Thank , friend! Passed long waiting time with good end. I think that MEXT releases the results according to the university and soon your university will release it. Really I hope that you will get your good news soon, Friend!
 
Thank friend,armaan! And Congratulation to you and incaroc!!! I think, all of other friends who are waiting for the results will get good news you hoped!
 
Hello, Friends!!!
I get email from the university I applied in this afternoon. They said that I have been selected for MEXT scholarship for Oct 2015 and the related documents will be sent by 13 July. I hope all of you will get good news!!!
Congratulations!!!!
Which university you have applied for?
 
Congratulations, kalay, incaroc and armaan! I have yet to receive an email and I am a nervous wreck right now because this means that I will most probably get mine next week. I am still hoping for a positive result. What are your universities by the way?
 
I had applied to Nagoya Institute of Technology in Frontier Materials. Looks like their response in mail it seems everyone they applied for MEXT scholarship got the positive result. Don't worry,the result may vary according to the university but you will get the scholarship.Special recommendation from university probably get the scholarship unless you have flaws in your submitted papers.

I applied to the Kumamoto University, Friend!
 
Is there anyone going to Tohoku University? Regarding the university recommendation, do my university need a linkage with Tohoku in order to get a university recommendation or not necessarily? Also, do we need to take the entrance exam for the admission?

Hi Luishi.
Trying to answer your question,
Usually MEXT scholarship through university recommendation (university to university, U to U) is only for student from university which already has exchange agreement with the university you wish to apply.
link 1; link 2
So I suggest that you go to international office of your university and check whether your university has exchange agreement with Tohoku. If your university don't have agreement, you can apply to your university by embassy recommendation (government to government, G to G) instead.

I don't quite certain about the entrance examination, but based on my experience when applying to OU via university recommendation, after skype interview with my prospective professor, there were 3 other professors assigned to conduct entrance examination to me by email. After I finished the examination, the university then sent notification email which inform me that I passed entrance exam and selected as MEXT scholarship student candidate. However, other universities may have different methods.
 
by the way, congratulation kalay, incaroc and armaan! I haven't receive announcement from the university, but i hope it will arrive within next week. I still hope for positive result though ;)
 
so you have applied for october 2015 admission and got the result. congratulations. you have through university recommendation?

Hi everybody, congrats to all of you who have been selected for MEXT scholarship.
I intend to apply for MEXT scholarship from Keio Unversity. when do you guys think would be the best time to send my application? is it October or January admission? i wish to enroll in September 2016.
Please answer, I really appreciated your answers
 
Hi, I wonder if it possible to apply MEXT scholarship through university recommendation after I have already graduated university for 1 year?
or the only way to apply for those who have graduated is through Embassy recommendation.

hi, I will help to answer. Yes you are allowed to apply to university recommendation, just like the usual admission to enroll in uni, it doesn't have an age restriction. I also have graduated in 2014

Hello Cony,my university sent me an mail with null to and two of the administrator are in cc.They said you all have been selected for MEXT scholarship students. As far I know my university's quota was 5 and they applied for 5 students. As far I have been informed by former students that my university has a 100% successful record for MEXT scholarship. You can ask admission office about the result publishing timeline and their success rate. I guess this could make you a bit relax.

Thank you for your kindness, your information as well as your suggestion😅😅😅
 
Hi... I wanted to ask how you approach your respective supervisors asking whether they can recommend you for MEXT scholarship via uni recommendation?
I mean, I'm going to email them about my background, research interests and asking whether they are willing to accept me as a student there; but how should I ask if they can consider to nominate me to MEXT scholarship via uni recommendation?
How you people usually approach the professors? Advice needed...
Thanks a lot!!!
Yes, please anyone answer this? i also want to know how to be nominated to MEXT scholarship? what are the requirements? I'm planning to apply this year, and hoping to be nominated to MEXT.
and also, do you guys applied for G30 (english taught) program or not?

Hi naomi-sang and JYTan. I will try to answer your question from my experience to apply MEXT scholarship through university recommendation in special program (which i am waiting for the result of the scholarship).
I contacted to my prospective professor after I join the meeting which he was invited speaker of that meeting and I known that there are scholarship for international student to study in Japan. After that I email to Professor to introduce myself, my experience in science and my research interesting.

Hi naomi-sang and JYTan. I have applied for different program from you but I will try to answer your question from my experience to apply MEXT scholarship through University recommendation (now I am waiting for the result announcement). I sent an email to professor to join his lab to introduce myself and told him my research experience and research interesting and tell him that I would like to join in his lab if I am selected from MEXT scholarship. At that time I think that my prospective professor did not give me a high confidence to success in MEXT scholarship because he told me to find other scholarships because there are many applicant for this course and scholarship. However, I still applied to this course even if I know it is low rate of success.
The processes were continued with three steps of selection. Primary screening, the committee will screen the candidates from application forms which I think it is the most difficult step because there are many candidates and high competitive. Unbelievably I passed this step and I then sent email to discuss with professor about the chance to join in his lab again if I am successful applicant. For my opinion, to apply in field of science, GPA, English score and international publications are very important. If you are selected from primary screening you will be interviewed from three or more independent committee to select as university nominees to proceed for the final step which nominees need to be reviewed by MEXT. And now I am waiting for the result of final step.

My uni (GRIPS) notified me earlier that I got the MEXT scholarship :) This is the most wonderful news! I am wishing all other aspirants the best of luck.

The uni said that they will send the documents for enrollment through EMS or DHL at the end of July. @incaroc @kalay @armaan, did you already receive these docs? If you did, what essentially are these documentary requirements? Do we have to submit our transcript of records, etc. again?
