New Delhi, June 5 (IANS) Bidding goodbye to typewriters, the government announced Saturday that it would test the typing skills for clerks as well as stenos on computers.
‘(The) Staff Selection Commission has decided that tests for recruitment to the posts of lower division clerks and stenographers will be conducted on computer only,’ said a statement by the ministry of personnel, public grievances and training.
