The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
The fee comparisons offer a useful starting point, but averages may conceal differences between courses, campuses and study levels. Claims about costs being twice as high or one-third of overseas fees should therefore be treated cautiously. The enrolment figure is an expert estimate, not a confirmed outcome. Students would also need clear information on living costs, scholarships, faculty and employment results before assessing value.
