Cost of Living in New York City for Indian Students

Brooklyn College’s published graduate living benchmark is USD 41,343 (INR 39.49 Lakhs) for a ten-month academic year.

The table uses the college’s official 2026-27 graduate budget, which assumes shared-apartment housing.

Source: Brooklyn College International Student and Scholar Services 2026-27 graduate budget.

• Housing uses USD 26,832 (INR 25.63 Lakhs) yearly, nearly two-thirds of the published benchmark.
• No on-campus residence rate is published in the official budget.
• The college publishes no neighbourhood rent range, so no area is labelled cheaper.
• Transportation is USD 1,598 (INR 1.53 Lakhs), which changes the private-lease budget.
• Housing arrangements remain the student’s responsibility under the programme guidance.

Because housing is USD 26,832 (INR 25.63 Lakhs), compare lease length and first payment before choosing private accommodation.

Total Cost of Studying at Brooklyn College

The published Computer Science, M.S. benchmark is USD 58,719.40 (INR 56.09 Lakhs) for the first academic year.

This first-year budget shows the practical cost for Indian students, not a tuition-only figure.

This calculation uses 18 graduate credits, ten months of living costs, and the college’s published mandatory charges.

Source: Brooklyn College 2026-27 graduate budget, Bursar fee schedule, and United States Department of State visa fees.

• Tuition covers an illustrative 18-credit academic year, not the full 30-credit degree.
• Living covers ten months and includes the published shared-housing assumption.
• Mandatory fees include insurance, graduate student fees, the visa application, and the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) fee.
• The USD 250 (INR 23,883) graduate deposit is credited to tuition, so it is not added again.
• The table excludes the application fee, flights, passport, housing deposit, and bank charges.
• The United States visa and SEVIS amounts are paid before travel, not monthly.

For Computer Science, M.S., two academic years include tuition and twenty months of living costs. They include two years of mandatory allowances.

The resulting total is USD 111,773.80 (INR 1.07 Crore) at unchanged current rates.

A loan of INR 25 Lakhs carries roughly INR 33,500 monthly EMI at 10.5% over ten years.

Cash Needed Before Arrival

The calculated graduate pre-arrival cash floor is USD 785 (INR 74,991), combining the deposit, visa fee, and SEVIS fee.

Brooklyn College does not publish a housing deposit or first accommodation payment. The cash floor therefore excludes housing, airfare, and any tuition balance due before arrival.

Budget approximately INR 74,991 for the listed first-year hidden costs before unpriced housing and travel items.

Fee Saving Strategies for Indian Students

A 30-credit graduate route costs USD 25,650 (INR 24.50 Lakhs). Avoiding unnecessary credits is the clearest tuition saving.

For Spring 2027, reserve the USD 250 (INR 23,883) deposit and first tuition bill before 28 January 2027. Fall 2027 follows as the next intake.

• Use the shared-apartment benchmark of USD 26,832 (INR 25.63 Lakhs) when testing housing.
• No official on-campus rate is published, so do not assume a lower residence cost.
• F-1 students must follow federal work rules, so part-time income should not fund the arrival budget.
• Section 80E is an Indian Income Tax Department deduction for eligible higher-education loan interest. Preserve lender certificates and confirm current tax eligibility.
• Every extra graduate credit costs USD 855 (INR 81,678), so verify prerequisites before registration.
• Eligible F-1 graduates can receive up to 12 months of Optional Practical Training (OPT). A qualifying Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) degree may add 24 months.

Is Brooklyn College Worth the Cost for Indian Students

The Computer Science, M.S. budget reaches INR 1.07 Crore across two academic years, so value depends on funding capacity.

Brooklyn College’s official 2025 recognition lists Forbes No. 1 for highest payoff and a No. 8 social-mobility position.

The official Computer Science page names internships and employers including Amazon, Google, IBM, Infosys, and Microsoft.

Brooklyn College cites alumni median income of USD 121,600 (INR 1.16 Crore) twenty years after graduation. That figure is not a starting-salary promise.

A loan of INR 25 Lakhs carries roughly INR 33,500 monthly EMI at 10.5% over ten years. Compare this payment with an actual offer, not a long-run alumni statistic.

Eligible STEM graduates may use the current 12-month OPT period and a possible 24-month extension. Programme eligibility and employment authorization remain separate decisions.
