Planning to apply to a Japanese university in the 2025 academic cycle? Then the EJU Exam 2025 (2nd Session)—the November sitting of the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU)—should already be on your calendar. Conducted by JASSO, the EJU measures both Japanese language ability and academic readiness in key university‑level subject areas. Many Japanese universities require valid EJU scores for undergraduate admission and, in some cases, for selected postgraduate programs and scholarship screening.

In this complete guide you’ll find: key dates, application instructions, detailed syllabus, scoring basics, past question practice resources, result access, common FAQs, and why TLS – The Japanese Language School is a strong option for structured EJU preparation in India.

What Is the EJU & Who Needs It?

The EJU (Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students) helps Japanese universities evaluate whether non‑native applicants are academically and linguistically prepared for degree study in Japan. It is not the same as JLPT: JLPT tests language only, while EJU combines language + academic content used in university admissions screening.

EJU Test Sections

• Japanese as a Foreign Language
• Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology)
• Mathematics (Course 1 = basic; Course 2 = advanced)
• Japan and the World (social sciences, global & historical themes)

Held twice annually:

• June = 1st Session
• November = 2nd Session (this guide)
