Er.. the research topics depend on the department and supervisor that you choose?What are some of the typical research topics in this program?

Sorry for the late reply!I applied and I've already sent them the full documents. My department is Systems and Control Engineering. What's yours?
Sorry for the late reply!
It's a long story, but I actually ended up applying for the Tokyo Tech-University Recommended MEXT Scholarship for Research Students Program..
(Submitted the documents via email around 2 weeks ago and I just attended the Skype interview for it today.. hopefully they are satisfied with my answers though )
Long story: I did tell my advisor that I wanted to apply for the IGP (A) Program when I contacted him in the first email (around early September), from then we corresponded and I revised my proposal around 4-5 times based on his feedback. Around October, he gave me his last feedback and told me I could finalize my proposal already. After that he went silent for around 1 month until I sent a follow-up email around early November to ask about my status. He apologized for the late reply and suggested me to apply for the Tokyo Tech-University Recommended MEXT Scholarship for Research Students Program if I don't mind as he told me that the IGP (A) Program is very competitive. And that I could apply for this program because my university is a partner university of Tokyo Tech.. so I decided to go with his suggestion instead.
I will be under the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
Thanks, same to you tooI hope you could get the MEXT for Research Students Program. My university is also a partner university of Tokyo Tech but my advisor didn't recommend the same thing.
I will have my internet interview for IGPA next week by the way. I was surprised that they asked me to prepare a PPT showing my experiences
Thank You!!Thanks, same to you too
I guess it's because your CGPA is much higher than mine, so probably that's why your advisor didn't recommend the research student program.
(Mine is 3.43/4.00)
All the best for your interview next week!
I was also required to do a PowerPoint presentation of my graduation project and my research proposal, but surprisingly they only asked me about my graduation project and they didn't ask me anything about my research proposal at all..
Your result for the last 2 years is so much better than mine!Thank You!!
You make me scare because actually my CPA is the same as you (3.41/4) but I believe that they will only take in count the last 2 years of our academic record and convert it into their scale 3 of grade systems. Mine after the calculation is 2.8/3, which is still not a significant score for Tokyo Tech I think.
However, I had a 3-month research exchange at Tokyo Tech before at the same lab. In addition, I have got N3 Japanese certificate so I hope I could have a high chance
Congratulations! Which department are you accepted into?Hey guys !!! I got accepted to TITECH!!
Congratulations! Which department are you accepted into?
Yes. They did. My document was complete so they didn't require any additional.@Nhat Luong Did Tokyo Tech send any acknowledgement email to you when they received your documents?
Because I've just sent mine around Monday, and it has been delivered to them on Tuesday (2 days ago) when I checked my tracking number..
(The research student program has a different submission dateline for the documents compared to the IGP A program, was informed by them to update my forms around last Friday and to send my documents to them by post after checking the newly filled up forms)
How did the interview go?
I see. I still haven't received any reply from them yet even though the tracking status has shown that it has been deliveredYes. They did. My document was complete so they didn't require any additional.
The Interview was moved to January 8th. My professor told me that Tokyo Tech will have a long holiday in the new year. More time to prepare.
As I know, the office will reopen on January 6.Thanks, same to you too

Just found that out information from Tokyo Tech's website recentlyAs I know, the office will reopen on January 6.
I know our majors are different but can you tell me what they ask you about your final project? How long does it take because they give me 20 minutes for my presentation and I don't want to talk very detail because... you know, they are professors.
If their questions just about how long does it take you to finish this project or some general knowledge It would be great. I know some professors ask questions because of curiosity but some ask just for testing
Same here (I'm applying for the MEXT research student program though), I could only answer like 50% of the questions asked..Hi I have applied for IGP at TiTech. My interview was conducted on 6th. It lasted for 26 minutes. I could answer all the questions they asked except one or two. I'm pretty anxious as the result will be published after two months and as per mext my GPA is 2.41/3.
For which program did you apply? I applied for ISSEP...Same here (I'm applying for the MEXT research student program though), I could only answer like 50% of the questions asked..
My GPA according to MEXT's conversion is pretty similar to yours too (2.4x/3)
I didn't apply for the IGP (A) program but I applied for the "Tokyo Tech-recommended Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship Students Research Student Program" instead (refer to my posts above) under the department of Materials Science and Engineering.For which program did you apply? I applied for ISSEP...
Okay I get it. I am really getting anxious about my chances of getting selected.I didn't apply for the IGP (A) program but I applied for the "Tokyo Tech-recommended Japanese Government (MEXT) Scholarship Students Research Student Program" instead (refer to my posts above) under the department of Materials Science and Engineering.
Same here.. I'm very nervous about my chances too as I don't know what criteria they exactly look at (and I didn't do too well for the interview either)Okay I get it. I am really getting anxious about my chances of getting selected.
What I understood after discussing with many students who are currently studying at TiTech, the selection is quite competitive. However, reading all the previous threads I understood that more or less everyone got selected.Same here.. I'm very nervous about my chances too as I don't know what criteria they exactly look at (and I didn't do too well for the interview either)
