Yes, studying abroad with a budget of ₹3 - 5 lakhs is challenging but possible if you target countries with low tuition fees and living costs.

- Germany, Poland, Hungary: These countries offer affordable or minimal tuition at public universities, and living expenses can fit within your budget.
- Scholarships: Applying for scholarships like the DAAD in Germany can further reduce costs.
- Affordable living: Shared housing, university dorms, and cooking your own meals help keep expenses low.
- Part-time work: Many countries allow international students to work part-time, which can offset living expenses (subject to change).

Careful planning and targeting cost-effective options are key. If you need help finding the right programs or scholarships, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
