Marathi & Hindi Typing Test Online

Practice Marathi and Hindi typing in the encoding and keyboard layout your exam actually uses — KrutiDev on Remington, or Mangal Unicode on InScript — with court and government exam passages graded on real net WPM, accuracy and mistake-wise deductions.

No font installation, no setup

Most Marathi typing sites hand you a font file and a set of installation instructions before you can type a single word. Typing Teacher bundles the KrutiDev font with the app itself, so passages render as proper Devanagari and your typing appears correctly from the first keystroke — in the browser, on the desktop app, and on Android and iOS. There is nothing to download, install or configure.

For Mangal Unicode you use your operating system's own Devanagari keyboard, exactly as the exam expects. Typing Teacher reads what your OS produces, so nothing sits between your practice and the real thing.

KrutiDev or Mangal — which one is your exam?

This is the single most important decision you make before you start practising, and it is the one candidates most often get wrong. The two are not variations of the same skill — they use entirely different key positions, and time spent on the wrong one does not transfer.

How your Marathi typing test is graded

Marathi and Hindi passages run through exactly the same grading engine as English — no simplified scoring because the script is harder. Your typed text is aligned against the whole passage word by word, and every difference is sorted into a category:

  • Omission — a passage word you did not type
  • Addition — an extra word that is not in the passage
  • Substitution — a wholly different word
  • Spelling — a minor letter slip in an otherwise correct word
  • Spacing — two words run together
  • Capitalisation — a letter-case slip, counted as a half mistake
  • Paragraph — a missed indent at a paragraph start

Speed uses the standard five-character word: gross WPM is your total keystrokes divided by five, per minute, and net WPM subtracts your weighted mistakes per minute. Accuracy is measured against the source passage, so skipping words lowers it just as typing them wrong does. The full grading math is published here, with a worked example and nothing hidden.

Practice the real exam, not just a passage

Marathi and Hindi passages carry the same exam tags as the English library, so you can practise for the specific examination you are preparing for — including District Court (Maharashtra), Bombay High Court, High Court Steno and MPSC Clerk-Typist. The full multi-phase court typing test — keyboard test, break and a timed final passage with restricted backspace — runs in Marathi and Hindi exactly as it does in English.

Marathi is also the language of the GCC-TBC examination conducted by MSCE Pune, including its objective and practical papers.

What you get after each test

  • A full result breakdown — net and gross WPM, accuracy, keystrokes, and every mistake counted by category.
  • Marks and a verdict — your score against the exam's maximum, and a clear pass or fail against its thresholds.
  • A word-by-word comparison — see exactly where each mistake happened in the Devanagari passage.
  • A downloadable result certificate as a PDF.
  • History and leaderboards — every attempt saved so you can track whether your speed is genuinely improving.

How to build Marathi typing speed

  1. Lock your layout on day one. Confirm KrutiDev/Remington or Mangal/InScript from your notification, then never practise the other. Switching late costs weeks.
  2. Learn the matras before chasing speed. In Devanagari most early mistakes are matra and half-form errors, not finger speed. They show up in your result as spelling errors — fix those first.
  3. Practise with restricted backspace. Court final phases restrict it. If you always practise with free correction, your score is inflated and your habits are wrong.
  4. Read your error categories. Omissions, spacing and spelling errors each have different fixes. The breakdown tells you which habit to work on next.
