What is KrutiDev 010?
Definition: KrutiDev 010 is the official Hindi typing font used across Indian central government departments. It is a non-Unicode, legacy Devanagari font developed before the Unicode standard became widespread in India.
Unlike Unicode fonts such as Mangal or Nirmala UI, KrutiDev 010 stores Hindi characters using a proprietary ASCII mapping, which is why KrutiDev text appears as random English characters on any computer that does not have the font installed.
The “010” refers to the specific version number in the KrutiDev typeface family. It is the most widely used version in government offices and is the required font for typing examinations in Madhya Pradesh (CPCT), Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and several other states.
Same mapping as KrutiDev 10. For the general hub, see the KrutiDev to Unicode Converter.
Which Government Exams and Departments Use KrutiDev 010?
KrutiDev 010 is not just a common choice; it is a mandated standard in many states and departments.
| State / Exam | Requirement | Authority |
|---|---|---|
| Madhya Pradesh — CPCT | KrutiDev 010 | MP Professional Examination Board |
| MP Vyapam (now MPPEB) | KrutiDev 010 | MP Government |
| Rajasthan — RPSC LDC | KrutiDev 010 | Rajasthan Public Service Commission |
| Rajasthan Patwari Exam | KrutiDev 010 | Rajasthan Revenue Department |
| Uttar Pradesh — UPSSSC | KrutiDev 010 (varies by post) | UP Subordinate Services Commission |
| UP Lekhpal | KrutiDev 010 | UP Revenue Department |
| Central Government Secretariat | KrutiDev 010 / Mangal (Unicode) | Rajbhasha Vibhag, MHA |
| Bihar Government Offices | KrutiDev 010 | Bihar Official Language Department |
Note: Always verify the font requirement in the official exam notification. Some states are transitioning to Unicode-only typing as part of Digital India.
This reference table is updated for 2026. If you are preparing for a state exam and need to confirm which font version is required, check the official recruitment notification from the relevant Public Service Commission.
Why Government Typists Need to Convert KrutiDev 010 to Unicode
India’s government typing infrastructure was built on KrutiDev 010. For decades, court typists, Rajbhasha officials, secretariat staff, and data entry operators across central and state departments produced documents in this font.
The problem? Modern systems run on Unicode. Government web portals built under the Digital India initiative accept only Unicode text. Online affidavit submission systems require Unicode. PDF archiving tools used by ministries expect Unicode-encoded Devanagari.
When a typist copies KrutiDev 010 text into any of these systems without converting, the output breaks — either showing garbled English characters or displaying blank boxes.
This converter solves that problem instantly. Paste your KrutiDev 010 text, click Convert, and get Unicode output that works everywhere — on web portals, in MS Word, in email, in government databases, and in print.
KrutiDev 010 vs KrutiDev 10: What Is the Difference?
This is the most common point of confusion in government typing. Many typists use the terms “KrutiDev 10” and “KrutiDev 010” interchangeably, but they refer to the same typeface, just with different naming conventions.
The official government-recognised name is KrutiDev 010. The “0” prefix follows the standard typeface numbering system used by the KrutiDev font family publisher. Some older training materials, exam guides, and third-party websites drop the leading zero and write “KrutiDev 10” — this causes understandable confusion.
For conversion purposes, this converter handles both. The character mapping for KrutiDev 010 and KrutiDev 10 (Kurtidev10) is identical. If you are unsure which version your document uses, try converting a small paragraph. If the output looks correct, you have the right mapping.

Does Conversion Preserve Document Formatting?
This is a question many government typists ask before converting large files.
The short answer: this tool converts text encoding only, not document layout, fonts, spacing, or paragraph formatting.
When you paste KrutiDev 010 text from a Word document, you are copying the raw characters, not the document structure. The converter processes those characters and returns Unicode text.
When you paste the Unicode output back into Word, it will appear in whatever font is currently active in that Word document — typically Mangal or Nirmala UI if Hindi Unicode is set as the language.

KrutiDev 010 to Unicode — What You Need to Know
Frequently Asked Questions — KrutiDev 010 to Unicode
How do I convert KrutiDev 010 to Unicode Mangal for online government portal submission?
Paste your KrutiDev 010 text into the converter above, click Convert, and copy the Unicode output. This output is fully compatible with the Mangal font, because Mangal is simply a Unicode font that renders the same Devanagari characters. Paste the converted text into the government portal's text field. The text will display correctly without requiring any font installation on the portal's end.
What is the difference between KrutiDev 010 and KrutiDev 011?
KrutiDev 011 is a bold variant of KrutiDev 010. Both use the same underlying character encoding; the only difference is stroke weight. If you have KrutiDev 011 text, the same KrutiDev 010 character mapping applies, and this converter will process it correctly.
Which states use KrutiDev 010 in government typing tests?
Madhya Pradesh (CPCT, MP Vyapam), Rajasthan (RPSC LDC, Patwari), Uttar Pradesh (UPSSSC, UP Lekhpal), Bihar, and several central government departments require KrutiDev 010. Maharashtra uses KrutiDev 055 for Marathi. If your notification says only KrutiDev without a number, practise with 010, then convert practice output to Unicode when submitting on Digital India portals.
How do I convert KrutiDev 010 text from old departmental files to Unicode for Digital India portals?
Open the file in any application that supports the KrutiDev 010 font — MS Word, Notepad, or WordPad. Select the Hindi text, copy it (Ctrl+C), paste it into the converter above, click Convert, then copy the Unicode output. For files where the KrutiDev font is embedded (such as old PageMaker files or CorelDRAW documents), export the text content first, then run it through the converter.
Does KrutiDev 010 to Unicode conversion preserve formatting from PageMaker files?
No. This converter processes text encoding only; it does not preserve layout, typeface settings, or spacing from PageMaker or any other DTP software. You will need to rebuild the document layout in a Unicode-compatible application such as Adobe InDesign or MS Publisher after converting the text content.
Can I convert KrutiDev 010 text on a mobile phone?
Yes. This tool is fully browser-based and works on Android and iPhone. Open the page in Chrome or Safari on your phone, tap the input box, paste your KrutiDev 010 text, tap Convert, and copy the Unicode output. No app download required.
Is there an offline version of this KrutiDev 010 to Unicode converter?
No standalone offline desktop application is available for this conversion as of 2026. However, because this tool processes all text inside your browser using client-side JavaScript, it does not send your data to any server. Once the page loads, the converter functions even if your internet connection becomes unstable.
Can I open converted KrutiDev 010 text in MS Word using Mangal or Nirmala UI?
Yes. After conversion, paste the Unicode Devanagari into MS Word and set the font to Mangal or Nirmala UI. The text stays readable on phones and NIC portals without installing KrutiDev 010. This is the usual path when a department still drafts letters in KrutiDev 010 but publishes circulars on Unicode-only websites.
Is KrutiDev 010 conversion private, or does my text leave the browser?
No. Your KrutiDev 010 text is processed only in the browser with client-side JavaScript and is never uploaded. That matters for sealed exam materials, revenue records, and confidential office drafts. After the page loads, you can keep converting even if the connection drops, which helps on restricted government networks.
