What are some bachelor's programs in Germany where the tuition fees are under ₹10 lakhs per year?

The exception matters as much as the rule here. Most public German universities charge zero tuition for a bachelor's degree, but a small group of institutions in Baden-Wuerttemberg and Technical University of Munich charge non EU students tuition, so your final cost depends heavily on which specific university and state you choose.

Universities Where Tuition Runs Near Zero

• RWTH Aachen University, strong for Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.
• Freie Universitaet Berlin and Humboldt University of Berlin, both strong for Computer Science and related sciences.
• Technical University of Berlin, for Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.
• University of Hamburg, TU Dresden, and University of Leipzig, covering Computer Science, Engineering and Physics.
• Saarland University, notable for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence.

At all of these, you pay only a semester contribution, typically 150 to 350 euros, roughly 15,000 to 37,000 rupees, well within a 10 lakh rupee annual budget once living costs are added.

Where Tuition Applies Even At A Public University

• Baden-Wuerttemberg universities such as University of Stuttgart, Heidelberg University and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology charge non EU students roughly 1,500 euros per semester, still generally under 10 lakh rupees a year once combined with living costs, but no longer effectively free.

What Else To Budget For

• Living expenses: commonly 900 to 1,200 euros a month depending on the city.
• Language requirement: many bachelor's programmes are taught in German, so B2 to C1 German proficiency is often required, and English taught bachelor's options are comparatively fewer.

My Advice

Do not choose a university purely because Germany is broadly known as tuition free, since that reputation no longer applies uniformly. Confirm the exact state and current fee policy for each shortlisted university before applying, and if German language ability is not yet strong, weigh that preparation time seriously against the relatively few English taught bachelor's options currently available.
