Japan is becoming a popular study destination for Indian students due to its high-quality education, affordable tuition, and strong career prospects.

- Top fields: Engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence, and business.
- Tuition: Around ¥535,800/year (approx. ₹3.1 lakh), which is generally lower than many Western countries (subject to change).
- Scholarships: MEXT scholarships cover full tuition and offer a monthly stipend of ¥117,000 - ¥145,000 (approx. ₹68,000 - ₹85,000), easing living costs.
- Language: Many programs are taught in English, so Japanese language skills are not always required.
- Career prospects: Japan has a high demand for skilled professionals, and post-study work pathways are well-defined.

Eligibility and application requirements vary by program and level. For most undergraduate courses, strong academic performance in Class 12 is needed. For master's or research scholarships, specific criteria apply.

If you want to explore Japan as an option, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you through programs and scholarship opportunities.
