Insurance companies are launching international student insurance covers for Indian students studying abroad. These hybrid policies combine both travel and inpatient health insurance benefits, as well as transit and travel risks like baggage and document risks. Such policies can cost five to six times more if bought abroad, as health insurance in India is far cheaper. Popular plans include the Tata AIG Student Travel Guard, Bajaj Allianz Student Elite Plan, Royal Sundaram Travel Secure Student Plan and Care Health Student Explore Plus.
