Hindi Mangal Inscript Layout: Complete Key Placement and Typing Chart

Why Mangal Inscript is the Universal Government Standard The Inscript (Indian Script) keyboard layout was developed by the Department of Electronics and standardised by the Bureau of Indian Standards. It is mandatory for SSC, Supreme Court, Rajya Sabha, and Central Government Hindi tests. 1. The Logical Keyboard Architecture Unlike Remington which mimics English letter shapes, Inscript is completely phonetic: Left Hand: Controls all vowels (स्वर) and their corresponding matras (मात्राएं). Right Hand: Controls all consonants (व्यंजन) ordered phonetically (क-वर्ग, च-वर्ग, ट-वर्ग, त-वर्ग, प-वर्ग). 2. Shift Key Rule Pressing a key without Shift types the short vowel matra or unvoiced consonant. Pressing with Shift types the independent full vowel or aspirated consonant.
