The EPS Korea branch has opened applications for the first phase of the 2025 Korean Language Test for the manufacturing and agriculture/livestock sectors.
According to the branch, the application quota has been set based on an estimated 5,300 passing candidates—3,500 for the manufacturing sector and 1,800 for the agriculture and livestock sector. However, the final number of pass candidates may increase or decrease depending on labor demand in Korea. Applications will remain open until August 15.
The exam schedule will be announced in a later notice. The test will be conducted in up to five shifts per day, and schedules may be adjusted depending on the number of applicants or other circumstances. Each applicant may apply for only one sector.
Under the Employment Permit System (EPS) agreement signed between Nepal and South Korea in 2007, Nepal began sending workers to Korea in 2008.
