With a budget of around ₹6 lakh per year, pursuing a master's degree in India is your most feasible option, as tuition fees here are generally more affordable than in most other countries.

You can consider these types of universities in India:

- IITs and NITs: Top government institutes with strong placement records and fees typically within your budget.
- Central Universities (like University of Delhi, JNU): Offer a wide range of master's programs at low annual fees.
- Private Universities (such as Christ University, LPU): Many offer master's programs with fees around ₹1 - 2 lakh per year.
- Online/Distance Programs (e.g., IGNOU, Chandigarh University): UGC-approved, with total program fees often well below ₹6 lakh.
