RSMSSB Typing Test: Rajasthan Exam Preparation Guide

What Is the RSMSSB Typing Test?

The Rajasthan Subordinate and Ministerial Services Selection Board (RSMSSB) is the primary recruitment authority for Rajasthan state government posts. It conducts typing skill tests for posts including LDC (Lower Division Clerk), Junior Assistant, Patwari, Clerk Grade II and various other ministerial roles.

The typing skill test is a qualifying stage — candidates who clear the written exam must then clear the typing round to proceed. Rajasthan government posts predominantly require Hindi typing, though some bilingual posts also require English.

RSMSSB Typing Speed Requirements

Always verify exact requirements from the current RSMSSB notification. The board has used both KrutiDev and Mangal (InScript) fonts for Hindi typing in different exam cycles.

Hindi Typing Layouts for RSMSSB

RSMSSB exams have used different Hindi typing layouts in different years:

• KrutiDev (Remington) — older layout widely used by candidates trained in traditional typing institutes; character positions follow the traditional Remington typewriter layout.
• Mangal InScript — government-standardised Unicode layout; phonetically intuitive and portable across systems.

Practise with the Hindi Typing Tutor (KrutiDev) or Hindi Typing Tutor (InScript) based on your exam's confirmed layout. Use the Hindi Typing Test for timed practice sessions.

5-Week RSMSSB Typing Practice Plan

Week 1 – Layout Mastery

Identify your exam's required layout (KrutiDev or InScript). Learn key positions row by row using the Hindi Typing Tutor. Focus on the home row first. Avoid looking at the keyboard.

Week 2 – Accuracy at Low Speed

Type short Hindi passages with 95%+ accuracy at a slow pace. Identify which matras (vowel modifiers) and conjunct consonants you miss most frequently, and isolate them for drill practice.

Week 3–4 – Speed Building

Take 5-minute Hindi Typing Tests twice daily. Add 2–3 WPM per week. Track net WPM (speed minus error deductions) rather than gross speed.

Week 5 – Exam Simulation

Run full 10-minute tests daily in a quiet environment. Target 28 WPM Hindi or 38 WPM English to have a safe margin above the RSMSSB pass mark.

RSMSSB Typing Mistakes to Avoid

• Training in the wrong layout — KrutiDev and InScript are completely different; weeks of wrong-layout practice cannot be quickly reversed.
• Neglecting half-characters and matras — these are common error sources in Hindi; drill them systematically.
• Only practising 3-minute tests — RSMSSB tests are 10 minutes; build stamina explicitly with full-length sessions.
• Ignoring accuracy in favour of speed — Rajasthan government jobs have strict accuracy cut-offs; even one high-error test can disqualify you.
• Not practising on the correct OS — ensure your Hindi typing setup (font and keyboard driver) matches the exam centre's expected configuration.
