Would it be better to go to Europe or is there some other country I should select, like New Zealand or Malaysia for a Master's?

Choose based on your priorities: if you want strong post-study work opportunities and a globally recognized degree, Europe (especially the UK) is a top choice. If affordability is your main concern, New Zealand and Malaysia may fit better within your ₹ 20 lakh budget.

- Europe (UK, Ireland): Higher tuition and living costs, but excellent post-study work options (up to 2 years in the UK) and many 1-year master's programs.
- New Zealand: Moderate to high costs, but offers a 3-year post-study work visa for master's graduates and a relaxed lifestyle.
- Malaysia: Lower tuition and living expenses, but limited post-study work options.

If post-study work and a shorter program are priorities, Europe is ideal. For lower costs, consider New Zealand or Malaysia. Align your choice with your career goals and financial plan.
