Is there any other money required apart from the ten to twelve lakhs for living expenses?
Yes, you will need to budget for additional expenses beyond the ₹10 - 12 lakh typically set aside for living costs.
Key extra costs include:
- Tuition fees: Vary widely by country and university; these are usually the largest expense after living costs.
- Application and visa fees: Each country and university has its own fees, plus visa processing charges.
- Health insurance: Often mandatory, with costs depending on your destination and coverage.
- Study materials: Books and supplies can add to your annual expenses.
- Miscellaneous expenses: This includes personal items, student services, and leisure activities.
These costs are subject to change and can differ based on your chosen country, university, and course. If you need help estimating your total budget, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
