Krutidev Typing Test

Krutidev is not really a typing style — it is a legacy non-Unicode font whose keyboard arrangement is the old Remington typewriter layout. Exams that say "Krutidev 010" are testing Remington-layout typing. This page lets you practise typing accuracy and speed on Hindi exam-register passages using your own Remington/Krutidev keyboard setup; your input is compared as modern Unicode Devanagari. It practises accuracy and speed — it does not emulate the exam software or the legacy font encoding, and it says so honestly.

Net WPM = gross WPM minus uncorrected errors per minute — exams score net, so an error you fixed with backspace costs time, but an error you left costs a full word.

How to use this tool

  1. Set up a Remington layout

    In Windows, add the Hindi (Remington GAIL) keyboard, or use your existing Krutidev typing setup with a Unicode output tool — the key positions are what you are practising.

  2. Type the exam-register passage

    Passages match the formal register CPCT and state exams use. Every akshara is checked with matra-aware comparison.

  3. Score against exam benchmarks

    You get gross and net WPM — net is what exams score — plus history on this device to track your build-up week by week.

Questions people ask

What exactly is Krutidev?

A family of legacy Hindi fonts from the pre-Unicode era. It stores Devanagari as re-mapped Latin codepoints, which is why Krutidev text turns to gibberish in a normal editor. The typing layout that comes with it is the Remington typewriter arrangement — that layout, not the font, is what exams actually test.

Krutidev vs Mangal — what is the real difference?

Two different keyboard layouts, usually named by their font. "Krutidev typing" means the Remington layout with the legacy Krutidev font; "Mangal typing" means the InScript layout with the Unicode Mangal font. Same Hindi output, very different finger positions — pick the one your exam specifies and stick to it.

Does this page emulate the real Krutidev exam software?

No, and we would rather tell you that than pretend. It trains what transfers: key-position muscle memory (via your own Remington layout), accuracy under a clock, and net-WPM scoring. The exam hall software differs cosmetically; the typing skill is the same.

Which exams use Krutidev / Remington typing?

Many state-level posts — MP (via CPCT), Rajasthan, UP and Chhattisgarh clerk/steno recruitments commonly allow or require Remington-layout Hindi. Always check your specific notification, as some now accept InScript too.

How do I type in Remington layout on a modern computer?

Windows ships a "Hindi Traditional/Remington (GAIL)" keyboard under language settings, and free IMEs offer Remington modes with Unicode output. That combination gives you authentic key positions with text that works everywhere.
