हिंदी टाइपिंग टेस्ट — practise in Mangal (Inscript) or Kruti Dev (Remington) and see your speed against the 30 WPM SSC asks for. Nothing to install.
Practise the one your exam uses, because the two layouts put letters in different places and switching between them costs a lot of speed. SSC requires Mangal, which is typed with the Inscript layout. Some state recruitment, court and municipal typing tests still use Kruti Dev with the Remington layout; their notices say which.
If you are starting from scratch and your exam does not decide for you, learn Inscript. It is the layout built into Windows, macOS, Android and iPhone for Hindi, and the same key positions carry over to other Indian scripts.
Pick a duration and a layout, then start typing; the timer starts on your first key. Letters you type correctly turn dark and mistakes are marked in red as you go. When the time runs out you see your net and gross speed, accuracy, key depressions per hour, and the words you got wrong.
The passages are written for this page in the plain, formal style of exam skill-test passages, and come in a new order every time, so you are practising typing rather than memorising.
Learn the home row first and keep your fingers there. On Inscript, the vowel signs are under your left hand and the most common consonants under your right, so a few days of slow, accurate practice with your eyes on the screen pays off quickly.
Practise for ten to fifteen minutes every day rather than for hours once a week, and use the 10 minute test regularly, since keeping a steady speed for the full duration is harder than a short burst. Turn backspace off now and then to get used to keeping going after a slip.
Hindi has more places to slip than English, because one syllable can need several key presses. The usual trouble spots are the short and long vowel signs (ि and ी, ु and ू), the anusvara and chandrabindu (ं and ँ), the halant (्) used to join letters, and the nukta (़) under letters such as ड़ and ढ़. A single wrong sign makes the whole word count as wrong.
If your score is lower than you expect, look at the words you got wrong on the result screen rather than at the speed alone. You will usually see the same few patterns, and practising those words slowly fixes more than another full test would.
Week one: type slowly on the home row and focus on getting every matra right. Do not look at the keyboard, and stop worrying about speed. Week two: use 3 and 5 minute tests and aim for accuracy above 95 percent before you push the speed.
From week three: take the 10 minute test two or three times a week and keep the shorter tests for warm-ups. Write down your net speed each time so you can see the trend, and change layout only if your exam notice tells you to.
It is made for anyone who has a Hindi typing test coming up, such as SSC, state clerk and court recruitment, or a data entry job, and for students who want to type Hindi faster for school or work. The passages are written in the plain, formal language those exams use, so you practise the kind of text you are likely to see.
The test is a practice tool and not an official one. Pass marks, fonts and the way errors are counted differ between exams, so read your own notice and follow it.
No. Choose Inscript (Mangal) or Remington (Kruti Dev) and type on your normal English keyboard; the page turns your key presses into Hindi itself. If you already use a Hindi keyboard, such as Gboard on a phone, choose My Hindi keyboard instead.
SSC's 2026 notice for the Combined Higher Secondary Level exam says Hindi typing must be done in Mangal font only, and typing in any other font means the candidate does not qualify. Mangal is a Unicode font, normally typed with the Inscript layout. Check the notice for your own exam, as other bodies set their own rules.
For LDC and JSA posts, the SSC CHSL 2026 notice asks for 30 words per minute in Hindi, which it equates to about 9,000 key depressions per hour, typed in 10 minutes. English is 35 words per minute.
Inscript is the standard layout for typing Hindi in Unicode fonts like Mangal; its vowels sit on the left of the keyboard and consonants on the right. Remington (GAIL) is the older typewriter layout used with Kruti Dev fonts, where some letters are typed in a different order, such as ि before the consonant. Practise the one your exam uses.
As in most typing tests, five characters count as one word. Net speed counts only the characters you typed correctly, so mistakes lower it; gross speed counts everything you typed.
Yes, with My Hindi keyboard: switch your phone's keyboard to Hindi and type as normal. The Inscript and Remington options need a physical keyboard, since phone keyboards do not send the key positions they rely on.
Most mistakes in Hindi come from matras (vowel signs), half letters and conjuncts rather than from the main consonants. A missed ि, ु or ् changes the whole word, and the test marks it as wrong. Slow down a little on words with joined letters until your fingers know where each sign sits, then build speed back up.
Yes. Turning backspace off is a good way to prepare for exams that count every error. Use it for some of your sessions, and keep it on for the others so you can learn from your corrections.
Ten to fifteen minutes a day for a few weeks works better than one long session a week. Take a 10 minute test at least twice a week, because holding the same speed for the whole time is harder than a short burst.
No. The test runs in your browser, and what you type is never uploaded. Nobody else can see your passages or your score.
