Indian Rupee Hits Record Low Against US Dollar, Impacting Study Abroad Costs
The Indian Rupee has fallen to a record low against the US Dollar, reaching Rs 90 per dollar. This depreciation significantly increases the cost for Indian parents sending their children abroad for studies, as more rupees are now needed to purchase dollars for tuition and living expenses. For instance, a course costing Rs 48 lakh in 2022 now requires Rs 54 lakh. Experts suggest early planning and considering education loans in USD as potential strategies.
