TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean / 한국어능력시험) provides general Korean-language proficiency evidence. Some universities, GKS tracks and employers may consider a TOPIK result, but each authority sets its own requirement. Korea's Employment Permit System uses the separate EPS-TOPIK assessment; TOPIK and EPS-TOPIK are not interchangeable.

| Test | Levels | Skills | Duration | General scope |

| Levels | Test | General description | Before relying on the result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | TOPIK I | Beginning ability across everyday reading and listening tasks | Check the receiving organisation's minimum level and score |
| 3–4 | TOPIK II | Intermediate ability across reading, listening and writing tasks | Check the university, scholarship or employer's current notice |
| 5–6 | TOPIK II | Advanced ability across more complex language tasks | Do not assume that a result itself grants admission, employment or a visa |
Dates, cities, capacity, fees and registration procedures are announced for individual sessions. Use the official TOPIK site and the latest India notice; submitting an interest form or seeing an old venue does not by itself confirm a seat.
