Preparation Tips

Practice Hindi typing daily to comfortably cross 25 WPM — this is the mandatory requirement.
Build English typing speed toward 30 WPM too, since it gives you a selection edge.
Get comfortable with the Unicode/Mangal-style Hindi keyboard layout used in most government exams.
Don't neglect the Written Exam — General Knowledge and General Studies carry 140 marks.
Time yourself on both Hindi and English passages under exam-like conditions.
Confirm the latest speed and marks details from the official UKSSSC notification before your exam.

Selection Process Note

Because Hindi typing is the compulsory skill for Junior Assistant while English typing only earns preference, candidates should prioritise their Hindi typing practice first and treat English typing as a valuable add-on rather than the primary hurdle. This is the opposite emphasis compared to several other High Court recruitments (like Jharkhand or Chhattisgarh), where English typing is the core mandatory test — so always read the post-specific eligibility criteria carefully rather than assuming the pattern is the same everywhere.
