Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Gurumantra the best for South Korea in Nepal?

We have direct tie-ups with top Korean universities and deep expertise in compiling rigorous D-2/D-4 visa documentation. Our students enjoy the highest visa success rates in Nepal.

Is TOPIK mandatory?

For English-track programs, IELTS is sufficient. However, for Korean-track and everyday life, reaching TOPIK Level 3 or doing a 6-month D-4 language course first is highly recommended.
