Karnataka Typing Tests — State PSC & Clerical
Karnataka's clerical recruitment runs through KPSC (Karnataka Public Service Commission) and KEA (Karnataka Examination Authority) for FDA (First Division Assistant), SDA (Second Division Assistant), and Junior Assistant cadres. Kannada typing on Tunga/KGP Unicode at 25 WPM is the standard, with the legacy Nudi keyboard still common in older Karnataka government offices. Bengaluru and Mysuru are the major coaching centres.
