Germany is typically the most affordable among Germany, Australia, and Canada for studying abroad, mainly due to low or no tuition fees at public universities.

- Germany: Tuition fees at public universities are usually €0 - €3,000/year (₹0 - 2.7 lakh). Living expenses average €900 - €1,200/month (₹75,000 - ₹1,00,000), so your total annual budget is roughly ₹9.1 - 13.2 lakh.
- Australia: Tuition fees are AUD 20,000 - 45,000/year (₹11 - 25 lakh), with living costs AUD 1,400 - 2,500/month (₹80,000 - ₹1.5 lakh). Total annual budget: ₹22 - 40 lakh.
- Canada: Tuition fees are CAD 15,000 - 40,000/year (₹9 - 24 lakh), and living costs CAD 1,000 - 2,500/month (₹60,000 - ₹1.5 lakh). Total annual budget: ₹21 - 30 lakh.

Figures are typical and subject to change. Health insurance, visa, and application fees are extra.
