The typical budget for an MBA in the UK ranges from ₹45 lakh to ₹1.2 crore, depending on the university and city. Top UK universities charge £55,000 - £75,000 in tuition, with London living expenses adding £24,000 - £42,000/year. More affordable options start around £25,000 in tuition, with lower living costs outside London.

In the USA, MBA tuition is usually $25,000 - $60,000/year, and living expenses range from $1,200 - $2,800/month depending on the city. The total budget often falls between ₹40 lakh and ₹1 crore or more.

Both countries offer scholarships and part-time work options to help manage costs. For a personalized estimate and university options within your budget, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
