German in India

Goethe-Institut are expensive. They charge around ₹28,500 for just one level (like A1). So to reach B1 level, you will spend nearly 1 Lacs rupees. But if you join some local private coaching in your city, fees will be less, maybe ₹10,000 to ₹15,000. And if you learn from YouTube, it is totally free of cost, you just need internet connection.

There are two main ways to do this. You can join a professional institute like Goethe-Institut (Max Mueller Bhavan). They are the official ones and teachers are very good. Second option is self-study which many students are doing now. You can watch YouTube channels like "Learn German" or use apps like Duolingo. If you are serious, complete A1 and A2 level online by yourself to save money, and then join classes for advanced levels.
