Yes, a budget of around ₹50 lakhs can be sufficient for a master's degree in the USA, especially at many public universities and in cities with a lower cost of living.

- Public universities: Typical total costs (tuition + living) range from ₹30 lakh to ₹60 lakh/year, so ₹50 lakh usually covers the full program.
- Private universities or major cities: Costs can exceed ₹68 lakh/year, so additional funding may be needed.

Your actual expenses will depend on your university, city, and lifestyle.
