Open the original- What it measures
- The advertisement invites applications for English and Hindi stenographer posts. The speeds are listed as eligibility requirements, in the same form as the 2013 advertisement, which asked for 35 words per minute in Hindi typing.
- What it does not show
- This is an eligibility requirement for one court's stenographer posts, issued a year after the 2013 advertisement. It is not a correction to that notice, and it is not a measured average.
