We haven't confirmed this year's application window, and these dates move every cycle — so we won't print one. The official page is the only reliable source. Ask us and we'll track it for you and tell you when it opens.
Eligibility
You must be under 40, hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree, and have maintained an average GPA of at least 80%. Both you and both of your parents must hold non-Korean citizenship, which Indian applicants satisfy. India is a designated country for the programme, so Indian citizens meeting the criteria can apply on the same terms as any other eligible nationality.
Two routes, and you choose one rather than both: the Embassy Track, applying through the Korean Embassy in your country of citizenship, or the University Track, applying directly to one of the designated universities. Each has its own documents and timetable. Korea planned to invite 2,000 international students for graduate degrees through the programme in 2026.
Tuition + stipend + travel/settlement/insurance subject to current rules. Confirm the current value on the official page before you apply.
