Yes, it is possible to pursue a master's program in France within a total budget of ₹15 to ₹20 lakhs, including both tuition and living expenses.

- Public universities: Typical tuition fees are about ₹3.5 lakh/year for non-EU students, totaling roughly ₹7 lakh for a two-year program. - Living expenses: In cities outside Paris (like Lyon or Toulouse), expect costs of ₹6.5 to ₹13 lakh for two years. - Total estimated cost: For public universities in affordable cities, the combined two-year cost usually falls between ₹14.3 lakh and ₹21 lakh.

Choosing public universities and living in smaller cities makes staying within your budget realistic.
