No, completing a master’s degree in New Zealand for ₹20 - 30 lakhs is generally not feasible. Typical total costs are higher.
- Annual tuition: NZD 26,000 - 37,000 (about ₹14.3 - 20.2 lakhs), and some universities charge more.
- Living expenses: NZD 15,000 - 18,000/year (about ₹8.1 - 9.7 lakhs), higher in big cities.
- Additional costs: Health insurance, visa fees, and airfare add further expenses.
Combined, tuition and living costs usually range from ₹22.1 - 29.7 lakhs per year, excluding other fees. Even with careful budgeting, total expenses for the degree often exceed ₹30 lakhs.
