    Hello, Sir. I am in my last year of Master’s in chemistry. I’m keenly interested in studying Korean language. I have appeared in CKLC from IGNOU, though the results haven’t declared yet. I need your guidance regarding which course should I go for further studies in Hangeul. As I live in Dehradun, Delhi is nearest to me. But if there are better Colleges other than Delhi, please let me know. Also, can Clearing TOPIK would provide me better opportunity in studying in Korea?
    Thank you!

      Delhi is the best place to learn Korean in India. You can try KCC with an aim to complete Advanced 2 in 3 years. There is also 3-year part-time Advanced Diploma from Daulat Ram College or JMI, or the better one is 2-year full-time PG Intensive Adv. Diploma from DU provided that you clear entrance test. All 4 options are good though CKLC won’t be considered anywhere since it covers very little Korean. It will take 3 to 5 years to learn Korean properly if your aim is good career prospect. Yes, TOPIK will be helpful for higher study in S.Korea as well as in the career. Let me know, if you have any doubt.

      I guess you are doing 1-year PG Intensive Diploma. You should continue until you complete 2nd year KF-2. Later, you can also appear for Topik Korean proficiency test to check your competence level. Yes, there are plenty of high-paying Jobs including translator or Interpreter in any MNC after achieving higher proficiency in Korean.

      Knowing Hindi is not required to learn Korean or any other language. Since you wrote this question in English which clearly means you know some English and believe me, this much is all you need. I can recommend few options if i know where you want to learn. In Chennai, you can join Inko Centre. Link

Enroll at Korean Culture centre. Irrespective of where you study, what matter at the end is how you study.

      Degree courses focus more on literature, culture, history and linguistic part whereas pvt. institution or cultural centre courses are more about language for day to day activity. That is why it cannot be compared. There are not many options regarding Advanced level Korean courses in India.

      For PG in Korean, there are only two options. (1) MA from JNU and to clear the entrance you need to complete at least 5-6 out of 8 levels from Korean culture centre or TOPIK Level V. (2) For 2 year PG KF-1,2 from DU, you don’t need any prior knowledge in Korean. Admission is through SLAT entrance and the written exam is based on English Language Aptitude, Reasoning, and G.K. & Awareness.

          The KCC courses are part-time whereas DU one is a full-time. You can apply for SLAT entrance test in May. If you clear the entrance, go with 2-year PG Advanced Diploma otherwise enroll in KCC with a goal to complete 6-7 levels in 3 years! Whatever you decide, you don’t need TOPIK. Unlike DU and KCC certifications that are valid for life, TOPIK is valid for only 2 years.

              No both are different. As the name suggest, MA in EAS focuses on East Asian countries and Korean language as an elective subject is a part of it whereas PG Intensive Advanced Diploma is only about Korean Language and literature. Both are full-time courses though.

      No. Continue with Korean only. I don’t know your prior knowledge but you should aim to complete TOPIK Advanced level V/VI in next few years. Korean beginners level is quite easy. The Intermediate and Advanced level, however are quite complex and time-consuming.

      Two different languages at the same time will be very difficult and confusing. If for hobbies and want to complete only beginners level, then it’s fine otherwise Avoid. Once you complete Advanced level in Korean, you can pursue Japanese. The future of Korean Language is full of opportunities. Read – Scope of Korean Language
