Is 20万円 enough as the starting salary for an engineer in Japan?

I am still an engineering student, doing my master’s at a National University in Japan. I was approached by one of those 就職活動 services. I gave them my resume in Japanese and they asked me if this much salary is okay.

I am a scholarship student so I receive 1.44万円 already every month plus I don’t need to pay for pension and I live in Sapporo so living is not as expensive either.

I am planning to move to a hotter place for my job because I am not comfortable living in a very cold place. I have heard that other places in Japan especially Tokyo are very expensive so this much salary will not be enough.

What are your thoughts on this?
