EPS Skills Test Schedule 2026: Check Your Date by KLT Number on OEC, Plus All 100 Marks Explained
Check your EPS 2026 skills test schedule on OEC by KLT number in 4 steps. Marks: interview 50, physical 30, basic skills 20, plus up to 5 extra points.
To check your EPS 2026 skills test date, open OEC's page at jobs.oec.gov.pk/2nd_round_skills_test_eps_2026, type your KLT number and press Submit. The Overseas Employment Corporation (OEC) posted this "2nd round (Skills Test)" schedule for the 9th Point System of EPS 2026 on 3 November 2026. Its notice stays listed on oec.gov.pk until 12 November.
The skills test is the second round after the EPS-TOPIK Korean language test. It is marked out of 100, with up to 5 extra points for experience and training. Below are the steps, the marks for each part, and what each task asks you to do, from OEC's own test guide.
Check your EPS skills test schedule in four steps
The schedule is not a single list. OEC shows each candidate's slot after you enter your KLT number, the number on your EPS-TOPIK admit card. It takes under a minute and needs no login.
- Open jobs.oec.gov.pk/2nd_round_skills_test_eps_2026 in your phone or computer browser. You can also reach it from the notice on oec.gov.pk, under "Click Here for Schedule".
- Type your KLT number in the box marked "Enter your KLT Number". Copy it exactly from your admit card or result.
- Press Submit.
- Note or screenshot the date, time and place shown, and keep it with your documents.
We opened the page on 8 November 2026 and it loaded normally. We did not enter a KLT number, because we do not hold one, so we cannot show the result screen. If your number returns nothing, check it against your EPS-TOPIK 2026 result. Only candidates who passed the first round have a skills test slot.
The EPS skills test is marked out of 100
OEC's skills test guide splits the 100 marks for manufacturing into three parts. The interview carries half the marks, physical fitness 30 and basic skills 20. Job capacity points add up to 5 more on top.
| Part | Marks | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Physical fitness | 30 | Grip strength, back strength and a burpee test |
| Interview | 50 | Self-introduction, attitude and basic Korean conversation |
| Basic skills | 20 | Tools, safety signs and a hands-on task |
| Total skills test | 100 | Industry: manufacturing |
| Job capacity (extra) | Up to 5 | Experience, training, education and qualifications |
The guide is a one-page PDF, "2nd Round Test Guide", attached to the OEC notice. It links to a fuller skills test guidebook from HRD Korea, the Korean agency that runs the EPS, and to a guide video.
What each task in the skills test asks you to do
The physical part measures grip and back strength with machines and adds a burpee test. The interview and basic skills parts are in Korean, so your Korean has to hold up after the TOPIK.
Physical fitness, 30 marks
- Grasping power: squeeze a grip measuring tool once with each hand.
- Back strength: pull once on a back strength measuring tool.
- Cardio: a burpee test, done in the correct posture.
Interview, 50 marks
- Self-introduction and attitude: introduce yourself, your strengths, job experience, career and plans in Korea.
- Basic conversation and movement instructions: answer questions asked in Korean, in proper Korean.
Basic skills, 20 marks
- Work tools and instructions: answer Korean questions about tools and instructions.
- National competency standards: answer Korean questions on core competency.
- Sense of safety: say what a safety symbol (pictogram) means and name the tool shown, in Korean.
- Inserting pins: put pins of different sizes, colours and shapes into the right holes on a board.
- Measure and cut: measure the weight and length of given materials and cut them to length.
The guide marks some tasks as common to everyone and others as one selection, so you may not do every specialised task. Practise all of them anyway. The grip and pin tasks reward a few minutes of practice at home.
Up to 5 extra points come from experience and training
On top of the 100 marks, OEC's guide lists up to 5 job capacity points: work experience 2, training 1, academic background 1 and qualifications 1. You only get them if you submitted proof in time.
The guide prints the work experience score as "2(1)". We read that as 2 points for longer experience and 1 for shorter, but the guide does not say so. OEC's earlier notice for EPS-TOPIK passers set out the documents and the 28 to 30 October window for handing them in. We covered it in our page on skills test documents for extra points. That earlier notice described the points differently, so if your score matters at the margin, ask OEC directly.
- Bring the originals of any document you submitted as a copy.
- Carry your CNIC, passport and EPS-TOPIK admit card.
- A false document can cancel your test and bar you, according to OEC's earlier notice.
