What is the passing rate at Japanese universities?

Japanese university is all about getting accepted. Once you pass the entrance exams and pay the king's ransom of a tuition, you don't really have to study or do any work at all. Lecture halls are mostly empty and students spend their time playing sports or socializing. This is seen as a chance for them to network and build social skills, because they were furiously studying for the entrance exams 16+ hours a day all through junior and senior high school. Most actual college-level skills are taught by the employers, not the universities. The degree is just a piece of paper that proves "I passed the entrance exam and my family was rich enough for me to attend this school."

The passing rate is high because the entry rate is low. The entry exams are very difficult for 90% of the prospective students. Once in, it is not as bad. Students who do not get acceptance to a university, attend a cram school. Locally it is known as being Ryonin or a master less samurai.

Close to %100. The profs tend to give the exact same lectures and exams year after year, so that makes it pretty easy. Then there is the fact that anyone who is motivated enough to go through the entrance exam is probably going to want to graduate.

hahaha passing rate?i dont know.who cares. engineering programs tend to be harder to pass so the passing rate is low compared to other fields of program.(in some cases as low as 40% at some point) the tuition fee of japanese univ. is not so high:around $6000/year for national universities(ones we normally attend). private universities have their own tuition fee schedule but they approx. cost you double and there are fluctuations among programs

99% and the ones that don't kill themselves
