Planning for Higher Education & College Costs in India

Education inflation in India averages between 8% and 10% per year—far outstripping standard consumer inflation. An engineering or MBA degree costing 20 Lakh today will cost over 70 Lakh in 15 years. Starting an equity mutual fund SIP early allows compounding to do the heavy lifting.

The Power of Starting Early

Starting a monthly SIP when your child is 3 years old gives you a 15-year runway. Due to compounding, more than 50% of your final corpus is created by investment returns rather than out-of-pocket savings.

Asset Allocation Strategy

For a 10+ year horizon, invest in diversified equity index & flexi-cap mutual funds. As college approaches (last 3 years), gradually shift the accumulated wealth to debt funds to protect capital.
