Although Dallas is a big city, Texas as such is below in terms of living expenses in comparison to other big cities.
I reckon 800-1000 $ per month.

Congrats on such a generous scholarship offer. Mind sharing your profile and admits from any other colleges.

I am heavily leaning towards accepting the SMU offer for now.

Thanks. My only worry is the finance part. Not sure how will I be able to manage it. How much can we earn through the internships ? and residential facilities are in-campus ?

I think the internship amount depends of where you go. But on average students ear anything between 4k-5k per month.

Also, I heard there are GA available starting second year in SMU. It being a university might open up a number of positions.

Total fee I think would be close to 100,000 $. So you have 40k fee left + the living expenses. to pay at max.

How did you come up with 50 lakhs dude??

40k = 26 lakhs.
25 k = 15 lakhs

Thats like maximum. Plus you have internship thats like everyone gets them. And GA if you can manage. Something like 10-15$ per hour.

I feel it will be somewhere in the region of 25-30 lakhs.

You pay that figure for an MBA in India.

Ek Kudos to banta hai yaro :D
