Can UAE be considered as an option for my master's studies given my profile and budget for a Bachelor's?

Yes, the UAE is a viable option for your master's studies within your ₹20 lakh budget and academic profile.

With a 7.0 CGPA in a four-year bachelor's degree, you meet the general admission criteria for most UAE universities. Tuition fees at public universities typically range from AED 38,500 to AED 150,000 for a full program, which can fit your budget. Living expenses are usually AED 3,000 - 6,000/month (subject to change), so planning is important.

Public universities in the UAE, such as Khalifa University and Ajman University, offer master's programs that align with your budget and qualifications.
