The cheapest yet probably recognized all over the world ( to a certain extent) and with good track record of quality instruction would be the Indian Institute of Technology, India. And they have quiet a few of them spread across the country. EE dept was especially strong in my hometown (Madras) 10 years back and I am sure that's the case now. URL. Cost FREE. Yes.https://www.iitm.ac.in You heard that right. But you have to go through a one of the most rigorous entrance examinations in the world(IIT-JEE) to get placed. But once you get in like they say, your life is made. Email in the profile so feel free to reach out.

I completed my undergraduate degree from IIT Madras. It is not free, there is a tuition fee. I think the tuition fees for a foreign national would come around 4k to 5k USD. You can find eligibility criteria for foreign nationals over here[1]. 1. https://www.iitm.ac.in/sites/default/files/uploads/adm._pro....

AFAIK (Because I studied at one of these institutes) it's open to only NRIs (non-resident Indians)

I know for fact that there were students from African nations who attended not IITs, but the B-Schools(IIMs) and Med schools(JIPMER etc). PLease follow-up with the resp IITs by contacting the faculty directly. You might have to obtain the Indian equivalent of F1(US student visa) though.
