Keep these five things in mind when you approach
a Finance Institution for money to finance your
education. 
  • Education loans have made life easier it is one
    of the popular means to fulfill academic dreams
    these days. Education costs have become extremely
    expensive and often even after planning
    appropriately, one tends to fall short of funds.

1. Eligibility for loan
  • Most courses in India / Abroad offered by
    recognised educational institutions, qualify for
    loan, however, it makes sense to check with
    popular banks on the eligibility to avail loan,
    even before you embark on the procedure to apply
    for the course. Further, most banks have a
    maximum loan amount that is extended -- typically
    for studying in India, the maximum limit could be
    around Rs 10 lakh (this could vary from bank to
    bank and on a case-to-case basis) the maximum
    limit for studying abroad could be up to Rs 20
    lakh.
  • For loans up to Rs 4 lakh, one normally does not
    require pledging any collateral, co-obligation of
    parents / guardian would be enough. For loans
    exceeding this amount, the bank could call for 5
    per cent to 15 per cent margin for safety
    purposes. For domestic studies, the margin amount
    could be lower as compared to overseas education.

2. Fees, tenure and moratorium
  • Like any other loan, education loans too come
    with their baggage they have processing fees,
    administrative fees, documentation costs etc.
  • The tenure of education loan could range from
    three to seven years. The moratorium period or
    the gestation phase (the period wherein one need
    not pay the EMIs) is often equivalent to one year
    in addition to the course period or six months
    after getting job, whichever is earlier.

3. Interest rates and their chargeability
  • The primary factor that one should be looking at
    whilst choosing an education loan is the interest
    rate. Like other loans, here too there is the
    option of floating rate / fixed rate. Depending
    on ones outlook towards interest, one could
    choose the rate that is appropriate.
  • If one anticipates interest rates to take a
    downward turn in the coming years, then one
    should opt for the floating rate interest rate,
    on the contrary if one expects it to move up, one
    should go for the fixed rate. If the tenure is
    close to seven years, then it is highly likely
    that one would see both up-down cycles of the
    interest rates.

4. Understand pre-payment charges
  • In all likelihood, you may end up with a well
    paying job at the end of the course. You may also
    want to rid yourself of the loan liability that
    you are now required to lug around with. Most of
    the other loans have a pre-payment penalty clause
    built in (recently waived off in case of home
    loans) and one should diligently check regarding
    this clause.

5. Documentation and eligibility of individual
  • Alongside a duly filled application, the bank
    would call for the following documents passport
    size photos, address proof, age proof, copy of
    the mark sheets of the qualifying examination,
    course admission letter, course fee which is
    shown in prospectus and guardian's / parents'
    income proof.
  • An individual planning to borrow should be an
    Indian national, between 16 to 26 years age. The
    co-obligator in the loan should have a steady
    source of income and the ability to repay in case
    of default from the primary party (the student in
    this case) and the course should be recognized by
    the Government.
  • Choosing an Best education loan could be a tricky
    affair, it would do some good to do your homework
    and also check with the educational institutions,
    if they have any tie-ups, because this could in
    the least help one to reduce paperwork
    significantly.
