You should learn shorthand for atleast 3 months with regular and
dedicated efforts. First month will go for theory section and you will
go for dictation part which will allow you to make speed from 60 to 80
wpm and 80wpm to 100 wpm.
Yes, ofcourse an average student can crack the stenographer exam
easily. The possibility of cracking the exam depends on its syllabus
with which every student of any stream, is familiar. Also this exam is
not including maths as the fourth subject which is the most important
part and that is why many students are diverting to stenographer exam
rather than going for ssc combined graduate level (cgl) exam.
after you clear the skill test for stenographer exam, they will
declare the results for the exam. That will hardly take 1 month or so.
SSC will declare the merit list according to the marks secured by the
candidates in the written exam.
Dear Ankit,
Well, there are hundreds of institutes available in delhi itself.
Now, the candidates who are passing through SSC Stenographer
Examination, they are also opening their own institutes. You might have
heard some of them in your nearby. But there are only some of them which
are useful.
One is Kailash Chandra Institute at Greater Kailash. other is at R K
Puram, near the DPS RK Puram Market. Some are at INA Market. All of them
are using Kailash chandra magazines, so there will be no major
difference.
2) No, all the stenographers selected through Steno exam, will not be
posted in Delhi. It depends on Rank. All the top rank students will
have a chance to get posted in Delhi Ministries. But if you are not
having a good rank, they will definitely going to put you outside Delhi,
probably in the Southern Region, because there are a lots of vacancies
available for Stenographers.
Dear Archit,
First of all, if you clear both the examination of Stenographer Grade
‘D’ & ‘C’ i.e. written examination and steno typing, you will be
posted as Grade ‘C’. Your claim for Grade ‘D’ shall be forfieted
automatically because SSC will select you to serve as Grade ‘C’ in
ministries and departments.
Second, it will take around 7-8 months or so, depending on the circumstances, to get posting.
Initial salary will be approx 30-35k with GP 4600/-.

dear sir,
me govt. polytechnic saharanpur se modern office
management and secretarial practice m diploma kar rha hu.. kya is
diploma se mujhe koi benefit milega kya is steno exam m… kyuki is course
m shorthand and typing bhi h..
Dear Varun,
SSC only demands a candidate who is well versed with Shorthand and
typing. They even don’t want the certification from wherever you have
acquired the knowledge. It is good that you are already doing Office
Management and Secretarial Practice diploma. It would be beneficial for
you while working in govt ministries.
Normally, in India, there is no institute who is teaching gregg
shorthand, in my knowledge so far. Everyone is learning only Pitman
Shorthand. You may also be learning pitman shorthand.
Sir, plz tell me that if i started my shorthand preparations from
now onwards. ….so there is any possibility to crack the 2015 skill test
of stenographer grade c and grade d…
Dear Neha,
if you see there is still around 5-6 months left for the examination.
Possibly with hard work, you can crack the exam. However, if you have
not started the preparation yet, please start very soon. Do not be late.
Just prepare hard.
Dear Admin ! First of all, I want to thank you for sharing
valuable information with us . I’ve a few queries related to
stenography, Please guide me on this.
[1] I’m 23 years old & come under Gen. category, Do I have enough
time to start learning shorthand from the scratch and making my career
in stenography as a govt servant ?
[2] What would be my complete work profile if I get through in SSC ? How
SSC grp ‘C’ is differ from grp ‘D’ in terms of work profile, salary
& promotion ?
[3] what is the gross salaries of SSC grp ‘C’ & ‘D’ each and what
would be the expected salaries if 7th pay recommendations applied ?
Thank you !
Well, if you are preparing for SSC or some other examination, it
does not matter which shorthand you have learnt. What they are checking
is the transcription. If your transcribing power is good, then you must
be selected. No matter which shorthand you have used to write.
sir, please suggest me….
which is better relaxable job between ssc cgl (assistant CSS) and ssc stenographer Grade c?
what is posting critria of ssc stenographer grade C?
Once, you are selected as SSC Stenographer Grade C, you will be
happy to know that promotion aspects in Steno cadre is really awesome as
compared to Assistant in CSS. after steno grade c, you will be promoted
to Private Secretary (PS), then Senior PS. then, Principal PS, then Sr.
PPS and finally PSO (Principal Staff Officer) which is equivalent to
the rank of Director.
Gauri,
If you compare both the posts, I believe, Steno Grade C is more
relaxable than Assistant in CSS despite the same grade pay of Rs. 4600
(Conditions on Grade C : Some offices used to appoint Steno Grade C in
GP of 4200 also). In Assistant, you will report to your Officer i.e.
