Questions parents ask
How much does it cost to study in South Korea from India?
Across 21 courses in our research, one year in South Korea typically costs about ₹13.4 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 ₹18.4 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 South Korea?
Fees in South Korea are paid in KRW. If the rupee weakens against the KRW, the same fee costs more rupees. Saving part of the money in dollars keeps pace with that.
