Urdu and Hindi typing tests: what to know before you practise
Not every typing test is in English. Some notices ask for Hindi or Urdu typing, and the requirement is often separate from the English one.
What public notices say
SSC notices for LDC and JSA list 35 WPM in English or 30 WPM in Hindi. The public advert for the ECP Data Entry Operator post describes 40 WPM in English plus a separate Urdu typing test. Requirements can differ again for other posts, so read your own notice.
Check the keyboard layout
Hindi and Urdu typing use specific layouts and input methods, and the exam may specify the one it uses. Practise on the same layout as the exam so that muscle memory transfers.
Prepare for the language itself
Learn the position of every character, including joining letters in Urdu and conjuncts in Hindi. Type real paragraphs, not just isolated letters, and check accuracy against the source.
