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.
Three pages is the longest test on 91Typing and it is unapologetically demanding. This is not a benchmark you take casually — it is an endurance trial, closer to a real working session than to a speed check, and it will expose anything unreliable in your technique. If a weakness exists in how you type, three pages will find it.
What makes it valuable is precisely that it cannot be faked. Short tests can be carried by concentration and adrenaline; over three pages, those run out and what remains is whatever your hands do automatically. Typists who have genuinely internalised touch typing hold a steady pace throughout. Typists who still glance at the keyboard, or who rely on a few strong fingers to compensate for weak ones, watch their speed and accuracy decay page by page. That decay curve is the most honest diagnostic available anywhere on the site.
Use it as a periodic assessment rather than routine practice — perhaps once a fortnight, or as a final rehearsal before a data entry examination. Taking it more often trains tiredness rather than skill. The productive pattern is to run it occasionally, note exactly where your performance degraded and which keys the errors clustered around, and then spend the following weeks on targeted drills for those specific weaknesses before testing again.
Take the ergonomics seriously at this length. Sustained typing sessions of this duration, repeated regularly with poor posture, carry a genuine risk of repetitive strain. Keep wrists straight and floating, shoulders relaxed, feet flat, screen at eye level, and take a proper break afterwards rather than going straight into another attempt. If you feel tingling, numbness or pain in your hands, wrists or forearms, stop — that is a signal to rest and, if it persists, to seek medical advice rather than to push through.
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 suits candidates preparing for data entry examinations, working transcriptionists, and anyone who wants an honest measure of sustained typing ability. Beginners are better served by the 1-minute and 3-minute tests until a steady technique is established.
Roughly once a fortnight, or as a final rehearsal before an exam. It is demanding enough that frequent attempts train fatigue rather than skill. Use shorter tests and targeted drills for regular practice.
It usually means your typing is not yet fully automatic, so sustaining it consumes conscious effort that runs out. Structured touch-typing lessons and weak-key drills address this far more effectively than repeating long tests.
For most people an occasional long run is fine, but repeated long sessions with poor posture carry a real risk of repetitive strain. Keep your wrists straight and floating, take proper breaks, and stop immediately if you feel tingling, numbness or pain — see a doctor if it persists.
Look at where your performance degraded and which keys your errors clustered around, rather than at the headline WPM. Those two details tell you exactly what to drill over the following weeks, which is what actually moves your score.
