Patna High Court Computer Operator Syllabus, Exam Pattern

No negative marking. Typing accuracy in percent is your mark out of 100, so you need 90% accuracy in English and 85% in Hindi. You must clear all three parts. Three times the vacancies are called to interview. Final merit is written plus interview.

Hindi typing uses the Remington Gail keyboard in Mangal font. If applications are very high, a 50-mark screening test (general awareness, English, computer awareness; 30 minutes) can be added first. It was not needed in 2026.

• English: vocabulary, grammar, error spotting, fill in the blanks, synonyms and antonyms, spellings, idioms, one-word substitution, voice, sentence rearrangement.
• Hindi: grammar, including gender, number, case, tense, voice, spelling, idioms and proverbs, figures of speech, sandhi, samas, prefixes and suffixes.
• Computer awareness: computer basics and terms, abbreviations, hardware and software, keyboard shortcuts, operating systems, MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint, internet, networking, security and viruses.
• Reasoning and aptitude: analogy, classification, series, coding-decoding, syllogism; number system, percentage, ratio, average, interest, profit and loss, time and work, time and distance, mensuration.

Questions come in English and Hindi, except the two language sections.

• Graduation in any discipline.
• A diploma or certificate of at least six months in computer applications.
• A typing certificate for 40 wpm in English and 30 wpm in Hindi.

All three must be held on 1 January 2026.

Minimum age 18. Locomotor disabled candidates get 10 more years and central or Bihar government employees 5 more. Category relaxation, the 35% reservation for women and fee concessions apply only to permanent residents of Bihar. NCC "B" certificate or two years in the Territorial Army gives preference when all else is equal.

Pay Level 4 of the 7th pay matrix, ₹25,500 – 81,100, plus allowances. Appointment is on one year's probation.

Apply online only, through the link on the High Court's recruitment page. The 2026 window was 17 April to 16 May 2026, with fee payment until 19 May.

Upload caste, NCL, EWS and domicile certificates issued on or before the last date. You must bring the same certificates to document verification.

The typing parts carry 200 of the 250 written marks and need near-perfect accuracy, so typing practice matters more than the MCQs. Practise Hindi on Remington Gail in Mangal, not on phonetic or Kruti Dev layouts.
