I haven't graduated from college, can I still enroll?

The goal of the IT Job Hunting Program is to get a job at a Japanese company after graduation. Since it is necessary to graduate from a university or junior college in order to obtain a working visa in Japan, "university or junior college graduate or higher" is a condition for admission as a general rule. However, if you are an IT engineer, you can get a working visa if you pass the following exams. http://itpec.org/jp/index.html

It is possible. However, it is necessary to get the passing score on the coding test that you are required to take before admission (100/30)
