Official Error Formula — Verbatim from 2025 Notification

HCRAJ Steno Computer Speed Test marks proportionally milte hain — correctly typed words ke proportion mein.

Marks Formula: Marks = (Actual Correct Words × Max Marks) ÷ Total Dictated Words. Actual correct words = total dictated − actual committed mistakes.

Full Mistakes: Omission of words/figure · Substitution of wrong word/figure · Misspelling. Partial Mistakes: Error/omission in punctuation · Wrong capital/small letters · Wrong paragraph indentation. Two partial = one full mistake.

5% Margin Rule: "The margin of 5% mistakes may be allowed. If mistakes exceed 5% of the dictated passage, the excess over 5% shall be deducted from the total dictated words and speed recalculated."

Worked example: 420-word passage, 18 mistakes. 5% margin = 21. Since 18 < 21, no deduction. Correct words = 402. Speed Test marks = (402 × 50) ÷ 420 = 47.86 / 50. With 30 mistakes: excess = 9, marks = (390 × 50) ÷ 411 = 47.44. Accuracy matters significantly.

KrutiDev 010 vs Mangal — HCRAJ Steno Ke Liye Exact Font

Most modern exams (SSC, RRB, NVS, AIIMS) Mangal Unicode pe shift ho gaye. HCRAJ Steno 2025 explicitly KrutiDev 010 mandate karta hai.

KrutiDev 010 — Remington Layout

Non-Unicode

Only accepted Hindi font for HCRAJ Steno. Must practice exclusively on this layout.

Mangal + Inscript

Unicode

NOT accepted — completely wrong muscle memory, weeks to unlearn.

Mangal + Remington Gail

Unicode

NOT accepted — similar but different key mappings, still wrong for HCRAJ.

Calibri (English)

Standard

English Steno candidates only (Group A). Standard QWERTY, no special prep.

Mistakes That Cause HCRAJ Steno Failure

Avoid

  • Practicing Mangal Inscript / Remington Gail — wrong muscle memory, 3–4 weeks to rebuild on KrutiDev 010.
  • Targeting only the 8,000 KDPH floor — competitive merit needs 10,000+ KDPH with high accuracy.
  • Ignoring the Efficiency Test — it's 50 of the 100 Computer Test marks; fail it = disqualified.
  • Practicing dual language — Steno is single language only (your shorthand group).

Do

  • Practice exclusively in your shorthand group language on the correct font.
  • Target 12,000+ KDPH for comfort — real court work demands this.
  • Practice both Computer papers — Speed + MS Word formatting.
  • Keep accuracy high — the 5% error margin shrinks effective word count if exceeded.

HCRAJ Stenographer Computer Speed Test: Frequently Asked Questions

HCRAJ Steno Computer Speed Test mein kitni speed chahiye?

Official 2025 notification ke according, minimum 8,000 KDPH required hai — approximately 26.67 WPM. Lekin yeh sirf disqualification threshold hai. HCRAJ Steno Computer Test score-based hai: marks = (correct words × 50) ÷ total words. Competitive merit ke liye 10,000+ KDPH with 95%+ accuracy target karein.

HCRAJ Steno mein KrutiDev 010 mandatory kyon hai, Mangal kyon nahi?

Official Rajasthan High Court Stenographer notification (2025) clearly state karta hai: Hindi Computer Test ke liye sirf KrutiDev 010 font accepted hai, English ke liye Calibri. Mangal Inscript, Mangal Remington Gail, ya koi bhi Mangal/Unicode variant accepted nahi. KrutiDev 010 ek non-Unicode legacy font hai jo Remington typewriter keyboard layout use karta hai.

HCRAJ Steno Computer Test marks merit mein add hote hain ya qualifying?

HCRAJ Steno mein Computer Test marks (Speed 50 + Efficiency 50 = 100 marks) directly final merit list mein add hote hain — purely qualifying nahi. Final merit = Shorthand (100) + Computer Speed Test (50) + Computer Efficiency Test (50) = 200 marks total aggregate. Typing mein jitna better performance, utna higher merit rank.

HCRAJ Steno mein Hindi aur English dono type karna padta hai?

Nahi — HCRAJ Steno Computer Test single-language hota hai. Group A (English Shorthand) candidates sirf English mein type karte hain Calibri font se. Group B (Hindi Shorthand) candidates sirf Hindi mein type karte hain KrutiDev 010 se. Dual-language mixing steno candidates ke liye allowed nahi hai — LDC/JJA/SA tracks se bilkul alag rule hai.

HCRAJ Steno efficiency test mein kya aata hai?

Official 2025 notification ke according, Computer Efficiency Test (10 minutes, 50 marks) mein word processing software pe formatting tasks hote hain: Text formatting, Paragraph formatting, Page formatting, Table creation, aur Letter formatting. Minimum qualifying: 22.5/50 (General/OBC), 20/50 (SC/ST/PH/Ex-S).

HCRAJ Steno Computer Test mein dono papers alag pass karne padte hain?

Haan — Speed Test aur Efficiency Test dono mein separately minimum qualifying marks lana mandatory hai. Speed Test minimum: 22.5/50 (General/OBC), 20/50 (SC/ST/PH/Ex-S). Efficiency Test minimum: same thresholds. Ek paper mein pass hona aur doosre mein fail = overall candidature rejection, chahe shorthand test mein kitna bhi accha kiya ho.

HCRAJ Steno ki shorthand test ka format kya hai?

Pehle ek trial passage (200–250 words) dictate hoti hai — sirf practice ke liye, evaluate nahi hoti. Phir final passage: English track (Group A) 80 WPM 6 minutes; Hindi track (Group B) 70 WPM 6 minutes. Dictation ke baad 5 minutes reading time, phir transcription computer pe — Group A 50 minutes English mein, Group B Hindi mein KrutiDev 010 use karke. Total shorthand marks = 100.

HCRAJ Steno ka error formula kya hai?

Marks = (Actual Correct Words × Max Marks) ÷ Total Dictated Words. 5% margin allowed — agar mistakes 5% se kam hain, no penalty. Agar 5% se zyada, excess deducted from word count. Full mistakes: omission, substitution, misspelling. Partial mistakes: punctuation, wrong capital/small, wrong indentation. 2 partial = 1 full mistake.
