Are there similar entrance tests for Japan, and do they conduct tests after application initiation?

Yes, Japan requires international students to take specific entrance exams, mainly the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU). The EJU tests Japanese language skills and academic knowledge in subjects like Science, Mathematics, and Japan and the World. It is held twice a year, including in India.

Many universities may also conduct their own entrance exams, essays, or interviews after you apply. Requirements vary by university.
