Fourteen international branch campuses in India charge an average annual undergraduate fee of £10,140, according to an analysis by Rahul Choudaha of DrEducation Research. This is about twice the average at a Tier 1 private Indian university and roughly one-third of fees at the universities’ overseas campuses. Australian undergraduate fees average £13,884, while UK fees average £9,516. Postgraduate fees are higher at UK campuses. Seven UK universities offer 50 programmes and six Australian universities offer 33. The campuses are concentrated in Mumbai, Bengaluru, GIFT City, Delhi NCR and Chennai. Estimated intake for 2026-27 is 2,730 students, though Choudaha expects actual enrolment to be 1,500 or fewer. Pune and Hyderabad may become future markets.
