Free Hindi Typing Test Online – Practice and Improve Your Speed
Use this free Hindi Typing Speed Test to practise Hindi typing, measure your speed and accuracy, and build consistent keyboard skills. The practice text and typing modes are designed to support learning. They are not an official exam interface, and the exact font, keyboard layout, passage format and test rules may differ between recruitment bodies and individual notifications.
Understanding the Typing Modes
Typing tests can apply different correction rules. These practice modes let you train with different Backspace settings; they should be treated as practice options, not as a guarantee of the rules used by a particular exam.
1. Simple Mode
Best for: Beginners & Learning
In this mode, there are no restrictions. You can use the Backspace key freely to correct mistakes anywhere in the text. Use this mode to memorize the keyboard layout and build your initial speed.
2. SSC (Restricted)
Best for: SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS
This is a practice simulation in which you can correct the current word, while words already completed are locked after you press Space. Check the current SSC notification and test instructions for the actual correction rules.
3. CRPF (Disabled)
Best for: Accuracy-focused practice
This practice mode disables the Backspace key, so mistakes cannot be corrected during the test. Use it to train careful typing; do not assume every paramilitary or police exam uses this exact rule.
How to Switch from English to Hindi Keyboard?
To type in Hindi, you must enable the "Hindi Indic Input 3" or standard Hindi keyboard on your Windows PC. You do not need to download third-party software.
Step-by-Step Guide for Windows 10/11:
- Press the Windows Key and search for "Language settings".
- Click on "Add a language" and type "Hindi" in the search bar.
- Select Hindi and click "Next", then "Install".
- Once installed, click on the Hindi language pack options and ensure "Hindi Traditional" or "Hindi Inscript" keyboard is added.
- Shortcut: To switch between English and Hindi while typing, press Alt + Shift or Windows + Space.
InScript vs. Remington-Style Hindi Keyboard Layouts
InScript and Remington-style layouts are different keyboard arrangements. The correct layout for an examination depends on that exam authority’s current instructions; do not assume one layout is used by every SSC or government recruitment test.
| Feature | Inscript (Mangal) | Remington (Kruti Dev) |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | Unicode Based | TrueType Font (Legacy) |
| Keyboard Layout | Logical (Vowels Left, Consonants Right) | Typewriter Style |
| Exam Usage | Depends on the specific exam notification | Depends on the specific recruitment authority |
Exam Rules & Backspace
Different exams have different rules regarding the Backspace key:
- Keyboard layout: Confirm the required layout (for example, InScript or a Remington-style layout) from the current exam notice.
- Font and encoding: Confirm the specified font and whether the test uses Unicode text.
- Backspace and correction: Follow the exact correction rules stated in the exam instructions.
- Duration and speed: Check the post-specific test duration, qualifying criteria and calculation method.
Our typing modes are practice simulations. For official SSC requirements, read the latest notification and the instructions issued for your specific post.
Understanding Net WPM vs. Gross WPM
In competitive exams, typing fast isn't enough; you must type correctly.
Gross WPM
(Total Characters Typed / 5) / Time.
This is your raw speed, ignoring mistakes.
Net WPM (Final Score)
Gross WPM - (Errors / Time).
This is what counts. If you type 40 WPM but make many mistakes, your Net WPM could drop to 20 WPM. Aim for 95%+ accuracy.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Q: I pressed Alt+Shift but it's not typing in Hindi?
A: Ensure you have clicked inside the text box. Also, look at the bottom right of your taskbar; it should say "HIN". If not, reinstall the language pack.
Q: My WPM is very low (10-15). How to improve?
A: Do not look at the keyboard. The Inscript layout is scientific: Vowels (Matras) are on the left hand, and Consonants are on the right hand. Practice "Home Row" exercises daily for 15 minutes. Try our typing games to make practice fun.
Q: What is the passing marks for India typing test in government exams?
A: There is no single qualifying speed for all Hindi typing examinations. Requirements vary by recruitment body, post and notification. Always check the current official notice.
Q: Which government exams have India typing test with Mangal font?
A: Some recruitment processes include Hindi typing tests, but the language, layout, font and test rules vary. Check the official notification for the particular post.
Check Your Exam’s Official Typing Requirements
Typing requirements are not identical across SSC, railway, banking, police and court recruitment tests. Before your exam, confirm these details from the latest official notification and the instructions for your specific post:
- Required language and keyboard layout
- Font or text-encoding requirements
- Test duration and qualifying speed, if specified
- Error limits, accuracy rules and Backspace permissions
- Whether the test is qualifying or contributes to the final merit
Use this page to practise and track your progress, but use the recruiting authority’s current notice as the final source for exam rules. For a focused overview, read our SSC typing test rules guide covering speed, test duration and preparation.
