It depends. Studying for an MBA in Dubai with a budget under ₹15 lakhs is challenging, as most universities have tuition fees above this amount, and living plus visa costs will increase your total expenses.

With your profile (6.0 GPA in Life Sciences, no backlogs), you may meet minimum eligibility for some MBA programs, but admission can be competitive and costs are typically higher than your budget allows.

If Dubai is your priority for its business environment, look for universities offering scholarships or part-time/executive MBAs, but options within your budget will be limited. You may also want to consider more affordable countries or public universities in Europe.
