Indian student applying for MEXT 2026 – Need info about Ritsumeikan Osaka Ibaraki Campus

Hi! I’m from India and planning to apply for the MEXT university-recommended scholarship (2026) at Ritsumeikan University – Osaka Ibaraki Campus (OIC).

I want to do a non-research (coursework-based) Master’s program, related to game development or UX design.

I have a few questions and would really appreciate any help:

1. Are there any Indian students currently studying at OIC with MEXT?
2. How is the interview process for non-research MEXT? Was it in English or Japanese?
3. What kind of questions did they ask in the interview?
4. How competitive is the MEXT University route?
5. What kind of portfolio or documents helped in your selection?
6. Any tips for Indian students applying to Ritsumeikan?

If you’ve gone through this or are currently at OIC, please share your experience! Thank you so much 😊