Section Officer, but other officers like US, DS even director can ask
favour of information. But in Steno C, you will be posted with one
officer only and that’s why its a peace mind job.
hello sir
muje puchna tha ki .. mene preference me grade c d bhra hai .. agr
marks ache aye aur c ke lie bulaya to kya d ke liye bi bulaya jayega
skill test ke.lie…bcz speed ni ayi to shyd d se bi hath dhona pade..
thank u sir.
If you have filled up Grade C & D in preference, and you have
scored so well, then you will be eligible to appear in both the skill
test. Grade C skill test will be conducted in morning session and in the
afternoon session, grade D test will be conducted.
There is no difference in the salary if a candidates has passed
either 12th or Graduation. The exam base is only Class 12th, so every
body will be judged on the performance of 12th standard.
Dear sir,
My name is Ragini Sinha. I am from Ranchi. I have been learning
shorthand since2011. Now I have become perfect in this. But still, there
is a main problem about my typing. My typing is not so good. I am
practicing it in typewriter. I know that SSC exams criteria is computer
based. Could you please help me out as how to become a good typist.
Waiting for your reply sir.
Hello Ragini,
First of all, I would like to know about your performance in typing
in respect of speed or accuracy. Are you not able to complete the given
transcription in prescribed time. Another thing is if you are practising
typing on typewriter, then you can easily type on computer even with a
very good speed.
However, if you are not good in typing at all, I suggest you to have
daily typing practice for atleat 2 hrs, depending upon your interest.
No you cannot pass the examination if you start from today. Better
try for the next year with very hard work. English speaking is not
necessary but knowledge of english is must.
Hello anurag!! First of all,I thank you for enlightening aspirants
regarding this exam..I have been learning shorthand since a month and
I’m planning to appear ssc exam this year…The written exam is on
December 27th..And the skill test is likely to be held in february..Is
it possible to make up speed of 100 wpm in a span of six months? I can
type 45 wpm with good accuracy …But I do it looking at the keyboard..Is
it requisite to learn touch typing? any advice and suggestions will be
highly appreciated..Thank you
Hello Shiva,
If you are looking for 100 wpm in 6 months, I would say it is a
complex task to do. People usually reach at 80 wpm in 6 months and even
after that they do not have confidence whether they can get through the
examination. At least one year is necessarily required with proper and
dedicated hard work to pass 100 wpm exam.
Your typing skill is good with 45 wpm but you do not have to look on
keyboard while typing. In exam, you will look into your notebook, not on
keyboard. Just time consuming process, get rid of this habit. No need
for touch typing. Just pick a keyboard from the market worth Rs. 150/-
only and let your hand work on it with hard typing.
Sir, I want to know the post of stenogrpher grade c , if there any
chance to get a job in abroad through grade c and the difference between
IFS & MEA in stenographer and which is the of these two department
.. And the last one is top 5 rank of grade c in which department
Please read in the above comments you will find answers regarding
the Grade C Post. Go to MEA for abroad posting. IFS and MEA is same. IFS
stands for Indian Foreign Service which is a cadre. while MEA is
Ministry of External Affairs which is a ministry dealing the matters
related to foreign affairs.
It depends on choice if will provide at the time of document
verification. Top 5 ranks will be posted as per the vacancy and options
exercised by the candidates.
Sir I have completed my basic course now I’ll start speed building
by doing magazines can I achieve 80 plus speed till skill test, and
probably in which month skill test will conduct? Thank you!
Sir, I have completed my basic course now I’ll do speed building
can I achieve 80 plus speed till skill test. Probably in which month
skill test will be conduct?
Amar,
SSC Will conduct written test in the month of December, 2015,
however, it will take hardly 2 months after written, and ssc will
declare the result. As soon as result is out, ssc will start calling
candidates for skill test. So, it will be about February OR March
starting week.
Pooja,
SSC CGL appoints candidates on various posts. Some of them are
equivalent to steno post and some are different. For example, a
candidate appointed as Assistant in CSS is equivalent to SSC STENO Gr- C
bcoz both of them are 4600 grade pay. while steno gr-D, is little low
bcoz it has 2400 grade pay.
That’s why, you can compare easily with grade pay.
sir pls help me……sir kya mai shorthand me single single word ki
transcription krke practice kru ….ya jaise kailash sir ki magazine me
combined word ka single transcription kr ke diya hai – waise practice
karu…sir pls help me….

sakte ya jo kailash sir ki volume me diya hai wese hi practice krni
hai….pls sir help me….
Dear Sunil,
It looks like you have recently started Steno preparation. Yes, the
words there are, we call them “Phrases”. They helps a lot in gaining
speed while writing at 100 wpm or 120 wpm.
If you are in 80 wpm now, you may practice them separately. Try to
practise them and you will see the benefit yourself at later stage.
