Some universities in Japan have a system which grants admission before the student’s arrival in Japan by using the EJU Examination results and high school scores to determine eligibility (“Pre-arrival Admission System"). By using this system, students can confirm their admission to Japanese institutions of higher education before arriving in Japan.
