🇯🇵 Duolingo English Test for Japan — from Indonesia

From Indonesia — the essentials

Costs in: Indonesian Rupiah (Rp)
Credentials: Kemendikbud — ijazah / degree recognition
Funding to search: LPDP, Australia Awards, Chevening, Fulbright
Where students go: Australia, United Kingdom, United States
Apply from: Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung

LPDP and most scholarships require Duolingo English Test/IELTS (commonly 6.5–7.0 IELTS equiv). At about $70 the DET is taken online from Indonesia — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS.

We have not yet verified Japan-specific DET figures, so this corridor is honest general guidance and is not yet indexed. Confirm the requirement on the official page.
