Recommendations for the best laptop under Rs 50,000:

Whether you game, design, use the laptop for basic college needs ,or simply use it for browsing and normal usage, the best laptops under 50k should have you covered.
To begin with gamers, designers and architects that rely on a powerful GPU, we recommend getting a laptop with 940M, since it’s the best GPU in the budget. You can compromise a bit on the processor and RAM (which can easily be upgraded anytime), since GPU is likely to be the bottleneck in the laptop’s performance. 930M follows in the second spot, while cards like M360 (Meso XT), M430, M440 offer acceptable performance, but might fall short on playing the latest games.
Moving on, if GPU isn’t exactly your first criteria, we recommend 6th gen Core i5 or Core i7 CPU and 8GB RAM if available in this budget. Also, if you watch a lot of movies and media on your laptop, we recommend getting one with a 1080p display, since the experience is far superior compared to a 768p display.
You can easily prioritise your needs and based on the criteria mentioned above, pick what you think is ultimately the best laptop for you in this budget.
