Is the budget of fifteen lakhs INR the minimum required for studying abroad, or can it be less in UK/Australia in Canada/Germany?

No, fifteen lakhs INR is not the minimum required to study abroad - it can be less, depending on the country and program.

For destinations like the UK, USA, Canada, or Australia, ₹ 15 lakh is usually not enough for a year's tuition and living expenses. However, more affordable countries such as Poland or Germany often offer total annual costs (including tuition, living, and visa) below ₹ 15 lakh. For example, studying in Poland can range from ₹ 6.5 - 16 lakh/year based on university and lifestyle.

Choosing cost-effective destinations makes it possible to study abroad with a budget under ₹ 15 lakh.
