Kathmandu, March 5. The application form for Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) has opened in Nepal from today, 5 March 2020. From this year, the application fee for the test can be paid online from Khalti wallet.
Starting from this year, Japanese Language Teacher’s Association Nepal (JALTAN) – the body that administers JLPT in Nepal – has collaborated with Khalti to introduce online payment facility for the test. Tens of thousands of Nepali youths aspiring to study in Japan are likely to get a relief as they would be able to pay application fee for JLPT online. The application fee for the test has been fixed at three thousand rupees.
Japan is an attractive educational destination for Nepali youths. Every year, tens of thousands of students leave for Japan for higher education. All the students aspiring go to Japan for higher education must take JLPT test and pass the exam.
In the past years, when there was no other option to pay the exam fee, the students had to visit the JALTAN office at Bhuktimandap and stay in queues for hours for submitting the application fee. In view of this problem, Khalti arranged for an online payment system. After completing the online form, the candidates will be redirected to an online payment page where they can enter their Khalti ID and complete the payment process in a few seconds.
Amit Agrawal, Director of Khalti believes that allowing candidates to submit fee through online gateway would make the process hassle-free. He shared,
“We are excited to partner with JALTAN to provide to provide Khalti’s easy online payment services to all JLPT candidates in Nepal. Now the candidates can pay the exam fee easily from their mobile phone. Also, those who do not use Khalti can pay the fee at their nearest Khalti Pasal.”
