Why Typing is the Gateway to MP Government Jobs
In Madhya Pradesh, a large number of state government vacancies — from village-level Patwari to High Court assistants — have a mandatory typing or computer proficiency requirement. Many candidates clear the written exam but fail the typing round because they never practiced under exam-like conditions.
This guide lists every major MP government post that requires typing, its exact speed requirement, and how Durga Typing's exam modes are built to match each one.

Which Post Should You Target First?
If you're just starting out:
1. Get your CPCT scorecard first — it unlocks Patwari, Sahayak Grade 3, DEO, and more with one certificate
2. Then apply for High Court / Court Clerk separately — these have their own typing tests
3. Practice both Hindi and English together — don't neglect one for the other
