Devlys is a legacy Devanagari font from the same Remington family as Kruti Dev, and it became the house standard in a good deal of judicial, clerical and district-level government work. Where an office or a recruitment board specified Devlys years ago, the documents, the templates and the examiners tend to still be there, which is why it continues to appear in notifications long after Unicode became the technically better answer.
Under the fingers, Devlys is close enough to Kruti Dev that a typist fluent in either can sit down at the other and work. Both descend from the Remington typewriter arrangement, so the consonants fall in the same places and the same characters are built from sequences rather than single keys. The practical differences are in the font files and in institutional habit rather than in what your hands do, which means practice here transfers directly if your exam turns out to specify the other one.
Like every legacy font, Devlys writes Latin bytes that only look like Hindi while the Devlys font is installed. Send that document to someone without the font and they receive gibberish; search it, and nothing matches. This test therefore separates the two halves of the problem — it drills the genuine Devlys key positions, including the typewriter orderings for the short-i matra and the reph, while putting real Unicode Devanagari on your screen so the passage stays readable and your accuracy figures stay honest.
If you are preparing for a specific post, practise at the passage length the notification sets and pay as much attention to accuracy as to speed. Clerical and court typing tests are usually marked with an error threshold that disqualifies rather than merely deducts, so a slower, clean run is worth far more than a fast one with mistakes scattered through it.
Two pages is where passage typing starts to resemble actual transcription work. A single page can be carried by concentration alone; two requires a rhythm you can hold without thinking about it. Most typists notice a distinct change somewhere in the second page, when the novelty wears off and the passage stops feeling short — and how you handle that stretch is what this test is really measuring.
The specific skill it develops is backspace discipline. Over a long passage, the habit of stopping to fix every minor slip compounds badly: each interruption costs not just the correction but the several seconds of lost rhythm afterwards. Skilled transcriptionists develop a sense for which errors are worth interrupting the flow to fix immediately and which are better handled without breaking stride. Two pages is long enough for that distinction to show up in your completion time.
It is also a realistic rehearsal for the way typing is used in real jobs. Data entry operators, transcriptionists, court clerks and administrative staff rarely type in sixty-second bursts — they work through documents. If you are preparing for that kind of role, or for an exam that hands you a substantial passage, practising at this length tells you something a short test cannot: whether your speed survives contact with a real workload.
Expect your effective WPM here to sit below your short-test scores, and do not treat that as a failure. The useful comparison is not against your one-minute peak but against your own previous two-page attempts. A completion time that falls steadily week on week, with the error count falling alongside it, is exactly what progress looks like at this distance. Take breaks between attempts, and stop if your wrists or forearms start to ache.
Very little from the typist's point of view — both are Remington-family legacy fonts and the key positions are essentially the same, so skill in one transfers to the other. They differ in the font files themselves and in which offices and boards adopted them. Practise the one your notification names.
It appears most often in judicial, clerical and district-level recruitment where Devlys was adopted as the office standard. Because boards revise their requirements between cycles, treat the notification for your specific exam as the authority rather than any general list.
No. This test reproduces the Devlys key positions and renders Unicode Devanagari on screen, so it runs in any browser with nothing installed. The finger movements you practise are the ones the exam measures.
Because Devlys inherits the typewriter's striking order. The short-i matra ि is typed before its consonant and the reph after its base, even though both are written the other way round. The test reorders them as you type, exactly as the font does, so what you see is the correctly formed word.
Only if an exam or an employer requires it. For general use, Unicode layouts such as InScript produce text that is searchable, portable and readable without any font installed. If Devlys is what you are being tested on, though, practising anything else will not help your score.
It depends entirely on your speed, since the passage is fixed rather than the clock. A typist at around 40 WPM will usually take noticeably longer than one at 60. Your completion time is the score, so the only meaningful comparison is against your own previous attempts.
Not necessarily. Each interruption costs the correction plus the rhythm you lose afterwards. Developing a sense for which errors are worth stopping for is one of the main skills this length teaches, and it is exactly what real transcription work demands.
That is expected. Longer passages expose fatigue and concentration limits that a short burst never reaches. Compare your two-page results against each other over time rather than against your one-minute peak.
Yes — it is closer to real data entry and transcription work than any short test, because those roles involve working through documents rather than typing in bursts. Sustained accuracy over a long passage is what employers in these roles actually depend on.
The clock reflects your actual completion time, so pausing works against your score. Set aside an uninterrupted stretch before you start — treating it as a single continuous run is the point of the format.
