• Every substitution of a word or figure. The number of mistakes will be equal to the number of words/ figures dictated which have been replaced/ substituted by other word(s)/ figure(s). However, if a figure is written correctly either in numeral orin words, both will be acceptable and will not be counted as mistake.
• Every addition of a word or figure or a group of words or figures not occurring in the dictated passage.

HALF MISTAKES

The following mistakes are treated as half mistakes:-

• Wrong spelling, including transposition of letters in a word and also omission of a letter or letters from a word. Mis-spelling of proper nouns and unfamiliar names are ignored. If the wrongly spelt word occurs more than once in the passage it will be treated as a single half mistake
• Using singular or plural noun and vice versa.
• Use of small letter at the beginning of a sentence.

NOTE :

• More than one error in a single word: All the errors are counted but the total mistakes counted in a single word should not exceed one full mistake.
• Every passage will be accompanied by a list of words which can be spelt/ written in more than one form. All the spellings/forms of words will be acceptable and not counted as error. For example the word ‘Honourable’ is written as Hon’ble, Hon., honourable and hon. – all these forms will be treated as correct.
• CANDIDATES ARE NOT PENALISED FOR ANY TYPE OF ERRORS OR MISTAKES OTHER THAN THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE.