Regards…
sir ek query or hai pls iska bhi answer de dena…..jaisa ki upr
comment mai apne btaya ki steno grade c ke employee ki promotion aage
kis kis post pr hoti hai…..meri query yeh hai ki jo grade c se aagey ki
promotion hoti hai – wo exam based hoti hai ya seniority based. ???……or
kya promotion ke liye 100 se jyada ki speed to nhi mangtey .????…pls sir
ans. jaruur dijiyega….thanks in advance
Sunil,
After Grade C, you will have to go for PS (Private Secretary). Which
is a departmental exam conducted by UPSC. You have to pass that exam, on
successful completion, you will be promoted as PS. After that, there is
no exam, promotion will be done on the basis of seniority.
thanks sir…..sir kya grade D employee direct private secretary ke
liye apply nhi kar saktey…??? and sir what is the eligibilty condition
for private secretary post- like age limit, steno speed etc????
No my friend, you cannot directly go for PS. Please read the
notification on UPSC Website with regard to Limited Departmental
Examination for Section Officer / Stenographer Gr B exam, and check the
eligibility of the same.
Hey anurag! Please check this link
“http://www.sscsr.gov.in/STENO2014-FINALRESULT-WRITEUP.pdf”.The list of
vacancies in each department and no. of vacancies is given in the
tabular.”Marks of
last selected candidate” and “Marks in Part 1 of last selected
candidate”..Can you explain these terms..I am clueless regarding the
term “Part 1”..What is part 1? The marks mentioned under part 1 are very
low.Please shed some light on this
Hello Shiva,
The list is easy to understand. Marks of Last candidate selected
means, the min marks required by the candidate to get selected in that
department. Marks in Part 1 means, marks secured by the candidates who
have been selected in Reasoning paper. This exam has 3 parts :
Reasoning, General Knowledge and English Comprehension.

Hello Aadai,
There is a very strict marking in Grade C Stenographers Exam.
Candidates needs to pass the examination with min.5% mistake i.e. 50
mistake (other than reserved candidates). So, if you write only 800
words out of 1000 words. you are skipping 200 words which is clearly
unacceptable. You will not be selected. Please try to make minimum
mistakes to 5% only.
I have already mentioned about salary for stenographers : http://www.anuraglive.in/ssc-stenographer-get-govt-job-easily/#comment-3632
Sir, First of all I would like to tell you that your each and every response is helping a lot to the needed one.
My shorthand speed is 40wpm only. I would like to know that if I can
reach up to 80wmp in 5 month from now ? If yes then how many hours do I
need to practice everyday ?
Hello admin! Can you please decribe the job profile of a
stenographer recruited through SSC? Work load,promotion chances etc., Is
it a good job like SSC CGL jobs?
Soon, I will try to post a complete job profile for SSC
Stenographer. For now, i can assure you that this is far better job than
SSC CGL jobs in all aspects….say promotion, work load, responsibility,
nature of duty…etc..
sir I really feel relieved and amazed on reaching ur site…. truely
this is the unique gift for the aspirants…. I bet many of us dont knw
the actual process of skill test. I have tried text to speech readers
but the voice is not Indian … right ur dictations really help a lot
but pls let me knw the exact level of speed in the real test and are the
15 files u gave us from the previous skill tests…. if not .. what will
be the topic of the dictation like…. thanking u once again for ur great
help… I await ur reply…
Thanks Ananth, that means a lot to us. Well, your concern about
dictations’ speed is absolutely right. There are fluctuations while
dictating. Suppose you write for 80 wpm, then it might go upto 90 on the
high side and upto 75 on the low side. Just a little up down is there.
SSC calls very highly professionals appointed in various Govt
departments on very reputed posts.
The topics could be from latest news. You can consider various debates happened in Loksabha or Rajyasabha…..
You need to work really hard Neha. If you writing 60 wpm at this
stage, first try to go for 80 wpm. It will take very much time bcoz as I
said in the article as well, Shorthand is a lengthy process and it must
be done with full dedication….
For better results, you need to practice typing daily for about 2 hrs…
Best of Luck !
Sir I prepared for ssc cgl and chsl…but I am new to this
stenographer exam..can u tell me what skill test is..how that process is
typing, dictating what is that stuff .. Can u elaborate that
process…and is it easy to type 100 wpm..how much practise is needed??
Thanks in advance..waiting for your response
Well prudhvi,
Its not like CGL or CHSL where you can prepare for exam in 6-7
months. Shorthand exam is a lengthy process it will take approx 1 years
to become fully able to write the examination. You can see most of the
people can pass written exam but still they could not clear the skill
test.
Its not typing speed actually….its writing speed where you need to
write a dictation at 100 wpm which is to be dictated by the officers
called up by SSC.
sir is possible to crack skill test with my full dedication &
effort if i start from today onwards. ( im consulted a insitiute that
it will provide full fledged special classes to me from today onwards) i
prepared for group exams 15-16 hrs per day if i put more then that
dedication in cracking stenography is its possible ? by the way my
typing speed is 35 words per minute . im fully depend on your valueble
suggetion sir!
yours obediently.
sarat chand.
