Hello, Himanshu. This is Bing. I'm glad to hear that you are interested in the MEXT scholarship, which is a prestigious program offered by the Japanese government to support international students who wish to study in Japan.
According to the information I found, the eligibility criteria for the MEXT scholarship vary depending on the type of scholarship you apply for. There are different categories of scholarships, such as research student, undergraduate student, specialized training college student, Japanese studies student, and young leaders program student. Each category has its own requirements for academic background, age, language proficiency, and nationality.
Since you are doing a bachelor's degree in commerce and you want to pursue an MBA in Japan, I think the most suitable category for you is the research student scholarship. This scholarship is for students who want to enroll in a master's or doctoral program at a Japanese university. To be eligible for this scholarship, you must:
- Be under 35 years of age as of April 1, 2024.
- Be a college graduate or have completed 16 years of schooling.
- Have a good academic record and a research proposal related to your field of study.
- Have sufficient knowledge of the Japanese language or English language to conduct your research and communicate with your supervisor and classmates.
- Be a citizen of a country that has diplomatic relations with Japan and not have Japanese nationality.
The application process for the MEXT scholarship consists of several steps, such as embassy recommendation, university recommendation, written test, interview, and final selection by MEXT. The application period and the selection criteria may differ depending on the country and the embassy you apply through, so I suggest you check the website of the Japanese embassy or consulate in your country for more details.
You can also find some sample examination questions and past exam papers on the MEXT website1.
If you are accepted for the MEXT scholarship, you will receive the following benefits:
- A monthly stipend of 146,000 yen (approximately 1,300 USD) for research students.
- An economy class air ticket to and from Japan.
- Waived application, admission, and tuition fees at the university.
- Additional allowances for preparatory education, relocation, and thesis.
There are many MBA programs in Japan that you can choose from, depending on your interests, goals, and preferences.
Some of the top-ranked MBA programs in Japan are offered by GLOBIS University2, Hitotsubashi University3, Keio University4, and McGill University - Japan5. You can find more information about these and other MBA programs in Japan on the websites of

I hope this information helps you to learn more about the MEXT scholarship and the MBA programs in Japan. I wish you all the best in your academic endeavors.
