The average cost of living for students abroad typically ranges between ₹60,000 and ₹1.5 lakh per month, depending on the country, city, lifestyle, and accommodation type. Rent usually takes the biggest share, followed by food, transportation, utilities, and personal spending.
Use the country pages to compare destination-level affordability, the city pages to understand local living patterns, and the calculator when you want a personalised estimate linked to your education-loan planning.
A realistic monthly budget usually falls between ₹70,000 and ₹1.3 lakh, but the range depends heavily on the country and city you choose. Sharing accommodation and cooking regularly can make a noticeable difference.
Housing, food, and transportation are the top three cost drivers. Rent sets the tone for your overall budget, while food and transport depend on how often you eat out, commute, and rely on taxis versus student-friendly public options.
Yes. Major destinations explicitly include living expenses in their proof-of-funds requirements, so you need to budget for more than just tuition before your visa is approved.
