Is it true that for studying in Germany there is a block amount requirement of around 15 to 20 lakh INR?

No, the blocked account requirement for studying in Germany is not as high as ₹15 to ₹20 lakhs. For 2026, you need to deposit €11,904 (about ₹12.8 - ₹13 lakhs) in a blocked account to cover one year of living expenses.
This blocked account is mandatory for your German student visa. It does not include tuition fees or other costs. The ₹15 - ₹20 lakh figure may refer to your total estimated budget, but the blocked account itself is around ₹13 lakhs.
