To get selected in the MEXT Scholarship, you need to follow a clear multi-stage process. First, you must meet the eligibility criteria related to academics, age, and nationality according to the category you are applying for, such as undergraduate, research or teacher training. The next step is submitting the application form along with documents like transcripts, research plans or study plans to the Japanese Embassy or Consulate in your country. After document screening, shortlisted candidates are called for a written examination, which usually tests English, Japanese and subject-related knowledge depending on the scholarship type. If you clear the written test, you will then face an interview conducted by the embassy panel to check your motivation, academic potential and suitability for studying in Japan. Candidates who pass all these stages are recommended to MEXT, and the final selection is made by the Japanese government. Maintaining a strong academic record, writing a clear study or research plan and performing well in the test and interview significantly increase your chances. All the best!
