For many Indian families, the dream of studying abroad comes with a challenge—the cost. Tuition fees, living expenses, and currency fluctuations often make students wonder if it’s possible. Pathway programs through GradNetic and The WorldGrad make studying abroad more affordable without compromising on quality.

How much does studying abroad usually cost?

    A typical undergraduate program abroad can cost:

  • Tuition Fees: ₹12–25 lakhs per year
  • Industry exposure through project-based learning.
  • Other Costs: Visa, insurance, travel, textbooks
  • Over 3–4 years, this easily adds up to ₹60–80 lakhs.

How do pathway programs help save money?

    Pathway programs reduce the financial burden by allowing you to:

  • Study the first stage at GradNetic campuses or online at lower costs.
  • Save significantly on living expenses while studying from home.
  • Split financial commitments into manageable stages.
  • On average, students save ₹20–25 lakhs by choosing pathways.

Is the degree the same as direct entry?

Yes. The final degree is awarded by the overseas university and holds the same value worldwide. The difference is that pathways give you flexibility and affordability without reducing academic quality.
