About the Hindi InScript Typing Test
The InScript (Indian Script) keyboard is the Government of India standard for typing Hindi in Unicode. It is the required layout for most government typing exams that use the Mangal font, including CPCT, SSC and various High Court recruitment tests. This free InScript typing test runs entirely in your browser with a built-in on-screen keyboard, so you can practise the exact exam layout without installing any software.

InScript (Mangal) — A Closer Look
InScript was designed by the Government of India so that the same key positions produce the equivalent letter in every Indian script — learn it once and you can type Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit or Nepali on the same layout. Vowels sit on the left half of the keyboard and consonants on the right, arranged in the logical order of the Devanagari alphabet rather than by English sound, which is why it feels different from phonetic typing at first but becomes very fast once memorised.
Because InScript produces Unicode (Mangal) output, the text you type works everywhere — documents, email, websites and mobile — and matches what modern government exams increasingly require. Turn on the "Assisted layout" option above to have your physical keyboard remapped to InScript so you can practise the real exam experience without installing an operating-system keyboard.
Tips to Improve Your Speed
- Most CPCT and central exams expect around 25–30 words per minute in Hindi — build accuracy first, then speed.
- Learn the home-row consonants (क ख ग / प र क त) before moving to the number row and conjuncts.
- Practise the halant (द key) to form conjuncts — it is the most common source of errors.
- Aim for 90%+ accuracy in practice; exams penalise mistakes more heavily than slow speed.
