for Indian Students 2026
Japan is an emerging destination for Indian students — UTokyo (QS #28), Kyoto (QS #46), and Osaka (QS #68) all offer programs in English at just ~₹3 lakh/year tuition. The MEXT scholarship covers full tuition + monthly stipend for Indian government-nominated candidates. Japan's ageing population means they actively recruit Indian IT professionals — Sony, Toyota, SoftBank, and Fujitsu all have India-facing hiring programs.
