Rajasthan University LDC/Junior Assistant Hindi Typing Test

About This Exam

The University of Rajasthan, along with other state universities in Rajasthan, periodically recruits non-teaching staff for posts such as Junior Assistant and Clerk (LDC) to handle administrative work — student records, departmental correspondence, and day-to-day office operations. This is a separate recruiting body from RSSB/RSMSSB (the state-level Rajasthan Staff Selection Board), and each university notification lays out its own selection process, even though the overall structure tends to mirror standard Rajasthan clerical exams.

Typing Test Pattern

While each university notification can specify its own exact figures, the Hindi Typing Test for these posts generally follows the pattern common to Rajasthan clerical recruitment:


Script: Devanagari (Hindi), typed using standard government-recognised fonts such as Kruti Dev 010 or Mangal (Unicode Inscript) — candidates should confirm which font their university mandates.
Format: A printed/on-screen Hindi passage is provided, which candidates must reproduce accurately in the given time within a text box or on a typing software interface.
Mode: Computer-based typing test (older cycles at some institutions may still reference typewriters, but current recruitment is conducted on computers).
Correction rule: As with most Rajasthan government typing tests, once a word is finalized (typically by pressing the spacebar or moving to the next word), it usually cannot be edited — so accuracy while typing matters more than trying to fix mistakes afterward.
Qualifying nature: For most university-level clerical recruitment, the typing test is a qualifying stage that candidates must clear to remain in contention, rather than one that adds marks directly like the RSSB LDC pattern

Speed Requirement

Candidates should aim to:

Achieve the minimum typing speed prescribed in the official notification.
Maintain high typing accuracy.
Avoid spelling and punctuation mistakes.
Complete the passage within the allotted time.

Regular practice helps candidates develop both speed and consistency

Result & Scoring

The typing performance is generally evaluated on:

Gross Typing Speed
Net Typing Speed
Accuracy Percentage
Error Count
Overall Typing Performance

Higher accuracy is essential because typing mistakes can significantly affect the final evaluation

Preparation Tips

Confirm your exact font early — Kruti Dev and Mangal Unicode use different keystrokes for the same Hindi characters, so knowing which one your university specifies saves you from relearning under pressure.
Practice matra combinations daily — Hindi typing speed often stalls on conjuncts and matras (ि, ी, ृ, ं etc.); dedicated drills on these speed up your overall WPM more than generic practice.
Simulate the no-correction rule — since finalized words typically can't be edited, train yourself to read each word before moving on, rather than relying on backspace habits from casual typing.
Type from real official Hindi content — practicing with government circulars, administrative notices, or Rajasthan GK passages builds familiarity with the vocabulary style typically used in these tests.
Time every practice session — build stamina specifically for the 10-minute format rather than only doing short, unstructured sessions.
Track accuracy, not just speed — a slower but error-free passage is far more valuable in a qualifying test than rushing and making mistakes.
Revisit your specific university's notification before finalizing your prep — since speed and format details can differ across university recruitment cycles, don't rely solely on generic benchmarks.

Selection Process Note

The typical selection process for Junior Assistant/Clerk (LDC) posts at the University of Rajasthan and similar institutions includes:


Written Examination (Phase I) — covering General Knowledge, General Science, Mathematics, and language sections.
Hindi/English Typewriting or Skill Test (Phase II) — the typing test discussed above, generally qualifying in nature.
Document Verification — checking educational qualifications, computer proficiency certificates, category, and age documents.
Probation Period — selected candidates typically join as "Probationer Trainees" for a fixed period before moving to the regular pay scale.
