Frequently Asked Questions about Cost & Funding Gaps
How much does it cost to study abroad from India?
Total costs vary widely. Germany public universities cost around ₹10-12 Lakhs/year (mostly living costs via block accounts), the UK costs ₹20-30 Lakhs/year, and the USA costs ₹35-50 Lakhs/year depending on public vs. private university tuition.
What is a funding gap, and how is it calculated?
A funding gap is the difference between your total expected expenditure (tuition + living + insurance) and your available capital (personal savings + family sponsorship + confirmed scholarships). The remaining gap must be filled via education loans.
How does study abroad ROI work?
ROI measures your expected post-graduation salary against your initial education investment. Countries with long stay-back visas (like Germany's 18 months or USA's 3-year STEM OPT) offer higher career ROI.
What is included in pre-departure costs?
Pre-departure costs include English proficiency tests (IELTS/TOEFL), university application fees, APS certification (for Germany), visa fees, flight bookings, and health insurance.
