KrutiDev Layout — Common Questions
What is KrutiDev keyboard layout?
KrutiDev is a legacy Hindi font-based keyboard layout widely used before Unicode adoption. It uses a proprietary character encoding and requires Alt+numpad codes for many special Devanagari characters. It is still used in some older government offices and exams.
What are Alt+numpad codes in KrutiDev?
KrutiDev typing requires pressing Left Alt + numpad digits to produce certain Hindi characters that have no direct key. The key hint below the typing area shows you which code to use for the next character.
Is KrutiDev still used in government exams?
Most modern government exams (SSC, RRB, CPCT) have switched to Unicode layouts (Remington GAIL or INSCRIPT). However, some older state exams and departmental typing tests still use KrutiDev. Check your specific exam notification.
