Expert Answers

Should I apply through the Embassy Track or the University Track for the Korean Government Scholarship?

→

Both tracks of the Korean Government Scholarship offer the same benefits. With the Embassy Track you apply through the South Korean Embassy in your country and can apply to multiple universities. With the University Track you apply directly to one participating university, and NIIED conducts the second-round selection.

Can I apply to South Korean universities for an undergraduate course after 12th without an entrance exam?

→

Often yes. For undergraduate courses in South Korea, a 12th pass certificate is usually the basic qualification and no entrance exam is typically needed, though some universities require exams or interviews. You apply directly with marksheets and a study plan, and language scores and apostilled documents may be required.

Can a paid deposit at a Korean university be withdrawn while waiting on a second admission decision?

→

Yes, you can withdraw your paid deposit at a Korean university while waiting on a second decision, and you get a full refund of your tuition deposit as long as you request it before the semester starts, though your original application fee stays completely non refundable in every case.
