Hey there,

I will briefly explain you about the Japanese Government Scholarship programme for foreign Undergraduate students, called the MEXT Scholarship (Monbukagakusho). First of all, you don't need to study Japanese language to apply for this scholarship, since you will be admitted for a 1 year preparatory course in Japan where you get to study their language, culture etc. If you study Japanese in advance, that would be quite helpful. You won't even have to write exams like IELTS if your mode of study till 12th was in English and that you know basic English langauge. You need to pass the first screening, which will be the assessment of your documents including marks sheets, letters of recommendation etc. Once you pass the screening, you will have to attempt a written examination which will have questions related to English language, basic science etc and other subjects of the field of study you have chosen. You will be selected based on several criteria. Obtaining the scholarship will be beneficial since you will get a monthly stipend of nearly Rs 1,00,000 (which is basic monthly expenses in Japan, since it is very expensive there), exemption from tution fees, round-trip air ticket, visa charges etc are all included.

Hi Guna,

I understand that you hold a B.Com (//B.Com) degree and wish to work at some organisation in Japan and that you also possess a JLPT N3 certificate but what you need to understand is that the recruitment guidelines vary from one company to the other.

Typically, most of the professional standard jobs at Japan currently ask for a JLPT N2 or even JLPT N1 level certifications but that is not the absolute term for recruitment. So for instance, a company may hire you if you are technically sound with a JLPT N3 level certification but when there are two people with similar technical expertise, they would surely go for someone who possesses a JLPT N2 or N1 certification. Since you already are a professional in this domain with some technical expertise and experience, the odds are in your favour for your recruitment in some company or the other in Japan.

BEST WISHES!

hey there!

It mostly depends on the colleges or universities you are applying in and the course for which you have applied. Your certificates need to be recognized by the institution you are applying in, and there has to be provision for scholarship based on that. Every Institute might not have these provisions.

Its no true. Japanese people are very friendly. Jobs there pay very well and way of living is good. They pay is pretty good. Opportunity for engineers and management students are very good.

1. Dear student yes it is true. International students are encouraged to get job in Japan after the completion of MBA finance in Japanese University. The person who has acquired MBA finance from Japanese University for him it is not a matter he is a foreigner or not but he has to speak in Japanese this is the only need because he has to know well and cope up with the environment office office and without the  fluency in Japanese language it is not possible. Those who  have notfluency inJapanese language they are kept in a separate accommodation to cope up with the situation.

Ideally any Candidate who has completed his/her Graduation from a Recognized University and has completed atleast 16 years of formal school education is eligible for studying MBA in Japan. You should have Japanese Language Proficiency test and ideally should score more than 360 marls. And any of the English Proficiency tests like TOEFL, TOEIC or IELTS examination should  be attempted with atleast a score of 7 and above. With MBBS as an educational qualification you can certainly study MBA in Japan. You can pick any of the specializations from Finance, Law, Entrepreneurship, Accounting, Marketing, Strategic Management and Business Policy, Organizational Behavior and Human Resources Management, Financial Management and Economics. Japan Educational Institutions follow the semester system for an academic year. Every Academic Calendar has 2 semesters. Once starting in April and runs until September while the Second Semester lasts from October through March.

Yes there is a high chance that while studying in a Japanese University you may strike up a good opportunity at a company by campus placements. Also it would increase your international exposure and give you good life lessons.

Japan education system is much advanced and there you will  definitely get a whole lot of good opportunities.

Also the companies would sponsor your visa in Japan so you wont be having much problems with the Embassy.
