About this exam

Rajasthan High Court and its subordinate district courts recruit for several typing/shorthand-dependent posts under one governing framework: the Rajasthan Subordinate Courts Ministerial Establishment Rules, 1986 (as amended). This page covers three tracks together -- LDC/Junior Judicial Assistant/Junior Assistant (general clerical typing), Personal Assistant and Stenographer (shorthand plus typing), and System Assistant (a newer, more IT-focused post) -- since they share one recruiting framework even though their specific speed requirements differ.

The clerical track (LDC/JJA/JA) is closest to what most other exams on this site test: a computer speed test, no shorthand involved. Personal Assistant and Stenographer additionally require a shorthand dictation test before the typing/transcription component -- if you're not applying for one of those two posts, the shorthand requirements below don't apply to you.

We independently fetched and verified the 1986 Rules document (as amended) directly from hcraj.nic.in for the LDC/JJA/JA, Personal Assistant, and Stenographer speed requirements below. System Assistant is a newer post this 1986 document doesn't mention at all -- its figures on this page are reported by third-party sources, not independently confirmed by us, and flagged as such.

Typing rules for this exam

LDC / Junior Judicial Assistant / Junior Assistant (Group C, computer test): per the Rules' own text, "there will be speed test on computer... minimum speed should be 8000 depressions per hour on computer. Data will have to be fed in Hindi or English Language or in dual language i.e. English and Hindi." Scored across two papers -- Speed and Efficiency -- 50 marks each.

Personal Assistant: either 95 WPM English Shorthand plus 8000 KDPH English typing on computer, or 75 WPM Hindi Shorthand plus 8000 KDPH Hindi typing on computer -- confirmed directly from the Rules' own text.

Stenographer: either 90 WPM English Shorthand or 70 WPM Hindi Shorthand -- also confirmed directly. Group A (English Shorthand) dictation runs at 100 WPM for 100 marks; Group B (Hindi Shorthand) dictation runs at 80 WPM for 100 marks, per the same Rules document's examination-scheme schedule.

System Assistant is not named anywhere in the 1986 Rules document we fetched -- it's a newer, more IT-focused post covered by separate, more recent recruitment notifications we were not able to independently locate and fetch this session. Third-party sources describe its test as roughly 5 minutes Hindi, a short gap, then 5 minutes English, for 50 marks total -- treat this as commonly-reported, not confirmed by us.

What the Rules document does not specify: it gives no permitted font/keyboard layout for either language anywhere we could find. Third-party sources consistently name KrutiDev 010 for Hindi (with Mangal/InScript/Remington variants reported as not accepted) -- we're not presenting that as confirmed fact here since our primary source is silent on it, but it's worth practicing KrutiDev specifically given how consistently it's reported for this specific High Court.

How errors are calculated

The Rules document confirms the unit of measurement -- 8000 key depressions per hour minimum for the general computer/typing test, scored across separate Speed and Efficiency papers (50 marks each) -- but does not print a specific error-deduction formula for how "Efficiency" marks are calculated from mistakes. For Personal Assistant/Stenographer, the same 8000 KDPH typing figure applies alongside the shorthand-dictation speed, but again without a published error formula.

8000 KDPH works out to roughly 26-27 WPM using the standard 5-characters-per-word conversion -- useful as a reference point if you're used to thinking in WPM from practicing for other exams, though the Rules themselves state the requirement in KDPH, not WPM.

