Choosing your keyboard for CPCT Hindi
Inscript is the government standard Unicode layout and is the default in most CPCT practice. Remington GAIL follows the old typewriter key positions, so typists trained on Krutidev feel at home. Pick the one you will use in the exam and never switch in the last month.
Both are built into this page, so you do not need to install anything. See every key on the Hindi keyboard chart.
Common Hindi typing mistakes
- Missing or extra matras (ि, ी, े, ै), especially the short i that comes before the letter in Remington.
- Wrong half letters in conjuncts such as क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ and श्र.
- Anusvara (ं) versus chandrabindu (ँ).
- Nukta (़) missing in words like ज़रूरत or फ़ाइल when the passage uses it.
