Who Conducts UPSSSC Recruitment
The Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC) recruits for a wide range of Group C-equivalent subordinate posts across UP state government departments — clerical roles, technical assistant positions, and various other subordinate posts. Each post runs its own recruitment notification with its own eligibility, syllabus and selection stages, so "UPSSSC" alone doesn't tell you which specific exam and process applies to you.
Why Junior Assistant Is a Common Typing Post
Junior Assistant is a clerical role that typically involves regular data entry, correspondence and document preparation — which is why it's one of the more commonly cited UPSSSC posts carrying a typing requirement. It isn't the only one, though, and the exact list of posts requiring typing (and in which language) changes with each recruitment cycle. If you're applying for a different UPSSSC post, don't assume a typing requirement applies without checking your specific notification.
English or Hindi (Kruti Dev) Typing?
UPSSSC's typing requirement has varied by post and cycle — some notifications have tested English typing, others Hindi typing specifically in the Kruti Dev font (a legacy glyph-mapped font, different from standard Unicode Hindi). Always confirm the exact language requirement in your current notification before you start practicing. See UPSSSC Junior Assistant Typing Test for the current status of Kruti Dev practice on this site, and Kruti Dev Typing Test for more on that font generally.
General Eligibility Basics
Eligibility (educational qualification, age limit, and other standard government-recruitment criteria) varies significantly by specific post, since UPSSSC covers such a wide range of roles. Rather than quoting a figure here that would only apply to one specific post, the reliable approach is to check your target post's own recruitment notification for its exact eligibility criteria.
Where to Practice
Whatever your exact post and language requirement, build genuine touch-typing speed and accuracy on the UPSSSC Junior Assistant Typing Test, which reports your raw WPM, accuracy and mistakes — since UPSSSC doesn't publish one fixed board-wide target, comparing your numbers against your specific post's published requirement is the only reliable way to know where you stand.
A note on accuracy: This page deliberately avoids stating specific eligibility figures, typing speed targets, or which posts currently require typing, since UPSSSC sets these separately per recruitment notification and can revise them between cycles. Always confirm current details against the official UPSSSC notification for your specific post and cycle.
