Can I afford to study a master's in logistics or hospitality in Singapore with a budget of around ₹5 lakh?
→No, a Rs 5 lakh budget does not cover a full master's in logistics or hospitality in Singapore, since tuition alone ranges from SGD 16,200 at MDIS to SGD 53,562 to 55,590 at NTU or NUS, far above the roughly SGD 7,500 that Rs 5 lakh converts to.
Can I do more than one internship abroad during my Master's in Singapore, despite the standard student visa only allowing one formal internship?
→Yes, the idea that a Singapore Student's Pass allows only one internship is not accurate; the Ministry of Manpower generally limits term time work to 16 hours a week unless the internship is credit bearing, and overseas placements depend on that country's own rules too.