Hello Sarat,
I can see Your dedication and hard work from your words. You can
prepare and crack the exam but wht about the skill test ? Are you
learning shorthand as well ? If Yes, then work hard. If no, then you
please try your luck next time. Bcoz skill test is considered to be a
major test in this exam rather than written exam. You can see from the
previous results, lots of candidates had cleared the exams but have been
failed in skill test.
That’s why, I would say first you decide whether you are prepared or not ?
this is only site giving fulfledged information about ssc steno .
we are very glad to you sir for your ocean of patience to answer all our
questions . your answers are 100% useful to all of us.
thank you..
Sir, I would like to ask you that I have applied for stenographer
group d examination, from himachal pradesh beacuse in there I am in OBC

thank u very very much,,,, for this information..
plz tell me.. im in 24 and im very worried about my career because now
days competition very hard and im from general…..whats the benefit of
shorthand in private sector and in which department more chances of
promotions
Hello Sumit,
Due to huge competition even in Steno exam also, it is really a hard
matter to pass. To get through this exam, you need to really work hard.
In private sector also, stenos are doing good. You will be a private
secretary to your officer. However, promotions benefits are good in both
public and private sector.
Hi Sir, I’m just preparing for ssc stenographer. Started learning
stenography online. If I get through, is there any chance of getting
posted in my hometown itself which is Kerala? Also I am a graduate in
engineering. Is there any chance of getting rejected since i am
overqualified?
First of all, I would like to tell you that if you just started to
learn, you cannot get through. The skill test considered to be the main
exam of which most of the candidates can’t secure name in merit list.
Here, I am not demoralizing you but telling you the truth.
IF by any chance, you have passed..then, state preference will not be
asked by SSC as they are now only asking about department preference.
So, would be very messy to tell that you can get kerala.
For your next point, SSC does not bother if you are graduate,
post-graduate or diploma. SSC wants only 10+2. At the time of document
verification, they will only ask your 12th class marksheets and other
testimonials. So, forget about rejection….
Hope I cleared your query.
Hello sir,my speed in steno is 100wpm but I couldn’t pass SSC
written exam till now.please suggest me.or tell me coaching center name
and address who clear exam within 1time .iam from Delhi.
Generally, SSC conduct skill test after 30-45 days. As soon as
written result is out, SSC starts selecting suitable candidates for
skill test and segregate them according to their roll no. Let’s say….If
written is going to be conducted for SSC Stenographer Exam 2015 in 31
Jan, 2016, then after one month the result will be out and
thereafter…they schedule the skill test dates.
And…Learning speed in 2-3 months is a far tedious job. Please work hard…
Sir,
I am very interested in Ministry of External Affairs. I want to know
approx. how many vacancies were opened for stenographer in MEA in last
few years?
Sir, Please confirm, whether I need to Submit a Certificate of
Shorthand issued by the State Board of Secondary Education during
Document Verification at SSC Regional Centre or Just 12th Certificate
only.
No need for Shorthand Certificate….Only academic certificates are
required. But for the time being, you can keep the certificate along
with you in case they ask for it.
Iam from kerala….first of all…let me congrajulate you…this blog is
amaizing……first and ever website to see real in-dept analysisi of ssc
steno.
i know stenography and i can clear the exam.
but last year also i cleared my exam and i went to skill test.
but i was not selected despite i have written shorthand well and even transcribed it well.
so my quetion is…..
iam from general category(UR)….
1. how much mark i want to score (in written exam) to make i will be inducted into the service?? (i got 125 marks last year)
2. what change i shall make in shorthand to make sure my place in top of rank list…to reduce mistakes..etc..
3. how much score i want to score to get into top “10” of ssc steno grade c.(in written exam).
4.where will be i placed after selected …(which office..pls say
precisely)…..i know it is very difficult….but pls give me an avg idea..
5.how much i want to score in written exam to get into top ’50’ of grade ‘c’…..and how to perform in skill test…….
6.pls tell me any another tips to get into the list….to assure my job…..execpt “hard work”…..
sorry sir ..if you feel bad….why i ask this bcoz i don’t want to miss this atleast this time….
thanku..sir..
Long list of querry….huh?
This year as the seats are pretty good. You can easily get through
the written part. To get into the list, please work hard. If you are
selected in written, at the time of skill test, SSC will ask you for
department preference. So, according to your preferred options, you will
be allocated a department / ministry. There is no other way except hard
work. If you missed the last time…I assure you with keen dedication,
this time you will definitely be selected…
Best of Luck !
Which department shall preffer(which has the most vacancy).
How long it will take to get posted after being selected. (after
skill test.. How many months)….. Can you give a rough idea of cut off
marks… For grade c and do…..
