How to get in
We have not yet researched this university's admission pages, so we will not guess its deadlines or fees. Start from its official website and look for “international admissions”. The general process for Japan — exams, application platform, visa and costs — is in the Japan guide.
Studying in Japan
Indian students go to Japan for comparatively low tuition versus the US/UK, strong engineering/technology and MEXT-scholarship-funded research programmes. Admission runs through a Certificate of Eligibility (CoE) that the accepting school applies for on the student's behalf before any visa step, and many undergraduate courses expect the EJU examination plus Japanese-language ability.
