What is the typical budget per year for universities in UK and Germany, and can I find options within 15 lakhs per year?

Germany is the better option if you want to study within a ₹15 lakh per year budget, especially at public universities. In the UK, total annual costs (tuition plus living expenses) usually exceed this amount.

UK:
- Tuition: £15,000 - £25,000/year (approx. ₹15 - 25 lakh)
- Living expenses: £9,000 - £15,000/year (approx. ₹9 - 15 lakh)
- Total: Typically ₹24 - 40 lakh/year (more in London)

Germany:
- Public universities: No tuition for most undergrad programs; semester fees €150 - 350 (approx. ₹13,500 - 31,500)
- Living expenses: €850 - 1,200/month (approx. ₹72,000 - 1,08,000)
- Total: ₹9 - 14 lakh/year (public); private universities can be higher

Studying in Germany at a public university fits your budget. For UK options, staying under ₹15 lakh/year is unlikely.
