An education loan is a financial aid option for students seeking to fund their education in India or abroad. Various banks and financial institutions provide education loans with competitive rates, making quality education more accessible.
Students applying for an education loan do not need to make immediate payments; the repayment period typically starts months or even years after completing the course, with some extending up to 5 to 7 years.
Interest rates vary among banks. The loan amount is directly disbursed to the institution or university at the beginning of each semester by the bank. Education loans cover all related expenses, including library fees, hostel fees, book costs, laboratory fees, ensuring that students do not have to bear these expenses out of pocket.
