Hello, I'm a student and I'm about to shift to hyderabad in class 11 along with my friends. And I'm in a bit of a dilemma considering the fact that it's quite a bit expensive here. How much pocket money do I need to survive leisurely in this city. I'm going to have a roommate aswell and therefore the cost of living for 2 guys ? Also Is oakridge international a suitable school? My parents can afford a annual fees of 1.8 L.

Hi,
I am planing to relocate to Hydrabad due to job transfer. My office will be in Hitec City next to VSNL building. Please suggest me good/decent place to leave in nearby location. Also I am expecting rent for 2BHk approx 8000/-.
#Priya on Aug 26, 2014 :
Can anyone suggest me good schools in Hyderabad, my kids are in elementary school in NY, we have plans to come down to Hyderabad for good, would international schools take up kids in mid of the year. I just have Oakridge International School in my mind, let me know if they are any better schools.

Thanks in Advance,
#Anam on Feb 18, 2014 :
Inflation is high in India so expect costs to change every year. This may not be an issue for students on a short stint. Family budget planning will also need to factor in cost of health insurance, car maintenance etc. Single people/ students renting a room should be ok on a tight budget. Again if it's a family who needs some domestic help/ maid services those costs have gone up substantially and vary according to the area one lives in. We've been researching this since we plan to move to Hyderabad in a year or so.

Also please pros & cons between Hydrabad & Banglore.
1) Cost of living : It is lot cheaper. They to stay a little in sub urban. Posh areas could be costly. Beeramguda/kukatpally
2) Education : Its much much cheaper than blore.
3) People nature : Very friendly and lazy attitude
4) Climate : moderate. Very hot in summer. Stay at office or indoors
5) Safety : Very safe city
6) Outside Fooding : Mess, Restaurants, street food.. everything great and cheap
7) Transport Cost : metro is coming up. Busses are cheap pass around 500k per month. autos charge 20k on shared basis.
8) Places to visit in weekends hell lots of places.
#John on Dec 26, 2013 :
#Sanjay

Yes 29k will be a good life for you.

5k Rent
5k Food
5k Travel for all
2k Medical
3k Elec, internet, cable etc
rest of the money save and buy mercedes
#john on Dec 26, 2013 :
Hyderabad is a place where one can live for 50 INR per day and can also live spending 10k INR per day. I have seen many people who earn not more than 5k but live happily. There are hotels that lease out rooms for 200 rs a day and then there are hotels which give you rooms for 15k. so its all in your mind.

Simple concept is, more the sub urban the lesser the rent is. Go and live in areas like sainikpuri where rent is quite less and you will see lots of foreign students staying. The city is quite safe and its fun to live in there.

You can eat in mess for 40 INR per unlimited meal or you can go pick up a pizza for 75 INR. I think best way to experience is stay in the city and learn for yourself. It is easy and it is fun
#Sanjay on Nov 26, 2013 :
is 29k sufficient to live in hyderabad with 2 daughters studying b.tech

#avinav on Oct 31, 2013 :
The overall costs are understated. I moved here from London, so if you are looking at living standard equivalent to that in the West, the costs are always on the higher side. For example, a 2BHK apartment with proper amenties, power backup, interiors rents around INR 19000+, there are not too many places to eat out except a few which do not come cheap either. So my estimate will be overall it is 10% higher cost of living than mentioned here.
#ahmed jaber on Sep 28, 2013 :

Hi, may I know approximately how much do I need to bring if I plan to spend 45 day in Hyderabad?
I am just spending on transport, food, accommodation and some local tourist destination (maybe a few tourist destination nearby as well). How is the cost of living there as well?
#Ms. Neli on Apr 03, 2013 :
Hi Juan . Ola . Even If You earn 20000 INR ,Hyderabad is very comfortable to live in . Buts for Expats , its necessary You make friends & stay in groups.
#juan on Jan 09, 2013 :
#Mladen, Yes, apples are expensive compared with other fruits (e.g. 1 kg banana may cost Rs 20-30). The reason is because apples are imported. Additionally, imported goods are generously taxed.
