IGP(A) admission and scholarship eligibility are separate evaluations.
Not all IGP(A) successful applicants receive the MEXT scholarship. Students wishing to join my laboratory will enter to the Department of Information and Communication Enginnering . Last year, only one IGP(A) student who entered to our department received the scholarship.
Therefore, if you wish to receive a scholarship, it is necessary to have an academic performance coefficient (calculated using the method at the URL below) of at least 2.6, and in practice, a coefficient of 2.8 or higher is desirable.

Therefore, we strongly recommend careful consideration before applying to IGP(A).
The graduation requirements are stricter than for IGP(C), and once admitted to IGP(A), switching to IGP(C) is impossible.
