Waseda University typically lists tuition of JPY 1,200,000 or more (approx INR 7.22 L) per year, while Keio University lists around JPY 1,180,000 or more (approx INR 7.10 L) per year, though some programs may list higher. Both are private universities with English-taught options, so you should budget accordingly.

My Advice

Compare the total yearly cost, not only the headline tuition, and shortlist programs whose English requirement matches your current scores. Fees and score requirements change, so check the official university pages before you apply.
