What is the typical budget required for studying abroad, and how can I prepare for the IELTS exam to pass it successfully in Germany?

The typical budget for studying abroad depends on your destination and lifestyle:

- Germany: Public universities often have low or no tuition fees for international students. Living expenses are typically ₹70,000 - ₹1,00,000/month. You’ll also need to show proof of funds (about €11,904/year, subject to change) and pay for health insurance (€110 - €200/month).
- Visa and application fees: Usually ₹1.5 - 3 lakh before departure.
- Scholarships: Many countries, including Germany, offer scholarships that can reduce your costs.

For IELTS preparation:
- Understand the test format (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking).
- Practice regularly, focusing on weaker areas.
- Use official IELTS materials.
- Take mock tests under timed conditions.
- Review and improve your speaking and writing with feedback.
