How to use this likhit practice tool
Choose Full mock exam to simulate the real computer test: 25 questions are drawn randomly using the official section distribution, a 30-minute countdown runs, and the exam auto-submits when time expires. After submitting you get your marks out of 100, a pass/fail verdict against the official 60 pass mark, a per-section breakdown and a full answer review. Choose Practice by section to work through every question of one topic with instant feedback — useful for finishing the complete question bank before your exam date.
The official likhit exam format
The written (लिखित) exam for a Nepal driving licence is a computer-based test conducted by the Transport Management Offices. The question collection published by the Department of Transport Management (DoTM) includes an instruction sheet that fixes the format:
| Section | Questions in bank | Asked in exam | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Knowledge related to driving | 130 | 6 | 24 |
| Knowledge related to vehicular act/regulation | 90 | 5 | 20 |
| Technical or mechanical knowledge of vehicle | 80 | 3 | 12 |
| Conceptual knowledge related to environment pollution | 30 | 2 | 8 |
| Knowledge related to accidental awareness | 60 | 3 | 12 |
| Knowledge related to traffic signals | 110 | 6 | 24 |
| Total | 500 | 25 | 100 |
Duration is 30 minutes and the minimum pass mark is 60. Offices are instructed to prepare written-exam questions from this collection only — which is why practising the full bank is the most reliable way to prepare.
Traffic-sign questions
The traffic-sign section is the part most candidates fail. 25 of its questions are text-based (light signals, road lines, sign shapes) and 85 show an actual sign and ask what it indicates. This tool displays the official sign images from the DoTM collection, so you practise recognising exactly the signs the exam uses — triangular warning signs, circular prohibition signs and rectangular information signs.
Tips from the official material
- Shapes matter: triangular signs are warnings (सचेतनात्मक), circular signs are prohibitions (निषेधात्मक), rectangular signs are informational (सूचनामूलक).
- There is no negative marking stated for the written exam — never leave a question blank.
- Only about 1 minute 12 seconds is available per question; the navigation grid in the mock helps you skip and return like the real software.
- Mobile phones are not allowed inside the examination centre.
- If you fail, you can retake up to three times within 90 days without a new application.
