Questions parents ask
How much does it cost to study in Mainland China from India?
Across 16 courses in our research, one year in Mainland China typically costs about ₹9.4 L for tuition and living at today's exchange rate.
What could it cost when my child starts?
For a child in Grade 8 now, starting in 2031, the same year could cost about ₹13 L if fees rise 3% a year and the rupee falls 3.5% a year. An illustration, not a forecast; the rupee can also hold steady.
Why does the rupee matter for a degree in Mainland China?
Fees in Mainland China are paid in CNY. If the rupee weakens against the CNY, the same fee costs more rupees. Saving part of the money in dollars keeps pace with that.
