Choosing a lender
Which lender gives the lowest interest rate?
Public sector banks such as Punjab National Bank and Union Bank of India start lowest, but usually need collateral. Your expert compares offers for your profile.
Which lenders give the highest collateral-free loans?
ICICI Bank, Avanse, Poonawalla Fincorp and Edgro offer collateral-free loans up to ₹1 crore, subject to eligibility.
Can I get a loan without a co-applicant?
International lenders such as MPOWER Financing and Prodigy Finance lend without a co-signer, for eligible universities.
Bank or NBFC: which is better?
Banks often have lower rates but stricter collateral rules. NBFCs are usually faster and more flexible on collateral. Many students apply to both.
