Questions parents ask
How much does it cost to study in Japan from India?
Across 29 courses in our research, one year in Japan typically costs about ₹10.9 L for tuition and living at today's exchange rate.
What could it cost when my child starts?
For a child in Grade 8 now, starting in 2031, the same year could cost about ₹15 L if fees rise 3% a year and the rupee falls 3.5% a year. An illustration, not a forecast; the rupee can also hold steady.
Why does the rupee matter for a degree in Japan?
Fees in Japan are paid in JPY. If the rupee weakens against the JPY, the same fee costs more rupees. Saving part of the money in dollars keeps pace with that.
