Hindi typing for government exams
Hindi typing is required for clerical posts across Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi and in central recruitments where candidates choose Hindi as their typing medium. Each Hindi word takes more keystrokes than an English word because of matras, half letters and conjuncts, which is why exams set a lower Hindi speed — commonly 25 to 30 words per minute.
Three ways to type Hindi
InScript is the Indian standard layout and types Unicode text in spoken order; it is what “Mangal typing” usually means. Remington Gail produces Unicode with the old typewriter key positions. Kruti Dev is the legacy font on the same Remington positions, still used in many typing institutes. Pick yours from the menu above; the keyboard chart under the test shows every key.
How we check Hindi text
Your typing is compared with the passage in normalised Unicode, one written character (grapheme) at a time, so कि is one character, not two. Words are matched separately, so a mistake in one word does not shift the rest of the passage. After the test you get net and gross WPM, accuracy and a list of wrong, missed and extra words.

Frequently asked questions
Which Hindi layout should I choose?+
Use the layout your exam allows. InScript is the government standard for Unicode (Mangal). Remington Gail and Kruti Dev follow the old typewriter positions and are common in UP, MP, Rajasthan and Bihar.
Do I need to install a Hindi font or keyboard?+
No. The site converts your key presses to Hindi in the browser and shows the text in a Unicode Devanagari font.
How is Hindi typing speed calculated?+
Five Unicode characters, including spaces, count as one word — the same rule as English. Net speed subtracts a word per minute for each mistake.
What Hindi speed do exams ask for?+
Usually 25–30 WPM: for example 30 WPM for SSC CHSL (Hindi) and 25 WPM for UPSSSC, as commonly published. Confirm in your notice.
Can I type Hindi on my phone?+
Choose “My own Hindi keyboard / phone” in the layout menu and type with your phone's Hindi keyboard. For exam practice, use a computer.
Why does ि come first in Kruti Dev?+
Kruti Dev and Remington copy the typewriter, where you type what you see from left to right. ि appears before the consonant, so it is typed first.
