Which Hindi keyboard layout should I choose for government exams?
It depends on the exam. CPCT and most Madhya Pradesh government exams use Krutidev (Remington) layout. SSC CHSL Hindi typing uses Mangal (Remington GAIL) or Inscript. Check your specific exam notification for the required layout. If unsure, Inscript is the standard layout built into Windows.
What is the difference between Krutidev and Mangal layouts?
Krutidev uses ASCII-based encoding where you type English characters that render as Hindi glyphs using the Krutidev font. Mangal (Remington GAIL) uses Unicode encoding where you type Hindi characters directly via the OS input method. Both use similar key positions based on the Remington typewriter layout, but the underlying encoding differs.
How do I install a Hindi keyboard layout on Windows?
For Inscript: Go to Settings > Time & Language > Language > Add Hindi, then switch using Win+Space. For Krutidev: Download the Kruti Dev font and install it no special keyboard setup needed since you type ASCII characters. For Mangal: Add Hindi language in Windows settings and select the Hindi Traditional (Remington GAIL) input method.
What typing speed is required for CPCT exam?
The CPCT (Computer Proficiency Certification Test) requires a minimum of 30 WPM in Hindi typing. The test duration is 15 minutes. You need to pass both English (30 WPM) and Hindi (30 WPM) sections independently to get the CPCT certificate.
