Candidates opting for the Hindi Medium in SSC CGL DEST, SSC CHSL, or SSC Stenographer tests can choose from three officially recognized keyboard layouts on the Unicode Mangal Font.
1. The 3 Official SSC Hindi Layouts
| Layout Name | Typing Style | Recommended For |
|---|---|---|
| Hindi Inscript | Standard Government Layout (Vowels left, Consonants right) | New learners and candidates using modern Windows keyboards. |
| Hindi Remington (GAIL) | Traditional Mechanical Typewriter Mapping | Candidates trained on Remington typewriter keys. |
| Hindi Remington (CBI) | Typewriter Variant (Alternative conjunct mapping) | Candidates trained specifically in Central Bureau/CBI stenography schools. |
2. Important Characters & Halant Usage in Mangal
- On Inscript, half-letters and conjuncts (e.g.
क्त,स्थ,द्वा) are generated by typing the consonant followed byD(Halant) and the next consonant. - On Remington Gail, full letters with Shift/unShift keys mimic legacy typewriter mechanics.