1. how long it will take to provide posting after skill test(if selected).
2.why you stenographer grade ‘c’ is better than ssc cgl.
3.will there be training before joining job (post selection)
after skill test, it will take 6-12 months to get posted.
Stenographers ‘C’ is far more good than CGL. bcoz of lots of benefits
i.e. Burden of work, responsibility, duty perspective, career growth
etc.
Yes, there will be training.
yes, you can learn but what if you have any doubt, who will going
to clear those doubts. Shorthand includes so many similar strokes. So,
only a teacher can help you distinguish them.
SIR I have a pg degree in commerce and I am learning shorthand but
my teacher says that It will take one year atleast to get perfect in
this and you said in one of your chat above that shorthand will take
only six months so I am not getting this properly could you explain this
to me
Look Vishal,
Learning shorthand is a tedious job. For some it takes 1 year while
for others, they can complete within 6 months. Here I am talking about
Theory part which depends on various institutes. whether these
institutes can finish the syllabus in 1 year or 6-8 months.
While you learn theory for 6-8 months. After that you will be
entering in Practical part i.e. Speed building course. which again take
atleast 6 months. So, it will take almost 1 to 1.5 years to complete the
course and be ready to write the exam at 80 wpm. For 100 wpm you need
to work very hard.
Dear sir
I m doing Iti with Stenography(hindi) plz tell me which govt job
demands steno certificate so that i get benifit of steno certificate…plz
tell me
r first of all happy new year.. !! sir my query is that if i will

sir kya SSC ne koi esi restrictions to nhi layai– like -ki ap 2 years
tak kisi post ko apply nhi kr sakte…. or ….during training ap kisi post
ko apply nhi kar sakte… like that…sir please reply jaroor krna …thanks
in advance
No there is no such restriction. You can apply after join or while
in service. However, please intimate the department about your exam.
It’s important.
hello sir. I am preparing for government jobs and learning steno
too but there’s one such problem that I used to wear a hearing aid in
one ear. just want to know that this thing can create any such problem
in skill test or in selection process. Is it possible that ssc wale do
not allow me to enter the skill test after knowing .please reply asap.
There is no problem at all. However, at the time of document
checking which is to be conducted a day before the skill test at the SSC
Regional Centre, you can specify your problem. But, I am sure they will
allow you for skill test.
Best of Luck !
Hi i have completed 25 year of age now and last six month i am
preparing for ssc steno exam . i have completed 115 chapters in new era
book . … As a genral candidate i have 3 attempt (2015 , and 2016 and
2017) …. Sir my question is …… Is there any possibilty to get success in
skill test in next one year. If i am doing steno 2 to 4 hour daily
.???
Sir i am 25 years old graduate. My maths and gs is really weak. I
have been doing private job at airport, but my salary and growth is not
satisfactory. I want to know ki kya mae stenography may career bana
sakta hu aur 27 ki age tak govt kob paa sakta hu. Plz help me
Look Arun, You have to work really hard. As you are having only 2
years however, there are some reservation rules using which the age can
be extended. If you are from General Category. Then please work hard.
Kya 25 ki age kay baad stenography may career banane ka koe scope
hae kya. Kyunki 27 ki age maangtay hae govt may. Kitna time lag jaayega
achaa stenographer banne may.
sir. can u tell me the promotion level and time period it takes
after stenographer grade c & d. please tell us the duties of this
job one perform after selection and at which post one do not need to
listen dictation . reply asap.
Its totally depends on the cadre in which you will get admit. If
you go with CSSS Cadre, after grade ‘D’, you will have to wait for 6
years for the limited departmental exam for grade ‘c’. Once you are
grade c stenographer, further promotions are quite fast. Promotion in
other departments also approximately similar. more or less 5 years will
be there.
How many hours a day will be sufficient to become a good stenographer. As i have enquired about the course near my home
They told me that classes will be of 8 hours a day and 6 days in week.
And course will be of 1 year and for typing another 6 months. That is
too long. Please suggest me if can work as well as learn stenography.
You can ask them about shorter duration. or you can also take
classes on Saturdays and sundays as well. It would be very hard to
prepare but you have to do it.
There are lots of books available in the market. You can go with
Kiran prakashan or arihant. Try practice sets daily. Most of the time
these practice sets enable you to write the exam efficiently and
effectively.
Well, it is unlikely to tell the posts where one has to get away
from dictations. Somehow or other you will have to write dictations. By
the way, there is nothing bad in it. You are having knowledge of
shorthand then, why do we fear for dictations in office. This is totally
depend on the officers, whether they wish to work directly on computers
or through dictations.
Sir aapki site ek baat mujhe jo sabse acchi lagi vo ke aap kisi ka
ques bhi ignore nahi karte thats y i also want ask some thing..
