Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning
Chart every Devanagari character on the prescribed keyboard against its key position and the finger that strikes it, and tape the chart beside the machine.
Drill the home row for 20 minutes daily with both hands anchored and eyes on the copy, never glancing at the keyboard.
Type the twelve vowels and the consonants of all five vargas in sequence at 12–15 wpm with fewer than five errors per minute.
Locate any called-out key within two seconds by blind reach, tested in sets of twenty keys.
Type the पूर्ण विराम, अल्पविराम, प्रश्नवाचक and hyphen keys from the top and bottom rows without breaking rhythm.
Your checkpoint
A dated one-page finger-position chart plus a 5-minute timed home-row and varga drill scoring at least 95 per cent stroke accuracy.
Devanagari keyboard layout and finger positioning & Hindi orthography in typing: matras, conjuncts, and halant forms
Reach the top and bottom rows blind, including digits, the danda (।), brackets and the rupee-style punctuation used in board passages.
Type the nine dependent vowel signs in correct key order, striking ि before its consonant and े ै ो ौ after it.
Type nukta letters (क़, ख़, ग़, ज़, फ़) and the anusvara/chandrabindu forms without substituting the plain consonants.
Complete three 3-minute dictations of simple prose at 18 wpm with at least 96 per cent accuracy.
Keep the shift key on the opposite hand from the letter being capitalised or shifted.
Your checkpoint
Three scored 3-minute passages with every error annotated by cause - wrong row, wrong matra order, nukta omission - in a single log.
Hindi orthography in typing: matras, conjuncts, and halant forms & Speed transcription of Hindi passages
Type the fifty most frequent conjuncts (क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ, श्र, स्त, न्द, म्ब, द्ध, ष्ट) from dictation at 20 wpm.
Handle reph (र्) and rakar forms by striking the halant sequence in the correct order and checking the visible form against the copy.
Combine half forms with following matras correctly, so that the matra lands on the full consonant, not on the halant letter.
Type a 250-word passage containing at least fifteen conjuncts and five halant forms with no more than four errors.
Read back every reph and half form against the printed copy and note which ones recur as slips.
Your checkpoint
A 250-word conjunct-heavy transcription with an error tally of four or fewer and a written list of the five slips that repeat most often.
Speed transcription of Hindi passages & Accuracy, error correction, and proofreading
Sustain 25 wpm net on 5-minute passages of board-standard Hindi prose, computing net speed after applying the stated error penalty.
Apply the examination error rule to every timed run, recording gross speed, error count and net speed in one running table.
Correct a mistyped word inside the line by backspacing without losing the rhythm of the following phrase.
Read one phrase ahead of the keys so that pauses fall at word boundaries rather than mid-word.
Keep both hands on the home row between words, eliminating the drift that shows up as wrong-row errors.
Your checkpoint
A speed log of ten 5-minute runs showing gross speed, errors and net speed, with at least three runs at 25 wpm net.
Speed transcription of Hindi passages & Accuracy, error correction, and proofreading
Push sustained net speed to 30 wpm across 8–10 minute passages without letting accuracy fall below 93 per cent.
Proofread each transcript against the copy in one systematic pass, marking omissions, repetitions and matra substitutions.
Reduce uncorrected errors to fewer than one per hundred words on unseen passages.
Recover from a dropped or doubled keystroke without restarting the paragraph or lifting eyes from the copy.
Type at a steady tempo rather than a burst-and-stall pattern, measured by comparing the fastest and slowest minutes of a run.
Your checkpoint
Two 10-minute unseen passages at 30 wpm gross and 28 wpm net, each with a proofreader's mark-up sheet listing every caught and missed error.
Accuracy, error correction, and proofreading & Document formatting and layout: margins, headings, paragraphing, and tabulation
Set margins, paragraph indents and line spacing on a fresh sheet and hold them constant from page to page.
Centre main headings and align sub-headings left with consistent emphasis, leaving the prescribed blank lines above and below.
Build a three-column tabulated statement (क्रम संख्या, विवरण, राशि) with figures aligned on the right and decimals in line.
Place the date line, page number and signature block in their prescribed positions on every typed sheet.
Detect layout faults - uneven margins, stray spaces before punctuation, split headings - in a final read-through before submission.
Your checkpoint
A one-page formatted statement with heading, two justified paragraphs and a numeric table, measured against margins you rule out yourself on the sheet.
Official correspondence and government drafting conventions & Document formatting and layout: margins, headings, paragraphing, and tabulation
Type a demi-official letter placing सेवा में, विषय, संदर्भ, संलग्नक and भवदीय blocks in the correct order and position.
Type a कार्यालय आदेश with file number, date, preamble and signature authority laid out as one continuous indent-free block.
Type an अनुस्मरण and a पृष्ठांकन from printed drafts, keeping the copy-to list aligned and abbreviated in the prescribed style.
Hold a formal register throughout: no contractions, consistent abbreviations (क्र., सं., दि.), and full forms on first mention.
Insert the endorsement and enclosure lines at the foot of the page without disturbing the margin set in week six.
Your checkpoint
A portfolio of four typed drafts - अर्धसरकारी पत्र, कार्यालय आदेश, अनुस्मरण and पृष्ठांकन - each checked against a convention checklist you write yourself.
Word-processor operation and file handling & Speed transcription of Hindi passages
Create, name, save and back up practice files in a dated folder structure, and recover an unsaved document after a simulated crash.
Use page setup, zoom, print preview, find-and-replace and file conversion without reaching for the mouse.
Complete two full-length mock papers under exam timing at 30 wpm net with the formatting of week six intact.
Audit the eight-week error log and drill the ten slips that appear most often in it.
Proofread one final transcript against the copy under time pressure and count your own errors before the clock stops.
Your checkpoint
Two timed mock papers submitted with net speed, error count, a ticked formatting checklist and a verified backup copy of every file.
