Roz shorthand dictation practice karein — apni target grade ki speed se thoda zyada.
Transcription bhi time limit mein practice karein, sirf dictation lena kaafi nahi.
Apni grade ke hisaab se speed set karein — Grade III: 80 WPM, Grade II: 100 WPM, Grade I: 120 WPM.
Written test ko halke mein na lein — qualifying hai par usse clear karna zaroori hai.
Typing accuracy pe bhi dhyan dein, sirf speed kaafi nahi.
Interview ki bhi taiyari karein, kyunki uske marks final merit mein judte hain.

Selection Process Note

Because the Written Test is qualifying only, a candidate's rank is ultimately decided by Stenography Test performance combined with Interview marks. This is a meaningful difference from posts like Junior Administrative Assistant, where the written exam carries real weight in the final merit. For Stenographer aspirants, this means shorthand speed, transcription accuracy, and interview performance should receive the bulk of preparation time and effort, while the written test should be treated as a threshold to clear rather than a scoring opportunity.
