Instructions & scoring
Remington (Kruti Dev) layout, the one many Hindi typing tests set - your exam's notification says which layout it uses. The clock starts when you press your first key.
SSC CHSL 2026 specifies Hindi 30 WPM, Mangal font and 10 minutes. The 15-minute option applies only to candidates eligible under the notice. This is not the official test software. These are our practice passages, not official exam papers.
On a phone this keyboard is a guide. Real exam practice is best done on a computer keyboard.

How to use
- Choose Practice test and the length of your exam - 10 min for an SSC CHSL-style test, 15 or 30 min to build stamina.
- Type the passage without looking down. Wrong keys turn red. Correct them only if your exam allows backspace.
- Read Net WPM and accuracy on the result, and write them in the progress log to compare week by week.
Tip:Exams score speed and accuracy together. A clean 28 WPM usually beats a careless 35, so get accuracy above 95% first.
Common problems & fixes
- My speed collapses in a full-length test
- That is stamina, not skill: short tests flatter everyone. In the last three weeks, sit at least one full-length test a day. Pause and resume rather than abandoning a run.
- I keep mistyping ि
- In Kruti Dev the ि sign is typed before its consonant:
fdfor कि. Repeat lesson 6 until it is automatic - it is the commonest error in exam passages. - The exam keyboard layout was not the one I practised
- Remington and InScript are different keyboards. The notification names the layout or the font (Kruti Dev means Remington and Mangal usually means InScript). Practise only that one.
- Conjuncts and half letters slow me down
- क्ष, त्र, श्र and the half letters have their own keys or key pairs. The matra and conjunct chart lists each with its exact keys.

Which exams test Hindi typing
Hindi typing is a qualifying skill test in many recruitments: the SSC CHSL typing test for LDC and JSA posts, CPCT in Madhya Pradesh, High Court and district court exams for typists and clerks, and state clerical exams such as the Rajasthan LDC (Clerk Grade II). The rules change from one notification to the next, so treat the figures below as typical and check yours for the final word.
- SSC CHSL (LDC, JSA): 10 minutes on a computer. Hindi needs 30 words per minute, which SSC defines as 9,000 key depressions an hour at five key depressions a word. The test only qualifies: it adds no marks. SSC's skill-test instructions for CHSL 2021 listed InScript, Kruti Dev, Remington (GAIL) and Remington (CBI) as the Hindi layouts, so check the list in your notice. Candidates eligible for a scribe get compensatory time under SSC's rules.
- CPCT (Madhya Pradesh): Section B has an English and a Hindi typing test of 15 minutes each, typed in Unicode on Remington (GAIL) or InScript. The scorecard reports speed and accuracy for each. To qualify you need 20 net WPM in Hindi and 30 in English, and a post can ask for more.
- High Court, district courts and state clerk posts: the speed, the font and the error limit are set by each notification. Many still use Kruti Dev 010 on the Remington layout.
Passage length, time and errors
At 30 WPM a 10-minute test is 1,500 key depressions: 300 words of five keystrokes. Errors are counted against the passage. Most notifications count an omitted, wrong or extra word as a full mistake, and spacing, punctuation or capitalisation as a half mistake. The share of errors allowed differs by post and category, and the exact weights are in your notification. Get errors under 5% first, then push the speed.
How your speed is counted
Exams count key depressions: every keystroke counts, and five keystrokes make one word. In Kruti Dev one Hindi letter can take two or three keys - भ is Hk, क्ष is {k - so 30 WPM in Hindi means fewer Hindi words than it sounds. The test on this page counts the same way, and its headline figure is net WPM: correct keystrokes only.
Practise the way the test is taken
Use the same layout as your exam, sit the full length, and keep your eyes on the passage rather than your hands. Warm up with the printable practice sheets, and if you are still learning the keys, start with the lessons in the Hindi typing tutor. The speed tips guide has a four-week plan, and Remington vs InScript explains the two layouts. Remington (GAIL) and Remington (CBI) are typewriter-style layouts too, but they do not match Kruti Dev key for key, so if your exam uses one of them, practise in that layout's demo as well.
