Remington GAIL keyboard layout for Hindi typing tests
Remington GAIL is a Hindi typewriter-style layout. Several government notices let candidates choose it for the Hindi typing test, and a few name it as the layout to use.
Why this page has no key chart
We would rather show nothing than a chart we cannot check. We have not found a GAIL key table from an official source, so we do not publish one. Please learn the layout from the chart supplied with your keyboard software or from a trusted teacher.
How to practise GAIL here
- Turn on a Remington GAIL Hindi keyboard on your computer or phone. Tools such as Keyman and Microsoft’s Indic Input have been used for this; check that the keyboard you install is named Remington GAIL and not CBI. Names and download pages change, so use the official site of the tool you pick.
- Open the practice app, go to Typing Test → Government exam mode and choose Hindi – Remington GAIL (Mangal font).
- Switch your device to the GAIL keyboard and start. The app reads what your device types, so keys on an English keyboard will not type Hindi. The on-screen key hints are switched off for this layout.

Common questions
Is there a Remington GAIL chart on this page?
No. We have not been able to confirm a GAIL key table from an official source, and a wrong chart would teach wrong muscle memory. Use the chart that comes with your keyboard software, or ask your coaching centre.
Can I practise GAIL with an English keyboard?
Not on the practice app. GAIL needs a GAIL keyboard turned on in your device. The app then reads what your device types.
Is GAIL the same as CBI?
No. Remington GAIL and Remington CBI are two different Hindi typewriter-style layouts. Some notices allow either one, so read yours.
