Yes, there are several affordable study-abroad options outside Europe for Indian students.

- Malaysia: Tuition fees around ₹3 - 5 lakh/year, living costs ₹25,000 - 50,000/month. Offers many English-taught programs and a multicultural environment.
- Taiwan: Tuition fees about ₹2.7 - 3.3 lakh/year, living costs ₹40,000 - 60,000/month. Known for technology and research, with generous scholarships.
- Mexico: Tuition fees ₹1.5 - 4 lakh/year, living costs ₹3 - 5 lakh/year. Affordable education and a rich cultural experience.
- Argentina: Public universities are tuition-free, living costs around ₹2 lakh/year. High-quality education with minimal tuition expenses.
- Philippines: Tuition fees $1,500 - $3,000/year, living costs $400 - $600/month. English-medium instruction and budget-friendly.
