Hi Raj,

The number of Indian students going abroad mainly for pursuing higher studies is increasing day by day. Several students prefer to do higher studies from a reputed overseas college however financial condition plays a major hurdle for such students. If you can afford to pay for the foreign education then its fine but in other case you are required to obtain loan from bank to pursue your higher studies. However in case you require loan as you mentioned in the question there are several things that you need to factor when applying for the Bank loan.

Most banks offer education loan however in case when the student is going abroad for studies they demand several certificates before passing the loan.

The Banks have limit of 20 lakh that they can pay for the education loan.
Students have to pay at least 15 percent of the fee from his pocket.
In case of overseas study the collateral and the terms could be difficult. 

Collateral means that you will get loan secured by some of your property. It includes:

 

  • Fixed Deposits (FD).
  • National Savings Certificates (NSCs).
  • Insurance Policy.
  • House or Plot.

In case of overseas study you may require to have a co-borrower that could be your any family member like father, mother and elder brother.

The repayment policy varies from one bank to another. Mostly it starts with 1 year after completing the course or 6 months after you get the job, whichever happens first. You are required to repay the loan amount in 5 to 7 years. One important thing to remember is that do not forget to check the Interest Rate of the bank and how they compute the interest rate. Some of the Public Sector banks charge less interest rate and offer EMI holiday during the study period.

Second option for you is applying for the loan scholarship also known as fellowships or trust loans.

  • Aga Khan Foundation.
  • JN Tata Endowment.
  • KC Mahindra Education.
  • Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarships

These are some of the most popular trust among the students.

JN Tata Endowment which is the most popular requires you to start repaying the loan which is interest free from the fourth year of the course or the employment whichever comes first.
