History and Types of Hindi Keyboard Layouts
Understanding the difference between Hindi keyboard layouts is essential, especially for candidates preparing for Indian Government typing examinations:
1. Remington Keyboard (KrutiDev)TYPEWRITER
The Remington layout originated during the typewriter era when Remington produced mechanical Devanagari typewriters. It is the most popular layout among traditional Hindi typists and is widely required in state government exams like Court Clerk, Personal Assistant (PA), and Informatics Assistant using Kruti Dev or Devlys fonts.
2. Inscript Keyboard (Mangal Font)GOVT STANDARD
InScript (short for Indian Script) is the standard 104/105 key layout standardized by the Government of India for all Indian languages. It uses the Unicode Mangal font and is used in national competitive exams such as SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, and Central Government Data Entry tests.

• Example 1: Type ज + न + ् + म to form जन्म (janma)
• Example 2: Type क + ् + ष to form क्ष (ksha)
• Special Symbols: Type M for Anusvara (ं), MM for Candrabindu (ँ), and H for Visarga (ः).
