If you are looking for 100% tuition waivers in 2026, focus on these three countries:

• 🇩🇪 Germany: Free (except Bavaria).
• 🇨🇿 Czech Republic: Free (only in Czech language).
• 🇮🇹 Italy: Free (if family income is <€24k/year).

Note: Norway is now paid. “Free” refers to tuition only; you still need ₹10-12 Lakhs annually for living expenses.

As of 2026, Germany (excluding Bavaria) and the Czech Republic (for Czech-taught courses) remain the top destinations offering 100% tuition-free education for Indian students at public universities. Italy provides full tuition waivers and stipends based on family income (ISEE), while Austria charges nominal fees (~€726/semester). Important Update: Norway is no longer tuition-free for non-EU students. Students must budget for living costs and mandatory Blocked Accounts (e.g., ~€11,208/year for Germany).
