Hindi typing seekhna shuru karte hi ek confusion aata hai — Kruti Dev seekhein ya Mangal? Is guide mein dono fonts ka pura comparison hai, kaunse exam mein kaunsa chahiye, aur ek typist dono kab zaroor seekhe.
Krutidev aur Mangal — Fundamentally Alag Hain
Yeh sirf alag fonts nahi hain — yeh alag typing systems hain. Mangal Unicode-based hai: ek character = ek Unicode point. Kruti Dev non-Unicode/ASCII based hai: Roman characters Hindi jaisi dikhte hain lekin actually standard Hindi text nahi hai. Isliye ek document Mangal mein type karo toh kisi bhi device par sahi dikhega. Kruti Dev mein type karo toh sirf Kruti Dev font installed machines par sahi dikhega.
Lekin exams mein yeh technical distinction matter nahi karta — matter karta hai exam center par kaunsa font set hai aur aapki typing speed ussi mein hai.

| Windows built-in | ❌ No (download needed) | ✅ Yes |
| Cross-platform | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| SSC/Railway/UPSC | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |

| High Court UP | ✅ Mostly | ⚠️ Some courts |
| Learning difficulty | Moderate | Easier (phonetic) |
Decision Guide — Aapko Kaunsa Seekhna Chahiye?
✅ Mangal (InScript) Seekho Agar:
- SSC CHSL, SSC CGL DEO, Railway NTPC ki taiyari kar rahe ho
- CPCT (Madhya Pradesh) exam dena hai
- Supreme Court ya High Court central government positions
- UPSC ya any central government clerical post
- Long-term mein versatile, modern skill chahiye
✅ Kruti Dev Seekho Agar:
- UPSSSC Lekhpal, Junior Assistant, ya other UP state exams
- Rajasthan High Court LDC ya RSMSSB exams
- Haryana state government clerical posts
- HP (Himachal Pradesh) state secretariat
Kya Dono Ek Saath Seekh Sakte Hain?
Technically possible hai lekin strongly discouraged hai — especially beginners ke liye. Dono ke keyboard layouts itne alag hain ki ek ki muscle memory doosri ko actively interfere karti hai. Ek hi font mein pehle 80+ WPM solidly achieve karo. Phir doosra seekhna kaafi fast hoga kyunki Hindi character knowledge already hai — sirf key positions naye hain. Professional typists jo dono jaante hain unhe pehle ek mein 3-4 months lage, phir doosra 6-8 weeks mein seekha.
Frequently Asked Questions
Kaunse government exams mein Kruti Dev chahiye aur kaunse mein Mangal?
Mangal (InScript): SSC CHSL, SSC CGL, Railway NTPC, CPCT Madhya Pradesh, Supreme Court, central government high courts, most UPSC related posts. Kruti Dev: UPSSSC (Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Service), Rajasthan High Court, RSMSSB, Haryana Staff Selection Commission ke kuch posts, UP High Court kuch divisions, Himachal Pradesh state secretariat. Border-line cases: Bihar aur Jharkhand exams mein notification carefully padho — kuch Unicode use karte hain jo Mangal compatible hai. Always: exam official notification download karo aur "font" section carefully padho.
Agar Kruti Dev jaanta hoon toh Mangal kitne din mein seekh sakta hoon?
Agar Kruti Dev mein 25+ WPM speed hai: Mangal InScript 3-4 weeks mein seekh sakte ho comparable speed tak pahunchne ke liye. Reasoning: Hindi characters pehle se pata hain, sirf keyboard positions different hain. InScript layout phonetically organized hai (k se क, g se ग) jo sikhna easy banata hai. First week confusion aur speed drop expected hai. Week 2-3 mein speed Kruti Dev ke 70-80% tak aa jaati hai. Week 4 mein almost same speed. AlphaTyping ke Hindi test par Mangal font select karke daily 20 min practice karo.
Mangal font mein InScript ya Remington layout — kaunsa best hai?
SSC aur most central government exams ke liye InScript layout standard hai. Remington layout mainly Rajasthan state exams mein required hai. Dono Mangal font ke saath use ho sakte hain but alag keyboard layout hain. Agar central government exams target hai: InScript seekho. Agar Rajasthan state exams target hai: Remington Gail seekho. Agar dono target hain — pehle InScript (zyada exams cover karta hai) solidly learn karo, phir Remington seekho.
