Sarkari Selection Typing Test — English & Hindi

Most government recruitment happens in stages: a written or computer-based exam, then — for clerk, LDC, data-entry, stenographer and assistant posts — a typing or skill test in the selection stage. That skill test is what candidates search for as "sarkari selection typing". It is scored on speed and accuracy under a fixed time limit, and it is taken in either English or Hindi depending on the post and the candidate's choice.
This page helps you practise both. If your notification names a specific exam, open its page directly from the list below so your session matches the real speed, language and layout.
Sarkari selection English typing
English typing uses the standard QWERTY keyboard. Clerical and LDC-type posts commonly target around 35 words per minute, usually measured over a fixed passage or a set time window with an error penalty. Train at the exact duration your exam uses, and judge yourself on net speed after mistakes, not the raw gross figure.
Start with the free online typing test, then move to your exam profile for exam-accurate timing and scoring.
Sarkari selection Hindi typing
Hindi typing is where most candidates lose easy marks, because the layouts are not interchangeable. Practise the one named in your notice:
Mangal — Remington GAIL
The Remington-style key map on the Mangal (Unicode) font, used where the notice specifies Remington GAIL.
Kruti Dev 010
The legacy Kruti Dev font layout still referenced by some notices. Practise Kruti Dev typing.
Not sure which?
Read the Hindi keyboard layouts guide and the Hindi practice guide, then confirm from your official notice.
All three layouts are mapped inside the browser, so you can practise Hindi selection typing without installing a separate keyboard. For the full hub, see Hindi typing test.
English vs Hindi at a glance
| English typing | Hindi typing | |
|---|---|---|

| Typical clerical target | ~35 WPM | ~30 WPM |
| Common measure | Net speed and accuracy over a fixed time | Net speed and accuracy; key-depression counts may apply |
| Main risk | Rushing speed and losing accuracy | Practising the wrong layout for the notice |
Targets above are common examples, not a rule. Speed, duration, language and error method are set by each recruiting authority and can change every cycle — always follow the current official notification.

How to practise for the selection typing test
Fix the language first
Decide English or Hindi from your notice, and for Hindi lock the exact layout before you build speed.
Use the real clock
Practise at the full exam duration so your speed holds steady past the first minute.
Accuracy before speed
Control your error rate first; net speed rises more reliably than chasing raw WPM.
Review every attempt
Check net speed, accuracy and repeated mistakes, then fix the weakest one next session.
