It is really expensive to get into a university for an Indian. Specially at the UG level.

I have friends who're paying anywhere between 20-30 lakh rupees for their under-graduate course in various North-American universities (American/Canadian), per annum. Do note, that this is only the tuition fee, and there are other costs to provide for too such as hostel facilities, food, stationery, pocket-money and other miscellaneous expenses. From a personal perspective, it really doesn't make much sense to me to do my under-graduation abroad given the horrendous amount you have to pay, and the fact that an under-graduate degree doesn't get you as good a job as one would ideally aim for. It's merely a preliminary degree. Now, doing your post-graduation abroad is a different question.
