You’ll be quite surprised to know about the recent hikes in the education fees of some of the premier institutes in India – be it Indian Institute of Management (IIM) or Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). The latest course fee structure released by IIM-Ahmedabad shows that it will cost Rs 19.5 lakhs for the 2-year management course in 2018, which is approximately 400% higher than what it used to be in the year 2007. Hence, if we calculate the fees considering this average hike of 20% every year, it will cost around 95 lakhs for this 2-year course in 2025 (which is indeed a huge amount). Similarly, the tuition fee for IIT has been increased to Rs 2 lakhs from the earlier fees of Rs 90,000 per year. At this rate, this fee can go up to as high as Rs 17 lakhs in the next 8 years.
Parents, who haven’t planned well in advance and hence, are not prepared for the huge costs associated with education, can fall worryingly short of the required amount when the time comes. Educating your kids is going to be an expensive affair in India and hence, it’s high time you start planning for the future. The sooner, the better.
