No, a budget of ₹24 lakhs for three years of study in Germany - including visa and passport expenses - is typically not sufficient.

For most students, the total estimated cost over three years is significantly higher, mainly due to living expenses and mandatory blocked account requirements:

- Blocked account (proof of funds): About €11,904/year (subject to change), totaling approximately €35,712 for three years.
- Living expenses: Typically €850 - €1,200/month, or €30,600 - €43,200 over three years.
- Health insurance: Around €110 - €125/month, or €3,960 - €4,500 over three years.
- Semester contribution and other fees: Around €900 - €1,200 total.
- Visa and passport fees: Minor compared to above costs.

At current rates, the total cost usually ranges from ₹68 lakhs to ₹85 lakhs over three years.
