How This Hindi Typing Test Works

The passage is shown in readable Hindi (Devanagari script). When you press English keys, they are converted to Hindi characters using the Remington Kruti Dev mapping — exactly as it works on government exam computers running Kruti Dev 010 font. For example: d → क, f → ा, g → त, h → ल, j → य. The on-screen keyboard shows every mapping. Press the corresponding English key and the Hindi character is typed.

Conjunct Shortcuts and Auto-Skip

Kruti Dev provides shortcut capital-letter keys for common Devanagari conjuncts: J → ज्ञ (gya), K → श्र (shra), Z → र् (half ra), B → श् (half sha), M → ड् (half da). When the passage contains these conjuncts, pressing one key inputs all 2–3 characters at once. Standalone vowels (अ, ए, इ, ओ) require complex multi-key combinations that vary across keyboards, so they are auto-typed and shown in grey. Your WPM counts only the characters you actively typed.

SSC CHSL Hindi Typing Standard

For LDC and JSA posts: 30 WPM in Hindi (9,000 keystrokes per hour) over a 10-minute test, with up to 7% mistakes allowed. Most candidates require 3–6 months of consistent daily practice to reach 30 WPM. Maintain proper finger position (left fingers on A-S-D-F, right on J-K-L-;), don't look at the keyboard, and prioritize accuracy first. Also practice the English Typing Test if your post requires both languages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Remington Kruti Dev 010 layout?
Remington is the keyboard layout used with Kruti Dev font for Hindi typing on government exam computers. Each English key maps to a Hindi character — for example, d → क, f → ा, g → त, h → ल. SSC and most state government typing exams use this layout, not InScript or phonetic.
What is the typing speed required for SSC CHSL in Hindi?
30 WPM in Hindi (9,000 keystrokes per hour) for LDC and JSA posts. Up to 7% mistakes allowed during the 10-minute test. Note: WPM in Hindi is calculated similarly to English (5 characters = 1 word) on the typed keystrokes.
Why are some characters auto-typed in grey?
Standalone vowels (अ, ए, इ, उ, ओ, औ) require special multi-key combinations in Kruti Dev that vary between keyboards. To keep practice fair and aligned with what your exam fingers will actually type, this tool auto-skips standalone vowels and shows them in grey. WPM counts only the characters you actively typed.
What are the conjunct shortcut keys (J, K, Z, B, M)?
Kruti Dev provides shortcut keys for common Devanagari conjuncts: J → ज्ञ (gya), K → श्र (shra), Z → र् (half ra), B → श् (half sha), M → ड् (half da). When the passage contains these conjuncts, press the corresponding capital letter to type them in one keystroke instead of three.
How is this different from InScript or phonetic typing?
InScript uses a different layout designed by the Government of India where each key directly maps to a Devanagari character (used in Hindi Wikipedia and most modern apps). Phonetic typing (like Google Hindi Input) writes "kamal" → "कमल". Remington Kruti Dev is the legacy layout still mandated by SSC, Courts, and most state PSCs for Hindi typing tests.
