What is the ROI if I invest lakhs for studying abroad in Germany?
It depends. Studying abroad can offer a strong return on investment (ROI), but the outcome varies based on your chosen country, program, and field.
- Typical costs: Tuition ranges from ₹10 lakh - ₹30 lakh/year, plus living expenses of ₹8 lakh - ₹15 lakh/year, depending on location.
- Potential salaries: Graduates in technology fields may earn ₹60 lakh - ₹90 lakh/year, engineering ₹45 lakh - ₹80 lakh/year, and business management ₹30 lakh - ₹70 lakh/year.
- Payback period: Most students recover their investment within 2 - 5 years after graduation.
ROI is usually higher for STEM and technology programs, and countries with lower tuition like Germany can improve your payback period. For personalized guidance on maximizing your ROI, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
