In a 1-minute test, 150 correct characters gives a net WPM of 30 — (150 ÷ 5) ÷ 1 — at 94% accuracy. The test marks the SSC CHSL pass line at 25 WPM and the CPCT line at 30 WPM on every result. Choose one of 6 passages and test for 1, 5 or 10 minutes.

Detailed guide
How to get useful results from Hindi Typing Test
How is Hindi typing speed measured?
Net WPM = (correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes — one 'word' is standardised as exactly 5 characters, including spaces and punctuation. Accuracy = (correct characters ÷ total typed characters) × 100. Gross (raw) WPM counts every character you typed, errors included. Exams use net WPM, which is why this tool shows net WPM as the headline score and gross WPM next to it.
What is a good Hindi typing speed?
Below 15 WPM is beginner, 15–20 is learning, 20–25 is average, 25–30 is exam-ready, 30–40 is fast, and above 40 is professional. A student who types 20 WPM with 98% accuracy is closer to passing than one who types 30 WPM with 85% accuracy — the errors eat the net score.
SSC CHSL Hindi typing test — 25 WPM
SSC CHSL asks for 25 WPM in Hindi (35 WPM in English). The Hindi test uses the Mangal font only — for SSC CHSL 2026 Kruti Dev is not offered. Practise at 28–30 WPM with 95%+ accuracy so the exam-day nerves have room. The tool marks 25 WPM as a pass/fail line on every result.
CPCT Hindi typing test — 20–30 WPM
Madhya Pradesh CPCT asks for 20 WPM in Hindi and 30 WPM in English for most posts (some ask 30 WPM Hindi). CPCT is scored on net speed with an accuracy bar, so a clean 25 WPM pass beats a messy 32 WPM fail. The tool shows the CPCT 30 WPM line next to the SSC line.
How to type faster in Hindi
Practise the matras and conjuncts separately — क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ and श्र are where most errors happen. Type full sentences, not single words, because real tests are passages. Do 20–30 minutes daily rather than one long weekly session, and review your error pattern after each test instead of only chasing the WPM number.
Mangal Unicode vs Kruti Dev
This test is in Mangal Unicode (Devanagari), which is what SSC and most central exams use now. Kruti Dev 010 is a legacy font still used in some state exams — Rajasthan LDC typing is in DevLys 010, for example. Kruti Dev practice needs the Kruti Dev 010 font installed on your device; use the Kruti Dev to Unicode Converter on this site to move text between the two encodings.
Common mistakes
The mistakes that keep people below the pass line: chasing speed before accuracy (errors cut net WPM twice); practising in the wrong layout (Remington vs Inscript — pick your exam's layout and stay with it); ignoring conjuncts in practice and then failing on them in the test; and typing passages from memory instead of reading them, which hides real errors.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
How is Hindi typing speed calculated?
Net WPM = (correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes. One 'word' is standardised as 5 characters, including spaces. Accuracy = (correct characters ÷ total typed characters) × 100. The timer starts on your first keystroke.
What is a good WPM for Hindi typing?
Below 15 WPM is beginner, 15–20 is learning, 20–25 is average, 25–30 is exam-ready, 30–40 is fast, and above 40 is professional. Most government typing tests ask for 25–30 WPM.
What is the SSC CHSL Hindi typing speed?
SSC CHSL asks for 25 WPM in Hindi (and 35 WPM in English). The Hindi test uses the Mangal font only — Kruti Dev is not offered for SSC CHSL 2026.
What is the CPCT Hindi typing speed?
Madhya Pradesh CPCT asks for 20 WPM in Hindi and 30 WPM in English (some posts 30 WPM Hindi). Practise both speeds — the tool shows both targets.
What is the difference between net and gross WPM?
Gross (raw) WPM counts every character you typed, errors included: (all typed characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes. Net WPM counts only correct characters. Exams use net WPM, so accuracy matters as much as speed.
Which keyboard layout should I use for Hindi typing?
For Mangal Unicode, most Indian typists use the Remington (typewriter) layout; Inscript is the government-standard layout. Pick the layout your exam uses and practise only in it — switching layouts costs weeks.
Can I practise typing in Kruti Dev here?
This test is in Mangal Unicode, which is what SSC and most exams use now. Kruti Dev practice needs the Kruti Dev 010 font installed on your device — use the Kruti Dev to Unicode Converter on this site to move text between the two.
How long should I practise Hindi typing daily?
20–30 minutes every day beats 3 hours once a week. Short daily sessions build finger memory; take the 1-minute test daily and the 5-minute test twice a week.
Does accuracy matter more than speed?
Yes — net WPM counts only correct characters, so every error costs you speed twice: once in accuracy and once in the WPM itself. Slow down until your accuracy is above 95%, then build speed.
What is the Rajasthan LDC typing test pattern?
Rajasthan LDC / Junior Assistant typing test: Hindi in DevLys 010, 400 words in 10 minutes (RSSB, 21–29 December 2026 for the current round). Practise in DevLys 010 for that exam, not Mangal.
How do I improve my Hindi typing speed?
Practise the matras and conjuncts (क्ष, त्र, ज्ञ, श्र) separately — they are where most errors happen. Type full sentences, not single words, and review your error pattern after each test instead of just chasing WPM.
Is this Hindi typing test free?
Yes — free, in your browser, no signup and no download. Your typed text never leaves your device.
