→In a 30 lakh budget, how much goes to living costs rather than tuition?
→In a typical Rs. 30 lakh international student budget, roughly Rs. 10 to Rs. 12 lakh, about 33 to 40 percent, goes toward living costs, leaving the rest for tuition. Germany flips this pattern completely, since free public tuition means most of your budget goes to living costs instead.
