What Does a Stenographer Do?
Stenographers take dictation in shorthand, transcribe it on the computer, draft letters and handle confidential correspondence for senior officers or managing directors. In public sector companies like KTDC and Milma, they also manage meeting notes and office communication.
Typical Qualification
Stenographer posts usually need SSLC or higher, plus KGTE (or equivalent) certificates in English Typewriting and English Shorthand at the higher grade, and often Malayalam typewriting and shorthand at the lower grade, along with a computer word processing certificate. The exact rule varies by organisation – check your notification. See our KGTE typewriting certificate guide.

The written exam is the SSLC-level common test:

One-third negative marking applies.
