EJU subject selection score planning decides which faculties you can realistically apply to, so getting it right early saves months of wasted study. This guide walks through EJU subject selection score planning step by step, from choosing subjects to setting weekly targets.
EJU (Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students) apply गर्दा सबै subjects रोज्नु राम्रो होइन। तपाईंले target university/facultyले मागेको exact combination, examination language, accepted session र minimum/competitive score पहिले बुझ्नुपर्छ। गलत Math course, गलत Science pair वा Japanese/English booklet छान्दा राम्रो score आए पनि applicationमा प्रयोग नहुन सक्छ।
यो guide Nepali studentsलाई “EJU के हो?” भन्दा अगाडि लगेर university requirementsबाट उल्टो योजना बनाउन, score target set गर्न र 6-month preparation system बनाउन मद्दत गर्छ।
EJUको purpose
JASSOका अनुसार EJUले Japanको undergraduate-level university वा higher-education institutionमा study गर्न आवश्यक academic Japanese र basic academic ability evaluate गर्छ। Exam सामान्यतः वर्षमा दुईपटक—June र November—Japan तथा selected overseas locationsमा हुन्छ। Official overview: What is EJU?
हरेक universityले EJU प्रयोग गर्दैन, र प्रयोग गर्ने universitiesले पनि subjects, language, accepted exam session, score validity र selection weight फरक राख्छन्। Universityको latest 募集要項 final authority हो।
EJU Subject Selection Score Planning: Score Ranges
| Subject | Score | Main decision |
|---|---|---|
| Japanese as a Foreign Language | 0–400 + Writing 0–50 | Academic Japanese |
| Science | 0–200 | Choose two: Physics, Chemistry, Biology |
| Japan and the World | 0–200 | Liberal-arts basic academic ability |
| Mathematics | 0–200 | Course 1 or Course 2 |
JASSO rulesअनुसार Science र Japan and the World दुवै एकै examमा लिन पाइँदैन। Scienceमा दुई subjects choose गर्नुपर्छ; एउटा मात्र answer गरे grade नहुन सक्छ। Mathematics Course 1 liberal arts वा less-math-intensive facultiesका लागि, Course 2 higher mathematics माग्ने facultiesका लागि हो। Current details: EJU Examination Subjects।
Subject universityबाट backward select गर्नुहोस्
- Target major छान्नुहोस्।
- कम्तीमा 8–12 universities shortlist गर्नुहोस्।
- Latest international-student admission guideline download गर्नुहोस्।
- Required EJU subjects, language, session र minimum score spreadsheetमा राख्नुहोस्।
- सबैभन्दा धेरै doors खुल्ने valid combination select गर्नुहोस्।
| University/Faculty | Japanese | Academic subject | Math | Language |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A Economics | Required | Japan & World | Course 1 | Japanese |
| B Business | Required | Not required | Course 1 | Japanese |
| C Engineering | Required | Physics + Chemistry | Course 2 | Japanese/English per guideline |
यो table example मात्र हो; real requirements official university guidelineबाट भर्नुहोस्।
Common faculty combinations
यी typical patterns हुन्, guarantees होइनन्:
- Economics/business/law: Japanese + Japan and the World + Math Course 1 frequently seen।
- Engineering/IT science route: Japanese + specified two Science subjects + Math Course 2।
- Medicine/pharmacy/life science: Japanese + required Science pair + Math Course 2, often very competitive।
- Humanities/social sciences: Japanese heavily weighted; Japan and the World/Math requirement varies।
- English-taught programs: EJU subject/language requirement may differ or another test may be used।
Faculty name समान भए पनि subject requirement फरक हुन सक्छ। Computer Science एउटा universityमा Physics+Math 2, अर्कोमा Math मात्र वा English-standardized test माग्न सक्छ।
Japanese वा English question booklet?
Science, Japan and the World र Mathematics questions Japanese वा Englishमा choose गर्न सकिन्छ; Japanese as a Foreign Language test Japaneseमै हुन्छ। Application गर्दा language select गर्नुपर्छ र target universityले कुन language स्वीकार्छ हेर्नुपर्छ। Official rule: EJU Examination Language।
English booklet सजिलो लाग्यो भन्दैमा choose नगर्नुहोस् यदि target facultyले Japanese-language score चाहन्छ। Conversely, Japanese technical vocabulary कमजोर हुँदा English permitted छ भने performance benefit हुन सक्छ।
2026 syllabus revision
JASSOले Science, Japan and the World र Mathematicsका revised syllabuses 2026 EJU first sessionदेखि लागू गरेको छ। पुरानो prep book मात्र प्रयोग गर्दा deleted/added topics वा emphasis mismatch हुन सक्छ। Current syllabus linkबाट checklist बनाएर textbook chapters map गर्नुहोस्: 2026 Revised Basic Academic Syllabuses।
Minimum score र competitive score फरक हुन्
募集要項मा 200 minimum लेखिएको छ भने 200 पुगे admission हुँदैन; application eligible मात्र हुन सक्छ। Selectionमा EJU, school grades, English test, interview, essay, university exam र documents जोडिन सक्छन्। तीन numbers बनाउनुहोस्:
- Eligibility floor: apply गर्न चाहिने minimum
- Historical/estimated competitive level: past data वा school counselingबाट realistic range
- Personal target: bufferसहित aim score
Unofficial internet “cutoff”लाई verified official score नमान्नुहोस्। Year र applicant pool बदलिन्छ।
Japanese section strategy
- Reading: main claim, contrast, reference words र time management।
- Listening-reading: audio र charts/notes combine गर्ने अभ्यास।
- Listening: purpose, speaker position, conclusion र next action।
- Writing: clear position, reasons, examples, cohesion र time control।
JLPT N2/N1 prep useful foundation हुन सक्छ, तर EJU academic Japanese format अलग छ। Writing र listening-readingलाई छुटाउन हुँदैन।
Science pair कसरी छान्ने?
