The second round of entrance examinations for public universities and colleges began Sunday, with 154 of them conducting the tests across Japan for 253,178 applicants.
The ratio of the applicants to the offered enrollment seats stood at 3.3 times, down 0.1 point from the previous year.
The second round will be held two more times, on March 8 and March 12.
The number of applicants stands at 25,040 for the March 8 exams to be held by 12 universities and colleges with the ratio unchanged at 12.6 times, and 210,309 for the March 12 exams by 140 universities and colleges with the ratio at 9.7 times, up 0.1 point.
The secondary exams follow the unified exams held in January.
The government began organizing the unified exams for national and local government-run universities and colleges in the 1979 academic year, and upgraded them in the 1990 academic year for use also by private universities and colleges.
Japan's academic year begins in April.
