National Health Insurance is mandatory for all international students (approx ₹4,500/month), providing access to world-class medical facilities at minimal cost.
Costs & ROI
Lower Cost, Better Rankings
Total cost (tuition + living) is ₹6-10L/year compared to ₹25-50L in US/UK/Canada/Australia. Yet, universities like SNU and KAIST rank in the global Top 50.
