An education loan is a financial facility offered by banks and financial institutions to help students pursue higher education without facing immediate financial burden. These loans are used to cover expenses such as tuition fees, hostel or accommodation charges, examination fees, books, study materials, travel costs, and other education-related expenses.
With the increasing cost of professional and higher education in India and abroad, education loans have become an important support system for students and families. Education loans allow repayment to begin after completion of the course, giving students time to establish their careers before starting loan repayment.
As a consultancy firm, we assist students and parents in understanding education loan options, eligibility requirements, documentation procedures, lender expectations, and applicable regulatory guidelines. We do not provide loans directly. All education loans are sanctioned and disbursed solely by banks or financial institutions as per their internal credit policies and regulatory norms.
TYPES OF EDUCATION LOANS
- Education Loan for Studies in India
These loans are provided for courses pursued at recognized institutions within India. They cover undergraduate, postgraduate, professional, and technical courses such as engineering, medical, management, law, and other approved programs.
- Study Abroad Education Loan
These loans are designed for students pursuing higher education outside India. In addition to tuition fees, they may cover living expenses, travel costs, insurance, and other related expenses, subject to lender policies.
- Education Loan with Collateral
Secured education loans require collateral such as residential property, commercial property, or fixed deposits. These loans generally offer higher loan amounts and may have comparatively favorable interest rates.
- Education Loan without Collateral
Unsecured education loans are offered based on the academic profile of the student and the creditworthiness and income stability of the co-applicant. Loan amounts may be limited compared to secured loans.
KEY FEATURES OF EDUCATION LOANS
- Loan amount based on course, institution, and country of study
- Fixed or floating interest rate options depending on lender policy
- Moratorium period covering course duration plus an additional grace period
- Repayment tenure generally ranging from 5 to 15 years after moratorium
- Structured EMI-based repayment
- Possibility of partial interest payment during the study period, subject to lender terms
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
