Common pathways for Nepali students
Frequent routes: (1) D-4-1 language institute in Korea → TOPIK improvement → D-2 degree application, or (2) direct D-2 admission when language scores and finances are already strong. GKS embassy applicants should keep a parallel self-funded application in case scholarship results arrive late.
