Yes, you can maintain a total budget of ₹25 lakhs for studying abroad, even if the initial blocked amount is ₹12 lakhs.

The blocked amount (about €11,904 or ₹12 lakh) typically covers your living expenses for one year. With a ₹25 lakh budget, you should be able to cover the blocked amount plus tuition fees, visa fees, travel, insurance, study materials, and other one-time costs.

Careful planning - like choosing shared accommodation and home-cooked meals - can help you stay within budget.
