It may be surprising to hear but <\/span>several countries offer reasonably low-cost education for students compared to other European countries.<\/span> The best part is students get access to high-quality education at a minimal tuition fee, thus easing the financial burden. This is a great option for Indian students who would like to pursue their higher education outside\u00a0 India.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does free education truly mean?<\/b><\/h3>\n

The tuition fee in Australia may start from AUD 20,000 per year depending on the university you apply to, the level of study and the course you wish to pursue. Similarly, the tuition fee in the USA can start from $25,000 per year, in the UK from \u00a310,000 onwards per year, and in Canada from CAD 21,000 per year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On average, if you look at these amounts in Indian Rupees, and also considering their difference in currencies, you would have to pay INR 10 to 20 lakhs or more per year. The figures here are approximate fees and should not be taken as exact amounts. However, with this approximation, you can identify the budget needed for studying at a university in one of these countries.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
