Official LinksRegistration ChecksPreparation Guidance
JLPT dates, application windows, levels and local hosts vary by session and test city. Use the official JLPT overseas-site list and the listed host's current notice before registering.
Cities and host organisations can change between sessions, and not every level is offered at every site. Do not rely on an archived city list.
The local host sets the current fee, application method, capacity and deadline. Confirm these in the live host notice before payment.
Use the linked Japan Foundation New Delhi page and the current session notice for the latest address, telephone number and JLPT contact details.
The official schedule lists session-specific dates and participating Indian test sites. Deadlines and fees vary by site; check the official schedule and the selected site's current notice before paying.
Participating sites and offered levels can differ by session. Confirm the selected site's authorisation, available level, deadline, fee and refund terms.
NAT-TEST is offered more frequently than JLPT. Acceptance depends on the employer, school or programme, so candidates should confirm the exact requirement before registering.
Dates, registration windows and candidate fees are published for each current session by the authorised Alliance Franรงaise or Institut franรงais. Check the current official calendar and fee table before registering.
Use the current official network information and confirm that the chosen centre offers the required diploma, level and session.
Candidate category, level, centre and session can affect the fee. Use the selected centre's current written fee and cancellation terms.

| TCF Canada | Dates, registration windows, fees and result timelines vary by authorised centre. Confirm the current session directly with the official test provider before paying. | ||
Authorised TEF Canada and TCF Canada locations vary by provider and session. Use each provider's current centre finder and confirm that the selected centre offers the exact test before booking.

| Levels | Current sessions | Registration | Acceptance |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1โC2 | Dates and available levels vary by Goethe centre and session | Use the selected centre's live booking page | The receiving university, employer or authority decides which certificate and level it accepts |
Goethe-Institut and partner-centre availability, addresses and offered levels can change. Use Goethe-Institut India's official exam search before planning travel.
Confirm the current fee, cancellation terms, accepted identification and module rules directly with the centre before paying.
| Session | Exam Date | Registration | Results |
|---|---|---|---|
| India sessions | The earlier provisional session table has been withdrawn because TOPIK numbers, dates and India availability must be confirmed from the current official notice. Check the TOPIK portal before making travel or application plans. | ||
Participating cities, test centres and fees can change by session. Use the official TOPIK notice and the relevant India registration announcement rather than relying on an older list.
| First check | Current position | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Sending-country eligibility | EPS participation is limited to countries named in the latest official sending-country notice | Check current MOEL and HRD Korea information before preparing, registering or paying anyone |
| Test and recruitment notice | Only an official notice for a participating country defines dates, format, cut-off and process | Follow that country's authorised sending body and official EPS channels |
| Employment and visa | Passing a language test does not guarantee selection, an employer or a visa | Proceed only through the authorised process and written official approvals |
Available sectors and quotas depend on the participating country and recruitment round. A general Korean course can build language ability but cannot create EPS eligibility.
| Current schedule | Centres | Registration | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Use the current calendar on chinesetest.cn; sessions can occur in multiple months | Availability varies by session and city | Use the official portal deadline for the selected session | Available format depends on the centre and session |
Search the official registration portal for India and the chosen session. Do not assume that a city or level is available on every date.
Use the receiving institution's requirement to choose a level. Confirm any HSKK pairing, current fee, delivery mode and result-validity rule on the official session page.
Exam dates, levels, registration deadlines, results timing and centres vary by session. Use Instituto Cervantes' live calendar and the selected centre's notice before making plans.
Choose a current authorised centre through the official exam service. The centre controls available levels, places, fees and local registration instructions.
CILS, PLIDA and CELI publish separate calendars. Sessions, levels, deadlines, centres and fees are provider- and location-specific; verify them on the official provider and selected-centre pages.
Use the relevant provider's centre finder or current official notice. Confirm authorisation, offered level, deadline, fee and refund terms directly before paying.
TORFL availability in India, authorised organisers, dates, delivery mode, fees and contacts change. Confirm the current authorised organiser and result acceptance with the receiving institution before registering or paying.
Do not rely on an archived city or online-delivery list. Ask the organiser for written confirmation of its current authorisation and session arrangements.
