    1. Dear M Nur Ghoyatul Amin,

      your country must have diplomatic relations with Japan, this is the basic condition to meet the eligibility criteria. Your university does not have anything to do with that.
      You can obtain more information from the official website (link at the bottom of the post). There is a special section for Questions and Answers (http://www.jasso.go.jp/tokyo/faq/index_e.html). There is also a "contact us" link there, so you can ask directly the organizers.

      Kind regards,
      Mladiinfo team
