Hey there,

I will briefly explain you about the Japanese Government Scholarship programme for foreign Undergraduate students, called the MEXT Scholarship (Monbukagakusho). First of all, you don't need to study Japanese language to apply for this scholarship, since you will be admitted for a 1 year preparatory course in Japan where you get to study their language, culture etc. If you study Japanese in advance, that would be quite helpful. You won't even have to write exams like IELTS if your mode of study till 12th was in English and that you know basic English langauge. You need to pass the first screening, which will be the assessment of your documents including marks sheets, letters of recommendation etc. Once you pass the screening, you will have to attempt a written examination which will have questions related to English language, basic science etc and other subjects of the field of study you have chosen. You will be selected based on several criteria. Obtaining the scholarship will be beneficial since you will get a monthly stipend of nearly Rs 1,00,000 (which is basic monthly expenses in Japan, since it is very expensive there), exemption from tution fees, round-trip air ticket, visa charges etc are all included.
