Does the budget of fifty to sixty lakhs for UK include accommodation or is it separate?
Yes, a 50-60 lakh budget is generally an all-inclusive figure covering both tuition and accommodation for a one-year UK Master's. Tuition runs Rs. 20-35 lakhs and living costs including rent add Rs. 12-18 lakhs yearly, though studying in London can push your total closer to 65 lakhs or beyond.
Yes, when people quote 50-60 lakhs for a UK Master's, that figure usually already includes both your tuition and your accommodation. How comfortably it stretches depends heavily on whether you study inside or outside London.

My Advice
Pick your city before you finalize your budget, since choosing Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, or Glasgow over London can be the single biggest lever that keeps your 50-60 lakh budget comfortable instead of tight.
