Over 50,000 Korea Job Aspirants Apply for KLT
By Anil Giri
Kathmandu Correspondent
Students in Nepal

Over 50,000 Nepali youths aspiring to go to South Korea for jobs have filled out application forms to take the Korean Language Test. The test is part of the Employment Permit System, and will take place over three days.

The number of aspirants submitting applications for the KLT is far higher than last year's.

Last year, there were some 40,000 applicants. EPS Nepal started distributing application forms on Monday, and today is the final submission date.

As Korea has been one of the top foreign employment destinations for Nepali workers, the number of job aspirants has been constantly rising.

The Ministry of Labour and Transport Management expects 10,000 aspirants by the time the last of the forms are distributed.

On the first application day, some 18,000 aspirants turned out. The number was 17,000 and 15,000 on the second and third days, respectively.

This year, the government has added more distribution centres in view of the rising number of applicants.

The government has set the dates for the KLT test as July 6 and 7 in the nation's capital. This year, Korea is hiring 7,100 Nepali aspirants.