University requirement first। Engineeringमा Physics+Chemistry common हुन सक्छ; biological/medical fieldमा Chemistry+Biology common हुन सक्छ; तर institution-specific combination जाँच्नुहोस्। Exam dayमा दुई Science subjects choose गरिन्छ; prepमा three subjects shallow पढेर risk नलिनुहोस् यदि target schoolsले same pair माग्छन्।
Math Course 1 vs Course 2
“म humanities हुँ, Course 1” अनुमान नगर्नुहोस्। Economics, data/business analytics वा selective programले Course 2 माग्न सक्छ। Requirements spreadsheetमा exact course column राख्नुहोस्। Wrong courseको score universityले accept नगर्न सक्छ।
6-month preparation plan
| Month | Goal | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Requirements + diagnostic | University matrix, baseline score |
| 2 | Syllabus foundation | Topic checklist 40% complete |
| 3 | Core problem practice | Error log by concept |
| 4 | Timed sections | Weekly subject tests |
| 5 | Full mocks + weakness repair | Three complete simulations |
| 6 | Exam execution | Stable target-range scores |
Weekly schedule example
- Japanese reading/listening: 6 hours
- Writing: 2 timed essays + corrections
- Math: 5 hours
- Science or Japan and the World: 6 hours
- Vocabulary/error review: 3 hours
- One timed mixed or full mock every 1–2 weeks
Part-time jobले planलाई squeeze गरे shifts reduce गर्नुहोस्। EJUको दुई monthsअघि अचानक study hours double गर्नु भन्दा six-month consistency राम्रो हुन्छ।
Error log format
| Question | Error type | Root cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Math Q12 | Concept | Function transformation weak | Review + 15 similar problems |
| Japanese R8 | Timing | Spent 6 min on one passage | Skip rule at 3 min |
| Physics Q5 | Careless | Unit conversion | Unit check before final |
Wrong answer मात्र count नगरी concept, language, timing, calculation वा careless error छुट्याउनुहोस्। Score plateauको solution त्यहीँ भेटिन्छ।
Application timelineसँग EJU मिलाउनुहोस्
- Which EJU session each university accepts
- Score release vs application deadline
- First/second application rounds
- English test validity and score deadline
- Interview/university exam dates
- School attendance and graduation documents
November EJU score आएपछि deadline सकिने universityलाई target बनाएको छ भने June session आवश्यक हुन सक्छ। Calendar mistake academic weaknessभन्दा महँगो हुन सक्छ।
Pre-arrival admission
JASSOले EJU scores, high-school grades र other criteriaबाट Japan नआई admission offer गर्न सक्ने schoolsको list प्रकाशित गर्छ। Nepalबाट direct undergraduate route सोच्ने studentsले list र subject requirements जाँच्न सक्छन्। सबै schools वा facultiesमा यो option हुँदैन।
Common mistakes

FAQ
EJU र JLPT दुवै चाहिन्छ?
Universityअनुसार फरक हुन्छ। केहीले EJU Japanese प्रयोग गर्छन्, केहीले JLPT वा other evidence पनि माग्छन्। Latest admission guideline जाँच्नुहोस्।
EJU Englishमा दिन सकिन्छ?
Japanese as a Foreign Language test Japaneseमै हुन्छ। Other subjects Japanese वा Englishमा available छन्, तर target universityले accepted language specify गर्न सक्छ।
कति score राम्रो हो?
One universal good score छैन। Faculty, university, year र other selection componentsअनुसार competitive level फरक हुन्छ। Eligibility floorभन्दा bufferसहित target बनाउनुहोस्।
Disclaimer: EJU syllabus, dates, fees, venues र university requirements बदलिन सक्छन्। JASSO 2026 guideline र target universityको latest 募集要項 final रूपमा verify गर्नुहोस्।
Extra FAQs
