EDUCATION LOAN

To make sure that students get access to the best quality of education, the Government of India has made it very easy for students to apply for education loan from a large number of banking institutions. Almost all nationalized banks now offer loans to students who wish to study abroad. Banks provide funds considering the course, duration, and the student’s requirement.

It is important to note that there are some differences between the requisites to apply for loans to study in Indian institutions and to study overseas.

Each bank has its criteria of offering education loan to students where the tenure of the loan like interest rate to be charged, the period and mode of repayment etc vary from bank to bank.
