I am applying pgp program. I was once interviewed by my prospective academic advisor prior to the scholarship notice. But I am not sure enough is that already counted as the entrance examination or nope.

Hello, I also applied under pgp. Maybe I can share my experience. I was interviewed with prospective supervisors before I submitted the application form. After final candidate announcement, I got 9 questions from 3 sensei. Then I got the certificate of acceptance.

As far as I know, for interviews, whether it is an email-based or Skype interview, are usually handled during the first quarter of the year (in my case around February). These interviews comprised of 3 sets of emails where each set has 3 unique questions. That's what I've experienced from the University I've applied. I'm not sure if it differs to other schools. But since you've mentioned that you're a PGP applicant, then maybe there's a different process under your category? Were you interviewed already like the details I have mentioned above last February?

I was interviewed via skype on November last year only by my prospective supervisor. The interview was about the research I intend to conduct, etc. Then in December I started to apply pgp program. Maybe if the mext accept me, there would be another interview by 3 sensei like @Momokoala.
@Sakaggi, well probably that makes the difference. Thank you anyway

until mid-August for the results? @Himitsu

Well, I am not yet sure about anything because they told me that I will have to appear for Entrance exam for Masters degree course or else I would be considered as a research student.

In that case, I think all you need to do is wait for the announcement 'til July for PGP applicants like you. Don't worry, I'm pretty sure you'll get it. I'll pray for you too. :)

Great to hear from another Tohoku University nominated student. I just heard back from my professor today that I was successful in getting the MEXT scholarship.
I was specifically nominated by the School of Engineering.
Looking forward to seeing you up there.
