Typing skills for jobs in Nepal
Computer skills are now expected in almost every office in Nepal, and fast, accurate English typing is one of the most useful of them. Here's what different employers usually look for:
| Employer | What's usually tested |
|---|---|
| Banks & financial institutions | English typing, numbers and data entry accuracy |
| NGOs & INGOs | English typing for reports, proposals and email |
| IT, BPO & remote work | English typing speed, often 40+ WPM |
| Government & office posts | Computer and typing skills; requirements vary by post |
A simple practice plan
- Week 1: learn the home, top and bottom rows with the touch typing lessons. No looking at the keyboard.
- Week 2: one test on this page every day, aiming for 95% accuracy.
- Week 3: build stamina with the 5-minute test and practise the format with the job typing test.
- Bank or data roles: add the 10-key test and the data entry test.
