If I choose a different country to study abroad, will the base cost be around thirty lakhs in UK/Australia for a Master's?

If your ceiling is Rs. 30 lakhs, that budget realistically covers only parts of a UK or Australian Master's, not the whole program in most cases. The UK's shorter 1 year duration makes it the closer fit, while Australia's 1.5 to 2 year programs push the total well past that number. You need a scholarship or a very budget focused university to make either work at that level.

Realistic All-In Cost Comparison

How To Actually Bridge The Gap

• In the UK, Rs. 30 lakhs can work only at a budget or modern university outside London, with modest tuition and strict living costs.
• In Australia, Rs. 30 lakhs realistically needs an accelerated 1 year Master's, a 30 to 50 percent tuition scholarship, or a regional university.
• Part time work helps offset living costs, up to 20 hours a week in the UK during term and 48 hours a fortnight in Australia, though it should not fund tuition.
• Target automatic merit scholarships or government backed grants, such as the GREAT Scholarships in the UK, to cut 20 to 50 percent off tuition.

My Advice

If Rs. 30 lakhs is a hard ceiling, shortlist regional or modern UK universities and apply for merit scholarships the day applications open, rather than assuming a top ranked city university will fit your budget. If Germany's low public tuition fits your field, weigh it seriously as an alternative before stretching your Australia or UK plan too thin.
