Delhi HC Stage-I English Typing Test Notice: Senior PA 2026

Delhi High Court has posted a notice titled "Stage-I: English Typing Test for Senior Personal Assistant (Open) Examination-2026". The official wording is: "Notice regarding Stage-I: English Typing Test in connection with Senior Personal Assistant (Open) Examination-2026."

We have only the title of the notice at the time of writing. We do not have the date, time, speed, passage rules or reporting details, and we will not guess them. Those details are in the notice itself, on the Delhi High Court website.

This post tells you what to look for in the notice, what the title already tells you, and how to use the next few days well.

What the notice title tells you

The title gives you three clear points.

• Stage-I: the typing test is the first stage named in this notice. There are later stages, and you should check the notice for what follows.
• English Typing Test: the test is in English. Prepare on an English passage, not Hindi.
• Senior Personal Assistant (Open) Examination-2026: this is the Delhi High Court recruitment for the Senior PA post.

That is all the title confirms. Anything else, such as speed, duration or whether the test is qualifying, must come from the full notice.

What to look for in the notice

Do not just skim the first paragraph. Open the notice and note these points on paper.

1. Date and time of the test, and the reporting time.
2. Venue or centre, and how you will get your details (roll number, call letter or admit card).
3. Who is called. See whether the notice lists roll numbers, and check yours carefully.
4. Required speed and the time given for typing.
5. How mistakes are counted and whether any mistakes are allowed.
6. Documents you must carry, such as ID proof.
7. Keyboard and device rules, if the notice mentions them.
8. Contact details given for queries.

If the notice does not mention a point, do not assume. Write it down and check the website again, or contact the office using the details given.

How to use the days before the test

You may not know the speed requirement yet, but your practice does not have to wait. Good English typing rests on accuracy first and speed second.

Practise on English passages for a fixed time every day. Keep the same time slot, so your hands get used to it. Use a full-size keyboard if the exam will use one. A phone keyboard builds the wrong habits.

Once you read the speed and time rules in the notice, set your practice to match them exactly. If the notice gives a passage time, practise with a timer of that length. Do not practise only short bursts.

Where candidates usually lose marks

These are common patterns in English typing tests. They are general observations, not Delhi HC rules, so check the notice for how this test treats them.

• Spacing: a missed space or a double space. Many candidates do this when they rush.
• Punctuation and capital letters: a comma left out, or a small letter after a full stop.
• Skipped words or lines: your eyes jump when you look up at the screen too often.
• Repeated words: the same word typed twice at a line break.
• Correcting too much: stopping to fix every slip costs time. Whether Backspace is allowed depends on the test rules, so read them first.

For one example of how full and half mistakes can be counted in another exam, read SSC CHSL Typing Test: Full and Half Mistakes Explained. The Delhi HC rules can be different, so use it only to understand the idea.

Do not mix this up with other Delhi recruitments

Several Delhi recruitments for PA and stenographer-type posts are running at the same time. This notice is from Delhi High Court and is for the Senior Personal Assistant (Open) Examination-2026. It is not the same as the DSSSB recruitment.

If you applied to both, keep their rules separate. Our post on DSSSB Advt. No. 04/2026: Senior PA, PA, JJA Posts covers the DSSSB side.

For another Delhi High Court post, see how a stage notice was handled in Delhi HC JJA/Restorer Stage-II Main Admit Card Out. It is a different post, but it shows the kind of notice the court puts up.

What to do on test day

Reach the centre early. Carry what the notice asks for, and keep a few spare copies of important papers if allowed.

Before you begin, check your name and details on the screen. Read the instructions once, slowly. Then type the passage as it is shown, not as you think it should be.

Keep a steady pace. A clean, slightly slower attempt is usually safer than a fast one full of errors, but check the notice to see what the required speed and mistake limit are.

What to do this week

• Open delhihighcourt.nic.in today and read the full notice, not only the title.
• Write down the date, time, venue and documents on one page and keep it with you.
• Practise English typing every day at the same hour, on a real keyboard.
• Set your practice timer to the exact time in the notice once you read it.
• Work on spacing, punctuation and capital letters before you try to raise speed.
• Check the website again closer to the test date in case a new notice is posted.
