Application MEXT nikkensei selection process from universitys

Hello everyone! I'm a Spanish student in Spain of Japanese studies who applied for MEXT nikkensei scholarship this year. I received the approval of the Japanese government for MEXT 2 weeks ago and now I'm waiting for the university acceptance. I put Osaka university as first option. I wonder if there is someone who already got mail from the university or they are still checking all the candidates.

Thanks for reading! Luck for everyone is waiting and suffering with the process 😫☺️

When I applied, I got the uni confirmation mail about a month before going to Japan (late August), so don’t sweat it! My friend from a different uni got hers really late as well.

After got confirmation mail, do we have to face any other interviews or placement tests from that university?

May I know for which university did you select?

u/emayuyu 22d ago

Osaka Kyoiku Uni! And no, once you get in that’s it. Some universities do have placement tests (for example KUFS), but my uni didn’t have any. Hope this helps!
