In order to evaluate the Korean language proficiency of non native speakers who wants to live in South Korea for education, employment, and for various other purposes. The South Korean government conducts a proficiency exam called Test of Proficiency in Korean Language (TOPIK) both in Korea and overseas. This test measure the competency of candidates through reading comprehension, listening, writing, and memorization of vocabulary. The test has 2 grades, Level I& II. Level I has 1 & 2 grades (Begineers level). Level II has grade 3,4,5, and 6 grades (Intermediate to advance levels). Based on the total score the exam taker will be given a particular proficiency level on their certificates.

WHY SHOULS I TAKE TOPIK EXAM

If you are applying to South Korean University, for an admission or academic scholarship purpose you may have to submit a Korean proficiency score. If you are working in a Korean speaking environment in India and want to take up jobs of translation, interpretation etc.. there is a requirement of official TOPIK score. The course certificates issued by language learning centres may not be accepted by Korean government agencies. Hence a TOPIK certificate become very useful to show ones level of proficiency in Korean. If you are learning Korean for hobby purpose, but you want to test the level of Korean that you are acquired, then it is better to take the TOPIK exam and obtain an official proficiency certificate from South Korean Government.
