KrutiDev Keyboard Layout Chart (Free Download)

What is the KrutiDev Keyboard Used For?

The krutidev font keyboard maps Devanagari script glyphs onto English (QWERTY) keyboard layouts. It mimics traditional Indian Remington typewriters, which typists used for decades. This layout is the mandatory standard for:

• Government Exams: Speed typing tests conducted by SSC CGL, CHSL, Railways, police forces, and state public service commissions (PSCs) require candidates to type using KrutiDev 010.
• Judiciary and Law: Court transcripts, briefs, and official legal papers typed in Hindi are frequently typed in KrutiDev.
• Desktop Publishing (DTP): Local books, newspapers, and printing houses rely on this mapping for offline typing in MS Word, PageMaker, and InDesign.

Typing instructors in Maharashtra frequently utilize "krutidev keyboard marathi" layout charts to train students for local government clerical positions.

• Pressing k maps to the vowel sign ा.
• Pressing f maps to the chhoti-ee sign ि.
