Tamil Nadu Typing Tests — State PSC & Clerical
Tamil Nadu's clerical recruitment runs through TNPSC (Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission) for Group IV, VAO (Village Administrative Officer), Junior Assistant, and Stenographer cadres. Tamil typing on InScript Unicode at 25 WPM is the standard, with the legacy Bamini ASCII layout still ships at some older test centres. Chennai, Coimbatore, and Madurai are the main coaching centres.
