technical Assistant, written	200	2 hours	Not stated in the advertisement
Computer Operator-cum-Typist, Part A	50	30 minutes	None
Computer Operator-cum-Typist, typing	100 each	10 minutes each	Scored on accuracy
Ex-Cadre Assistant, preliminary	50	60 minutes	0.25 per wrong answer
Ex-Cadre Assistant, written	100	90 minutes	0.25 per wrong answer

Older pages may still show an earlier Computer Operator paper with English 20, Hindi 10 and Computer 20 marks. The 2026 split is English 15, Hindi 10, Computer Awareness 15 and Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude 10. Check every mock you take against it.

How to use mock tests: four phases

Weeks 1 to 4, concepts: Take a short subject-wise test after each chapter. Start typing practice on day one.
Weeks 5 to 8, sections: Take one timed sectional test a day, and a Part A or preliminary-style mock once a week.
Weeks 9 to 12, full papers: Take two full mocks a week at the same hour as the real exam.
Final two weeks, revision: Take a full mock every second day and revise your error log in between.

How to analyse a mock test

Wrong answers: Sort each one as a concept gap, a careless slip or a misread question. Each type needs a different fix.
Slow questions: Mark every question that took longer than the average time the paper allows.
Skipped but solvable: Reattempt these without a timer. They are the cheapest marks to win back.
Typing errors: Group mistakes by type, such as spacing, punctuation, case, missed words and Hindi matras.

Benchmarks to track

Measure	What to aim for
Time per question	About 36 seconds in Computer Operator Part A (50 questions in 30 minutes) and about 54 seconds in the Ex-Cadre Assistant written test (100 in 90 minutes)
Typing accuracy	The qualifying minimums are 90 per cent in English and 85 per cent in Hindi. Practise above them for a safety margin
Qualifying marks	Technical Assistant written: 80 of 200. Computer Operator Part A: 20 of 50. Ex-Cadre Assistant written: 40 of 100
Sectional balance	No section far behind the others

Qualifying marks are the minimum you must clear, not a selection cut-off. Each stage shortlists a fixed multiple of the vacancies in merit order, and the court has not published cut-offs for the 2026 recruitments. Aim for a clear margin above the minimum.

Common mistakes

Wrong typing layout: The Hindi test uses the Remington Gail layout with the Mangal font. Practising on another layout costs accuracy.
Leaving questions blank in Part A: There is no negative marking there, so attempt all 50.
Guessing freely where marks are deducted: At 0.25 per wrong answer, skip questions where you cannot narrow the options.
Ignoring the preliminary test: Its marks do not count in merit, but it decides who moves ahead.
Taking tests without reviewing them: A mock only helps when you study your mistakes.
