Government job notifications often list a computer qualification as a must-have. This guide explains the common ones and where to prepare between Dahisar and Palghar.
Quick answer
Short answer: for most Maharashtra state posts the computer requirement is MS-CIT or an equivalent; for many central government posts it is CCC by NIELIT; clerk and typist posts usually also need a typing speed certificate (Marathi and/or English). Read the notification carefully – it decides which certificate counts.
