Looking for a tablet under Rs 30,000 that can do it all? Check out the Xiaomi Pad 6, an 11-inch Android tablet powered by the tried and tested Snapdragon 870 chipset. While Xiaomi’s user interface may not be as feature packed or intuitive as others, the tablet has received the HyperOS update, which enhances the overall user experience.

However, the Xiaomi Pad 6 does not come with a stylus in-box, but you can buy them from as low as Rs 1,5000. While the base variant that comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage can be purchased Rs 26,999, but we recommend going with the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration, which costs Rs 2,000 more. For taking notes, you might have to buy the Xiaomi Smart Pen (2nd gen) separately, which can be purchased separately for Rs 5,999.

Apple iPad (10th generation)

The only good Apple tablet priced below Rs 50,000 is the iPad (10th gen), which was launched back in October 2022. While you can also buy the iPad mini (6th gen), the small screen might not be ideal for taking notes during classes.

Featuring a 10.9-inch LCD screen and powered by the Apple A14 Bionic chip, which made its debut on the iPhone 12, the iPad (10th gen), the iPad (10th gen) might not be the fatest Apple tablet, but it does serve as the entry point for people to experience the Apple ecosystem. The iPad (10th gen) is one of the best tablets for studying in its price bracket when paired with the Apple Pencil or any other pressure sensitive stylus. While the 64GB storage variant can be purchased for Rs 32,900, the 256GB version is selling for Rs 49,900.
