Here are three options for obtaining a scholarship to study abroad. This scholarship is awarded based on a selection process and qualifications. Every sector, such as engineering or accounting, has its own set of requirements, and if you meet them, you can apply and begin the application process.
1- Apply directly to reputable public organisations and colleges, as these universities administer scholarship tests prior to admission. Furthermore, if you perform well, you have a good chance of receiving a 3040% scholarship. This scholarship is awarded based on a selection process and qualifications.
2- Join a well-known private Indian company that offers international summer and winter exchange programmes. And for this, Chandigarh University in North India is the best because it has relations with over 100 international organisations. After completing a year in a private institution, you are eligible to apply for foreign programmes at universities. Universities tend to assess students' abilities through a series of tests, and if you do well, you might be awarded a scholarship from an overseas organisation.
3-Always look online for various online exams held by international organisations, such as Olympiads, that offer students the opportunity to study abroad through scholarships.

The mathematical answer to your question is quite straight forward to calculate. The median salary out of a Stanford MBA is $125K with an offer rate of 94%, so the expected salary at graduation is $116K. So you will spend $200K for a 1st year return of $116K. Then you can add other things, like expected growth, opportunity cost, some kind of value to intangibles and happiness. If you want you can even throw in some black swan events: If I go to Harvard and start a company with a classmate and an insane exit, I will make $X, but the time for that is Y (discount it over 7 years assuming it is VC funded) and the probability of it is Z (where Z 1% for sure). See Badreddin Edris' answer to Is it worth spending $200k for an MBA at Harvard? For a nice answer that looks at this issue from a qualitative perspective. On the other hand, the likely situation for an individual is a desire to leave what you are currently doing. This is the best reason to do an MBA, not the calculation I presented above. The reality is that it is easier to convince someone you can switch fields from school than it is once you've started working (though not impossible ofc). Also, by definition you will be surrounded by people who've done a variety of things and so you can learn from them to figure out what you want to do next.
