TypingTestExamAcross India, state staff-selection boards recruit clerks, junior assistants, stenotypists and stenographers — and almost all include a typing or computer skill test. The exact speed, language and whether it's qualifying changes by state and by vacancy, so the official notification is always the authority. This hub gives you the working picture and a place to practise.

The common standards
Most state clerk typing tests cluster around 30–35 WPM in English and 25–30 WPM in Hindi (or the regional language), over a 10-minute computer test, usually qualifying in nature. Data-entry and stenographer posts add DEST or shorthand requirements.
Verify before you practise. State standards and Hindi/regional fonts (Mangal, Krutidev, Remington) vary by board and year. Use this page for orientation and confirm the exact numbers from your official advertisement.
How to prepare for any state clerk typing test
- Target 35 WPM English and 30 WPM Hindi — this clears most state bars comfortably.
- Practise your state's language (Hindi, Punjabi or English) on the tool above.
- Confirm the font/layout from the notification and drill it.
- Add CPT skills (Word/Excel/PowerPoint) where the post requires a computer proficiency test.
