USA Study Abroad Questions
Expert Answers
Most recently answered
What is the approximate budget needed for studying abroad in the UK, Australia, NZ, or USA?
The budget for studying abroad varies significantly depending on the country, university, and course you choose. On average, you should plan for around ₹25–40 lakhs per year for countries like the UK, Australia, or New Zealand, and about ₹25–50 lakhs per year for the USA depending on the university. For a full master’s program, this typically translates to ₹25–40 lakhs total in the UK (since most programs are 1 year) and ₹50 lakhs to ₹1 crore for countries like the USA or Australia where programs are usually 2 years. Your final budget will depend on the course you want to study, tuition fees, living expenses, scholarships, and lifestyle.

A budget under ₹10 lakhs for tuition is quite restrictive for the US. Typically, even the more affordable master’s programs in the US have tuition fees starting from around $12,000–$15,000 per year (approximately ₹10–13 lakhs), and many programs go significantly higher. Because of this, it can be challenging to find universities that fall strictly within a ₹10 lakh budget for tuition alone.

For US university applications, you’ll typically need your academic transcripts/marksheets (usually from your bachelor’s degree), degree certificate or provisional certificate, passport, Statement of Purpose (SOP), updated resume, and 2–3 Letters of Recommendation (LORs). In addition, most universities require an English proficiency test like IELTS or TOEFL. Depending on the program, you may also need to submit GRE or GMAT scores, GRE is commonly required for technical or STEM programs, while GMAT is more relevant for management or business-related courses. Some universities have made these tests optional, but strong scores can still strengthen your application. For certain fields, additional requirements may apply. For example, portfolios for design or architecture programs, or work experience for MBA programs. Since requirements vary by university and course, it’s important to check specific criteria while shortlisting.
