Can a UK taught masters be done for 25 lakh?

Your Rs. 25 lakh budget can fund a full UK taught masters, since the course lasts only twelve months and cuts out a second year of living costs, but you must avoid London and choose a mid tier regional university to keep your total spend within reach.

The Realistic Cost Breakdown

How To Stay Within Budget

• Target York St John, Leeds Trinity, Wrexham or the University of Cumbria for fees near GBP 12,000
• Avoid London completely, since UKVI requires a higher living cost proof there
• Apply for automatic international excellence bursaries worth GBP 1,000 to GBP 3,000
• Remember your visa requires you to show the full remaining tuition plus nine months of living funds as liquid cash upfront

My Advice

Shortlist three regional universities with automatic bursaries before you apply, and get your liquid funds ready early, since the UKVI show money requirement means your entire Rs. 25 lakh, or the bulk of it, needs to sit verifiably in your account for 28 days before your visa application.
