The High Court of Madhya Pradesh at Jabalpur, with benches at Indore and Gwalior, recruits ministerial staff for itself and for district courts in the state. Typing is tested on a computer, and because Madhya Pradesh standardised on Unicode Hindi through CPCT, candidates usually type Hindi on InScript or Remington Gail rather than Kruti Dev. If you already hold a CPCT scorecard, your practice carries straight over to the High Court test.

Link with CPCT
Many Madhya Pradesh government departments ask for a CPCT score, and some court advertisements also refer to it. Whether or not your post requires CPCT, the skills are the same: Unicode Hindi on InScript or Remington Gail, steady English typing, and accuracy under time pressure.
Speeds around 25 WPM in Hindi and 30 WPM in English are often mentioned for assistant posts, while stenographer posts have their own shorthand and transcription tests.
Court and office Hindi
MP court orders mix legal Hindi with standard administrative words: प्रकरण, आवेदक, अनावेदक, सुनवाई, अभिलेख and प्रस्तुत. These words have frequent half letters, which is where InScript users need the halant key and Remington users need their half-letter keys. Short daily drills on such words raise speed quickly.
Recommended routine
- Warm up with a 2-minute Hindi test on your layout.
- Do one 10-minute legal passage in Hindi and one in English.
- Review the error list and practise the five words you missed most.
Tips to pass the MP HC typing test
- If you already practise for CPCT, keep the same layout for the High Court test.
- Learn the halant key (d) in InScript well; court Hindi is full of conjuncts.
- Practise typing numbers for case and file references.
- Do not switch between InScript and Remington in the last month.
- Sit upright and keep your wrists relaxed for the full test.
