Marathi typing for Maharashtra jobs
Many Maharashtra government posts, such as clerk-typist positions, ask for Marathi and English typing speed, commonly 30 WPM in Marathi and 40 WPM in English, often backed by the state GCC-TBC typing certificate. Check your recruitment advertisement for the exact standard.
Marathi uses the Devanagari script, so the Inscript layout is the same as Hindi. Letters specific to Marathi, like ळ, are on the Inscript keyboard too (Shift + n).
Writing Marathi without learning a layout
For everyday Marathi writing, the Marathi typing tool converts English letters to Marathi as you type.
