TL;DR

This is a free Hindi and English typing test for government-exam practice (CPCT, SSC and similar). The Hindi mode uses Mangal / Unicode with your device's InScript keyboard; it shows live WPM and accuracy and has an optional backspace-off strict mode so you can practise the way no-correction exams work. Speed is measured as (characters / 5) / minutes, and exams check gross speed and accuracy separately. Everything runs in your browser - no signup, nothing stored. It is a practice aid; confirm the exact font, layout, duration and required speed against your exam's official notification.

What the typing exam tests

A government typing skill test checks two things at once: your speed, measured in words per minute (WPM), and your accuracy, measured as the share of characters you got right. You are given a passage and a fixed time (commonly 10 to 15 minutes), and you must type the passage into the test interface. Many tests lock corrections - disabling Backspace, Delete and cut/copy/paste - so a mistake stays on the screen and pulls your accuracy down; but the exact locked keys vary by exam (some interfaces do allow Backspace), so this is not universal. The test is usually qualifying - you must clear the speed and accuracy bar to be selected, but it may not add marks to your final merit. Because the rules differ by exam and change between notifications, always read your exam's official notification for the exact numbers.

Mangal vs Kruti Dev

Hindi typing in Indian exams happens in one of two systems. Mangal is a Unicode font typed with the InScript keyboard layout, the modern standard that works everywhere - in Word, on the web, and in search. Kruti Dev (usually Kruti Dev 010) is a legacy, non-Unicode font typed with the Remington / Gail layout; its text is really Latin characters that only look like Hindi when the Kruti Dev font is installed. Some exams let you pick either system and others fix one, so check your notification. This tool's Hindi mode practises Mangal / Unicode (InScript). If you work with legacy Kruti Dev documents, you can convert them to Unicode with our KrutiDev to Unicode converter or see every direction on the Hindi Font Converter hub.

How WPM and accuracy are calculated

By convention one word equals five key depressions (keystrokes), so your speed is (characters typed / 5) / minutes. That is why an exam may quote 35 WPM as 10,500 key depressions per hour (35 x 5 x 60). Gross speed counts every character you type; net speed counts only the correctly typed characters. Accuracy is the percentage of typed characters that match the passage. Exams generally compare your gross speed to the threshold and your accuracy (or error count) separately, which is why this tool shows both - chasing speed while your accuracy drops below the limit will not pass.

How to improve your typing speed

  • Accuracy before speed. When a test locks corrections, a clean slow run beats a fast error-filled one. Turn on Strict mode here to train without Backspace.
  • Short daily practice. 15 to 30 focused minutes a day beats one long weekly session; muscle memory builds with repetition.
  • Touch type. Keep fingers on the home row and watch the screen, not the keyboard, so your eyes track errors as they happen.
  • Repeat then vary. Type the same passage a few times to lock in the keys, then switch to a new passage to stay flexible.

Exam-day tips

Reach the centre early and confirm which font and layout your slot uses (Mangal or Kruti Dev) before the test starts. Read the first line, then settle into a steady rhythm rather than sprinting - a consistent pace with few errors clears the bar more reliably than bursts of speed. If your test disables Backspace, do not hunt for it - keep moving forward. And remember the numbers on this page are a guide: your exam's official notification is the authority for the required speed, accuracy, font and duration.

Sources

Speed/format figures summarise the SSC skill-test rules (ssc.gov.in) and the CPCT typing section (cpct.mp.gov.in) as of mid-2026. These change between notifications; always confirm the current font, layout, duration and required speed/accuracy in your exam's official notification. This tool is a practice aid and is not an official test.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I increase my Hindi typing speed?+
Speed comes from short, daily, accurate practice, not occasional long sessions. Type for 15 to 30 minutes every day, keep your fingers on the home row, and look at the screen rather than the keyboard. Prioritise accuracy first: in exams that disable Backspace, an error cannot be fixed, so a slightly slower but clean run scores better than a fast, error-filled one. Practise the same passage a few times to build muscle memory, then switch to a new one. With steady effort most learners move from about 20 to 30+ words per minute over four to six weeks.
Mangal or Kruti Dev - which font should I practise in?+
It depends on your exam. Mangal is a Unicode font typed with the InScript keyboard layout; Kruti Dev (often Kruti Dev 010) is a legacy font typed with the Remington/Gail layout. Some exams let you choose either, while others fix one - for example SSC allows Kruti Dev 010 (Remington Gail) or Mangal (InScript) for the Hindi paper. Always confirm the exact font and layout in your exam's official notification before you commit to one. This tool's Hindi mode practises Mangal/Unicode (InScript); a Kruti Dev mode is planned for a later version.
What typing speed is required for SSC and CPCT?+
For SSC (CGL/CHSL skill test) the usual requirement is 35 words per minute in English (about 10,500 key depressions per hour) or 30 words per minute in Hindi (about 9,000 key depressions per hour). CPCT (Madhya Pradesh) has a typing section of around 30 minutes split between English and Hindi. These figures and the qualifying/accuracy rules change from notification to notification, so treat them as a guide and confirm the current numbers in your exam's official notification. The typing test is usually qualifying - you must meet the speed and accuracy bar, but it may not add marks to your final merit.
How is typing speed (WPM) calculated?+
By convention one word equals five key depressions (keystrokes), so words per minute = (characters typed / 5) / minutes. That is why 35 WPM is quoted as 10,500 key depressions per hour (35 x 5 x 60). 'Gross' speed counts everything you type; 'net' speed counts only the correctly typed characters. Exams usually check your gross speed against the threshold and your accuracy (or error percentage) separately, so this tool shows both your gross WPM and your accuracy. Watch the two together: hitting the speed bar is no good if your accuracy is below the exam's limit.
Is backspace allowed in the typing exam?+
It depends on the exam. Several government typing tests (for example the SSC skill test) lock corrections by disabling Backspace, Delete and cut/copy/paste, so a character you type stays as typed and errors cannot be fixed - which is why accuracy matters so much. But this is not universal: some interfaces, depending on the exam and the year's notification, do allow Backspace. Turn on this tool's 'Strict mode (no backspace)' to practise the no-correction case so you learn to type cleanly the first time, and always confirm exactly which keys your exam disables in its official notification.
How do I type Hindi in Mangal/Unicode here?+
Mangal mode uses your device's own Hindi (InScript) keyboard - there is no built-in on-screen keyboard in this version. On Windows, go to Settings, Time and Language, Language, add Hindi, then switch input with Win+Space and pick the Devanagari InScript layout. On Android, open Gboard, Languages, and add Hindi (InScript). Once the Hindi keyboard is active, click the typing box and start typing; the tool reads the Unicode Devanagari you produce and scores it. If you do not have a Hindi keyboard set up yet, you can still use the English mode to practise.
Does this tool support Kruti Dev / Remington typing?+
Not in this version. v1 covers Hindi in Mangal/Unicode (InScript) and English. Kruti Dev is a non-Unicode legacy font designed for desktop installation rather than the web, and a faithful Remington-layout practice mode needs separate work, so it is planned for a later update rather than shipped here. If your exam requires Kruti Dev specifically, practise the layout in dedicated Kruti Dev software for now and use this tool for Mangal/Unicode and English.
Is this typing test free, and is my data saved?+
It is completely free with no signup. Everything runs in your browser: the passage, your keystrokes, and your score are processed on your device and nothing is sent to a server, stored, or tracked. Refreshing the page clears everything. It is a practice aid, not an official test - always confirm the exact font, layout, duration, and required speed/accuracy against your exam's official notification.