Sir mai English short hand ki classes le rha hu. Mujhe isse related jobs ke bare me details se bata dijiye.
Nd kuch ka khena h ke up board walo ko hindi ki short hand shikna chaheye english ka nahi………..
Well, Gaurav, you are learning english shorthand. Thats really
good. There is lots of scope in this field. You can check our website
for latest jobs on stenographers. We will soon start a service of this
kind on this website.
I am not really sure whether you should learn hindi shorthand if
applying from UP Board. There are lots of candidates who are working in
UP Departments with English Shorthand as well. So, it is completely
depends upon in which department you are applying.
its not like you will not have work while posted as Stenographer.
Work will be there and you have to do strict time management to prepare
for Civil Service / IAS Examination. Also, please always try to devote
your time to the work for which the salary you will be taking home. Do
justice with your job.

Sir…my query is same as of mitesh singh’s above…i also want to be
an ias officer but due to my bad financial condition I want a job.So sir
while working as a stenographer can I be able to continue my ias
preparation as one of my friend said that a stenographer has to do
multiple works in office so u can’t prepare for ias while working as a
stenographer…so sir plz tell me is this true.
To some extent, it is true. As a stenographer you have to assist
the officer with whom you are posted. So, if there is lots of work with
your officer, obviously he will seek help of yours. On the other hand,
preparing for IAS is a tough job. On the one hand, you have to devote
your energy in office and on the other hand, you have to prepare for
IAS. So, dedicated time management is necessary. Think wisely on this
topic.
is an average student can crack the “ssc” easily or noy…?
Yes, ofcourse an average student can crack the stenographer exam easily. The possibility of cracking the exam depends on its syllabus with which every student of any stream, is familiar. Also this exam is not including maths as the fourth subject which is the most important part and that is why many students are diverting to stenographer exam rather than going for ssc combined graduate level (cgl) exam.
Q2- those who are selected as stenographers will be posted in delhi only?
Well, there are hundreds of institutes available in delhi itself. Now, the candidates who are passing through SSC Stenographer Examination, they are also opening their own institutes. You might have heard some of them in your nearby. But there are only some of them which are useful.
One is Kailash Chandra Institute at Greater Kailash. other is at R K Puram, near the DPS RK Puram Market. Some are at INA Market. All of them are using Kailash chandra magazines, so there will be no major difference.
2) No, all the stenographers selected through Steno exam, will not be posted in Delhi. It depends on Rank. All the top rank students will have a chance to get posted in Delhi Ministries. But if you are not having a good rank, they will definitely going to put you outside Delhi, probably in the Southern Region, because there are a lots of vacancies available for Stenographers.
First of all, if you clear both the examination of Stenographer Grade ‘D’ & ‘C’ i.e. written examination and steno typing, you will be posted as Grade ‘C’. Your claim for Grade ‘D’ shall be forfieted automatically because SSC will select you to serve as Grade ‘C’ in ministries and departments.
Second, it will take around 7-8 months or so, depending on the circumstances, to get posting.
Initial salary will be approx 30-35k with GP 4600/-.
‘
me govt. polytechnic saharanpur se modern office management and secretarial practice m diploma kar rha hu.. kya is diploma se mujhe koi benefit milega kya is steno exam m… kyuki is course m shorthand and typing bhi h..
SSC only demands a candidate who is well versed with Shorthand and typing. They even don’t want the certification from wherever you have acquired the knowledge. It is good that you are already doing Office Management and Secretarial Practice diploma. It would be beneficial for you while working in govt ministries.
if you see there is still around 5-6 months left for the examination. Possibly with hard work, you can crack the exam. However, if you have not started the preparation yet, please start very soon. Do not be late. Just prepare hard.
[1] I’m 23 years old & come under Gen. category, Do I have enough time to start learning shorthand from the scratch and making my career in stenography as a govt servant ?
[2] What would be my complete work profile if I get through in SSC ? How SSC grp ‘C’ is differ from grp ‘D’ in terms of work profile, salary & promotion ?
[3] what is the gross salaries of SSC grp ‘C’ & ‘D’ each and what would be the expected salaries if 7th pay recommendations applied ?
Thank you !
I do not know if anybody in Delhi will be interested to teach or learn jain pranali stenography nowadays.
which is better relaxable job between ssc cgl (assistant CSS) and ssc stenographer Grade c?
what is posting critria of ssc stenographer grade C?
If you compare both the posts, I believe, Steno Grade C is more relaxable than Assistant in CSS despite the same grade pay of Rs. 4600 (Conditions on Grade C : Some offices used to appoint Steno Grade C in GP of 4200 also). In Assistant, you will report to your Officer i.e. Section Officer, but other officers like US, DS even director can ask favour of information. But in Steno C, you will be posted with one officer only and that’s why its a peace mind job.
muje puchna tha ki .. mene preference me grade c d bhra hai .. agr marks ache aye aur c ke lie bulaya to kya d ke liye bi bulaya jayega skill test ke.lie…bcz speed ni ayi to shyd d se bi hath dhona pade..
thank u sir.
