Nepal Typing Tests — Lok Sewa Aayog
Nepal's Public Service Commission, known as Lok Sewa Aayog, is the central authority for civil service recruitment. Typing skill tests apply to Section Officer (Adhikrit), Nayab Subba (Section Officer assistant), Kharidar (Officer Grade 4), and several specialised Bibidh services. Nepali is written in Devanagari script and uses InScript-style keyboard layouts for Unicode-compliant typing on the test platform.

Most Lok Sewa typing tests are in Nepali (Devanagari script) on a Unicode-compliant InScript layout. Some bilingual cadres in foreign affairs, customs, and inter-ministry communication also test English typing.
Lok Sewa Aayog uses standardised exam-centre platforms with Mangal-equivalent Unicode rendering for Devanagari Nepali. Confirm the specific layout in your admit-card instructions.
Mostly yes — the keyboard layout is identical (InScript), and Devanagari letter mappings are the same. Practising on a Mangal Hindi typing test transfers cleanly to Nepali typing. The vocabulary differs but the typing mechanics are the same.
Use our Nepal Lok Sewa typing test page for full passage practice. The simulator runs on Devanagari Unicode with passages drawn from formal Nepali administrative prose.
Indian Hindi-typing aspirants will find the InScript layout familiar — see our SSC CHSL Hindi (Mangal Unicode) page for a sister typing pattern. Bangladesh BPSC and Sri Lanka PSC are adjacent regional civil services with parallel preparation paths.