Practice for this exam

काम पर हर दिन कुछ नया सीखने को मिलता है। सुबह दफ्तर पहुंचते ही सबसे पहले ईमेल देखना और दिन की योजना बनाना जरूरी होता है। मीटिंग में सहकर्मियों के साथ विचार साझा करना काम को आसान बना देता है। दोपहर के भोजन के बाद थोड़ी देर टहलना दिमाग को ताजा रखता है। शाम को घर लौटते समय ट्रैफिक जरूर धीमा कर देता है, लेकिन दिन भर की मेहनत का संतोष हर थकान को हल्का कर देता है। भारतीय रसोई में स्वाद और परंपरा का अनोखा मेल देखने को मिलता है। हर घर में दाल-चावल बनाने का अपना खास तरीका होता है, जो पीढ़ी दर पीढ़ी चला आता है। त्योहारों पर पूरा परिवार मिलकर खाना बनाता है, और यही साथ मिलकर काम करना रिश्तों को और मजबूत बनाता है। मसालों की खुशबू पूरे घर में फैल जाती है, और खाने की मेज पर बैठकर बातें करना दिन का सबसे सुकून भरा पल होता है। भारत में मानसून का मौसम हर किसी के लिए खास मायने रखता है। जून के महीने में जब पहली बारिश आती है, तो खेतों की मिट्टी से उठने वाली सोंधी खुशबू मन को सुकून देती है। किसान इस मौसम का बेसब्री से इंतजार करते हैं क्योंकि उनकी फसल की पूरी उम्मीद इसी बारिश पर टिकी होती है। बच्चे बारिश में भीगकर खेलना पसंद करते हैं, जबकि बड़े लोग गरमागरम चाय और पकौड़ों का आनंद लेते हैं। मानसून सिर्फ मौसम नहीं, बल्कि पूरे देश की जिंदगी का हिस्सा है। पढ़ाई सिर्फ किताबों तक सीमित नहीं होती, यह जिंदगी को समझने का एक तरीका है। स्कूल के पुस्तकालय में घंटों बिताकर नई-नई किताबें पढ़ना बचपन की सबसे प्यारी यादों में से एक है। शिक्षक जब कोई कहानी सुनाते हैं, तो पूरी कक्षा खामोश होकर सुनती है। आजकल इंटरनेट ने सीखने के तरीके को पूरी तरह बदल दिया है, फिर भी किताब के पन्नों को पलटने का अपना ही मजा है। असली ज्ञान वही है जो जिज्ञासा से जन्म लेता है। भारत त्योहारों का देश है, और हर त्योहार अपने साथ खुशी और रंग लेकर आता है। दीवाली में घरों को दीयों और रंगोली से सजाया जाता है, जबकि होली में लोग एक-दूसरे को रंग लगाकर प्यार बांटते हैं। हर राज्य और हर समुदाय के अपने अलग रीति-रिवाज होते हैं, फिर भी त्योहारों के पीछे की भावना एक जैसी रहती है -- परिवार के साथ समय बिताना और नई शुरुआत का स्वागत करना। मिठाइयों की खुशबू और रोशनी से जगमगाते घर हर त्योहार को यादगार बना देते हैं।

30-day preparation plan

Week 1 -- confirm which track applies to you, then baseline that one specifically. LDC/JJA/JA needs computer typing only; Personal Assistant and Stenographer need shorthand plus typing. Don't split practice time evenly across skills you don't actually need for your specific post.

Week 2 -- get comfortable thinking in KDPH, and practice KrutiDev specifically. This Rules document states the requirement in key depressions per hour, not WPM -- track your practice in that unit. Third-party sources consistently report KrutiDev 010 as the expected Hindi font here, so if you've only trained on InScript, budget real time to build KrutiDev fluency too.

Week 3 (Personal Assistant/Stenographer only) -- layer shorthand practice on top of typing, in sequence. The real test is shorthand dictation followed by typed transcription, not typing alone -- rehearse that exact sequence, not just isolated typing speed.

Week 4 -- push past 8000 KDPH with real margin. 8000 KDPH is the Rules' own stated minimum, not a comfortable target -- aim to clear it with room to spare in your final practice runs, since a test-day dip in speed or accuracy shouldn't drop you below the actual bar.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Practicing shorthand-heavy prep for LDC/JJA/Junior Assistant posts, which only need the computer typing test -- shorthand only applies to Personal Assistant/Stenographer tracks.
  • Thinking in WPM only and never checking your actual KDPH figure -- the Rules state the requirement in key depressions per hour specifically.
  • Training exclusively on InScript for Hindi when KrutiDev 010 is the consistently-reported expectation for this specific High Court.
  • Assuming System Assistant follows the same 8000 KDPH rule as LDC/JJA/JA -- it's a separate, newer post not covered by the 1986 Rules document at all.

Frequently asked questions

What typing speed does Rajasthan High Court require for LDC/JJA/Junior Assistant?

The Rules confirm a minimum of 8000 key depressions per hour on computer, with data fed in Hindi, English, or dual language, scored across separate Speed and Efficiency papers (50 marks each).

What are the shorthand requirements for Personal Assistant and Stenographer?

Personal Assistant: 95 WPM English Shorthand plus 8000 KDPH English typing, or 75 WPM Hindi Shorthand plus 8000 KDPH Hindi typing. Stenographer: 90 WPM English Shorthand or 70 WPM Hindi Shorthand. Both confirmed directly from the Rajasthan Subordinate Courts Ministerial Establishment Rules, 1986 (as amended).

What font/keyboard layout does Rajasthan High Court use for Hindi typing?

The official 1986 Rules document doesn't specify a font or layout anywhere. Third-party sources consistently report KrutiDev 010 as the expected font, with Mangal/InScript/Remington variants not accepted -- worth practicing accordingly, though we couldn't confirm this against the primary Rules document itself.

What is System Assistant, and does the same typing rule apply?

System Assistant is a newer, more IT-focused post not mentioned anywhere in the 1986 Rules document we verified. Its typing-test structure is reported by third-party sources (roughly 5 minutes Hindi, a short gap, then 5 minutes English, 50 marks total) but not independently confirmed by us -- it likely follows its own, more recent recruitment notification rather than the general clerical 8000 KDPH rule.

How does 8000 KDPH compare to a WPM figure?

Using the standard 5-characters-per-word conversion, 8000 key depressions per hour works out to roughly 26-27 WPM -- but the Rules themselves state the actual requirement in KDPH, not WPM, so practice tracking that unit directly rather than only converting.
