The budget for studying abroad varies significantly depending on the country, university, and course you choose. On average, you should plan for around ₹25–40 lakhs per year for countries like the UK, Australia, or New Zealand, and about ₹25–50 lakhs per year for the USA depending on the university. For a full master’s program, this typically translates to ₹25–40 lakhs total in the UK (since most programs are 1 year) and ₹50 lakhs to ₹1 crore for countries like the USA or Australia where programs are usually 2 years. Your final budget will depend on the course you want to study, tuition fees, living expenses, scholarships, and lifestyle.
