Delhi Tops Global Affordability; Mumbai Leads India in QS Best Student Cities 2027
Delhi ranks as the world's most affordable city for international students with average tuition fees around $2,700 annually, while Mumbai ranks 12th in affordability and leads India overall at 91st place in the QS Best Student Cities 2027. Both cities show strong employer demand, ranking among the top 35 globally for graduate recruitment. However, they face challenges attracting international students, with Delhi and Mumbai scoring low on student diversity. Other Indian cities like Chennai improved rankings, while Bengaluru declined due to higher tuition fees.
