NO CONFUSING TOTALS
The fee for your course. Each university page shows the available Year 1 to Year 6 reference separately.
Your accommodation. We state whether it is included, separate, monthly or yearly — and flag unclear entries.
Your meals. A mess plan and your actual food spending are different. We do not turn missing prices into zero.
USD 1 = ₹95 is UNEXT’s fixed estimate, not the market rate. RUB 1 ≈ ₹1.1343, based on the Bank of Russia rate dated 24 September 2026 (100 INR = 88.1605 RUB). INR figures are approximate and rounded. Your bank’s payment rate may differ.
Fees can change each year. For planning, allow for a possible 5–10% annual tuition increase due to inflation. This is a UNEXT budgeting allowance, not a confirmed increase for every university. The final university fee schedule takes priority. No extra inflation increase has been added to the tables.
Only tuition, hostel and mess/food are compared here. This is not the full cost of studying abroad. Where the reference bundles costs, we identify that instead of inventing a tuition-only split.
Fee figures are from the business-supplied reference selected for the 2026–27 comparison, not independently issued 2026–27 university quotes. Confirm the final invoice, room type and billing period before paying.
FOR STUDENTS AND PARENTS
Check current travel guidance from the Embassy of India in Moscow before choosing a city or booking travel. For Kursk and Crimea, confirm the latest local situation and in-person teaching arrangements directly.
