ApnaLoan: Education Loan & Student Loan Rates in India

Current Education Loan Interest Rates

For several education loan applicants, the bank offers a holiday period on repayment while the student is doing the course either on the principal or on the interest or both. But the interest rate at which you borrow is certainly going to become very important as soon as your studies are over. The interest rate on an education loan depends on whether you are studying in India or abroad, the course that you are applying for, your loan amount and the tenure. Special concessions on interest rates are available if the student is a female.
