The 10-lesson curriculum

InScript places vowels and matras on the left hand, consonants on the right. The layout follows Devanagari phonetic order, so once you learn the home row, the rest builds intuitively.

Home row + vowel side

Why this tutor works

Mangal Unicode (also known as InScript) is the standard Hindi typing layout for every modern Indian government exam. SSC CHSL (2023 onwards), DSSSB Junior Assistant, KVS JSA, IBPS Clerk Hindi LPT, EPFO SSA, ESIC UDC, and FCI Junior Assistant all use Mangal as the default or accept it alongside Krutidev. If your exam is post-2022 and not specifically Stenographer or Court Clerk, this is the tutor for you.

InScript is conceptually cleaner than Krutidev. The layout follows the Devanagari alphabet order — vowels on the left, consonants on the right. Matras are typed AFTER the consonant they modify, which matches how Hindi is written. The conjunct rule is simple: type the first consonant, then the halant key (्), then the second consonant. No special tricks, no pre-base traps.

For aspirants moving from English typing to Hindi, Mangal is the easier learning curve. The keys have logical positions and the typing flow matches the rendered text. Most learners reach 20 WPM Net within 3-4 weeks of daily practice, and 30 WPM Net (SSC CHSL Hindi cutoff) within 5-6 weeks. Krutidev takes longer because the pre-base i-matra rule has no analogue in English typing.

A pattern we see in successful Mangal learners: they finish lesson 5 (conjuncts) before they push for speed. Conjuncts are the rate-limiting step in any Hindi exam passage — get them automatic, then chase WPM. Skipping conjunct practice in favour of basic-letter speed leads to a 5-WPM gap on real exam passages.
