Yes, a budget of ₹50 - 60 lakhs is generally sufficient for a two-year master's program at many public universities in the US.

- Tuition: $25,000 - $40,000/year (public universities)
- Living expenses: $10,000 - $25,000/year, depending on the city

For private universities with higher tuition, this budget may be tight and you might need to consider scholarships or assistantships. Overall, your budget is reasonable for many strong options in the US.