We do not have audio recordings for Kailash Chandra Steno Transcriptions. We will try to arrange but it will take some time.
My name is Ragini Sinha. I am from Ranchi. I have been learning shorthand since2011. Now I have become perfect in this. But still, there is a main problem about my typing. My typing is not so good. I am practicing it in typewriter. I know that SSC exams criteria is computer based. Could you please help me out as how to become a good typist. Waiting for your reply sir.
First of all, I would like to know about your performance in typing in respect of speed or accuracy. Are you not able to complete the given transcription in prescribed time. Another thing is if you are practising typing on typewriter, then you can easily type on computer even with a very good speed.
However, if you are not good in typing at all, I suggest you to have daily typing practice for atleat 2 hrs, depending upon your interest.
What is the present gross salary of Stenographer grade ‘c’ and Grade ‘D’ in Delhi. Please tel sir… Thank you
Salary for the post of Grade D is approx 25k after deduction. and for tehe post of Gr.C, it will touch 40k.
If i learn stenography from today then can i clear skill test??
If you are looking for 100 wpm in 6 months, I would say it is a complex task to do. People usually reach at 80 wpm in 6 months and even after that they do not have confidence whether they can get through the examination. At least one year is necessarily required with proper and dedicated hard work to pass 100 wpm exam.
Your typing skill is good with 45 wpm but you do not have to look on keyboard while typing. In exam, you will look into your notebook, not on keyboard. Just time consuming process, get rid of this habit. No need for touch typing. Just pick a keyboard from the market worth Rs. 150/- only and let your hand work on it with hard typing.
It depends on choice if will provide at the time of document verification. Top 5 ranks will be posted as per the vacancy and options exercised by the candidates.
SSC Will conduct written test in the month of December, 2015, however, it will take hardly 2 months after written, and ssc will declare the result. As soon as result is out, ssc will start calling candidates for skill test. So, it will be about February OR March starting week.
SSC CGL appoints candidates on various posts. Some of them are equivalent to steno post and some are different. For example, a candidate appointed as Assistant in CSS is equivalent to SSC STENO Gr- C bcoz both of them are 4600 grade pay. while steno gr-D, is little low bcoz it has 2400 grade pay.
That’s why, you can compare easily with grade pay.
It looks like you have recently started Steno preparation. Yes, the words there are, we call them “Phrases”. They helps a lot in gaining speed while writing at 100 wpm or 120 wpm.
If you are in 80 wpm now, you may practice them separately. Try to practise them and you will see the benefit yourself at later stage.
Regards…
After Grade C, you will have to go for PS (Private Secretary). Which is a departmental exam conducted by UPSC. You have to pass that exam, on successful completion, you will be promoted as PS. After that, there is no exam, promotion will be done on the basis of seniority.
last selected candidate” and “Marks in Part 1 of last selected candidate”..Can you explain these terms..I am clueless regarding the term “Part 1”..What is part 1? The marks mentioned under part 1 are very low.Please shed some light on this
The list is easy to understand. Marks of Last candidate selected means, the min marks required by the candidate to get selected in that department. Marks in Part 1 means, marks secured by the candidates who have been selected in Reasoning paper. This exam has 3 parts : Reasoning, General Knowledge and English Comprehension.
I was thinking that there is no scope for stenography(shorthand), but after reading your blog , I understood that my thinking was wrong ,
Thank u sir once again

suppose I have done da dictations in 10 minutes well, and from 1000 words I hav complete oly 800 words so it will b select or not?and tel me abt salary for grade C & D
There is a very strict marking in Grade C Stenographers Exam. Candidates needs to pass the examination with min.5% mistake i.e. 50 mistake (other than reserved candidates). So, if you write only 800 words out of 1000 words. you are skipping 200 words which is clearly unacceptable. You will not be selected. Please try to make minimum mistakes to 5% only.
I have already mentioned about salary for stenographers :
http://www.anuraglive.in/ssc-stenographer-get-govt-job-easily/#comment-3632
In the skill test, what should we use to write shorthand with? pen or pencil? What do people generally use?
Do answer.
My shorthand speed is 40wpm only. I would like to know that if I can reach up to 80wmp in 5 month from now ? If yes then how many hours do I need to practice everyday ?
but pls let me knw the exact level of speed in the real test and are the 15 files u gave us from the previous skill tests…. if not .. what will be the topic of the dictation like…. thanking u once again for ur great help… I await ur reply…
The topics could be from latest news. You can consider various debates happened in Loksabha or Rajyasabha…..
For better results, you need to practice typing daily for about 2 hrs…
Best of Luck !
