Of the destinations here, Japan has the lowest typical total, about ₹24 lakh for a master's. Public universities with low or no tuition keep costs down; living costs then become the main expense.
From published international tuition for each university, visa-rule or planning living costs for its city, and one-time visa and travel costs, converted at stated planning exchange rates. Your offer letter's cost of attendance is the figure lenders use.
Secured loans can cover most of the cost minus a margin of about 15%; unsecured limits depend on the university and the co-applicant's income.