Its not like CGL or CHSL where you can prepare for exam in 6-7 months. Shorthand exam is a lengthy process it will take approx 1 years to become fully able to write the examination. You can see most of the people can pass written exam but still they could not clear the skill test.
Its not typing speed actually….its writing speed where you need to write a dictation at 100 wpm which is to be dictated by the officers called up by SSC.
yours obediently.
sarat chand.
I can see Your dedication and hard work from your words. You can prepare and crack the exam but wht about the skill test ? Are you learning shorthand as well ? If Yes, then work hard. If no, then you please try your luck next time. Bcoz skill test is considered to be a major test in this exam rather than written exam. You can see from the previous results, lots of candidates had cleared the exams but have been failed in skill test.
That’s why, I would say first you decide whether you are prepared or not ?
Thanking you
I kindly request to u sir plz give me proper guidance yor reply is useful 4 my future
thank u very very much,,,, for this information..
plz tell me.. im in 24 and im very worried about my career because now days competition very hard and im from general…..whats the benefit of shorthand in private sector and in which department more chances of promotions
Due to huge competition even in Steno exam also, it is really a hard matter to pass. To get through this exam, you need to really work hard.
In private sector also, stenos are doing good. You will be a private secretary to your officer. However, promotions benefits are good in both public and private sector.
IF by any chance, you have passed..then, state preference will not be asked by SSC as they are now only asking about department preference. So, would be very messy to tell that you can get kerala.
For your next point, SSC does not bother if you are graduate, post-graduate or diploma. SSC wants only 10+2. At the time of document verification, they will only ask your 12th class marksheets and other testimonials. So, forget about rejection….
Hope I cleared your query.
And…Learning speed in 2-3 months is a far tedious job. Please work hard…
I am very interested in Ministry of External Affairs. I want to know approx. how many vacancies were opened for stenographer in MEA in last few years?
i know stenography and i can clear the exam.
but last year also i cleared my exam and i went to skill test.
but i was not selected despite i have written shorthand well and even transcribed it well.
so my quetion is…..
iam from general category(UR)….
1. how much mark i want to score (in written exam) to make i will be inducted into the service?? (i got 125 marks last year)
2. what change i shall make in shorthand to make sure my place in top of rank list…to reduce mistakes..etc..
3. how much score i want to score to get into top “10” of ssc steno grade c.(in written exam).
4.where will be i placed after selected …(which office..pls say precisely)…..i know it is very difficult….but pls give me an avg idea..
5.how much i want to score in written exam to get into top ’50’ of grade ‘c’…..and how to perform in skill test…….
6.pls tell me any another tips to get into the list….to assure my job…..execpt “hard work”…..
sorry sir ..if you feel bad….why i ask this bcoz i don’t want to miss this atleast this time….
thanku..sir..
This year as the seats are pretty good. You can easily get through the written part. To get into the list, please work hard. If you are selected in written, at the time of skill test, SSC will ask you for department preference. So, according to your preferred options, you will be allocated a department / ministry. There is no other way except hard work. If you missed the last time…I assure you with keen dedication, this time you will definitely be selected…
Best of Luck !
2.why you stenographer grade ‘c’ is better than ssc cgl.
3.will there be training before joining job (post selection)
Stenographers ‘C’ is far more good than CGL. bcoz of lots of benefits i.e. Burden of work, responsibility, duty perspective, career growth etc.
Yes, there will be training.
Learning shorthand is a tedious job. For some it takes 1 year while for others, they can complete within 6 months. Here I am talking about Theory part which depends on various institutes. whether these institutes can finish the syllabus in 1 year or 6-8 months.
While you learn theory for 6-8 months. After that you will be entering in Practical part i.e. Speed building course. which again take atleast 6 months. So, it will take almost 1 to 1.5 years to complete the course and be ready to write the exam at 80 wpm. For 100 wpm you need to work very hard.
I m doing Iti with Stenography(hindi) plz tell me which govt job demands steno certificate so that i get benifit of steno certificate…plz tell me
SSC and other govt departments do not ask for shorthand certificate. However, PSUs and some defense departments may ask for that.
Best of Luck !
They told me that classes will be of 8 hours a day and 6 days in week. And course will be of 1 year and for typing another 6 months. That is too long. Please suggest me if can work as well as learn stenography.
Sir plzz mjhe kch books recommend kar dijiye jise ssc steno ka written clear ho jaye
Sir mai English short hand ki classes le rha hu. Mujhe isse related jobs ke bare me details se bata dijiye.
Nd kuch ka khena h ke up board walo ko hindi ki short hand shikna chaheye english ka nahi………..
I am not really sure whether you should learn hindi shorthand if applying from UP Board. There are lots of candidates who are working in UP Departments with English Shorthand as well. So, it is completely depends upon in which department you are applying.
