2How to get the right education loan
3- Neither a borrower nor a lender be," William
Shakespeare had written in Hamlet. Trying to go
by this today, however, seems an impossible
task.Whether it is for buying a house or a car
or pursuing higher studies, loans are common
today. With college fees increasing every year,
many have no option but to opt for education
loans. For undergraduate engineering courses, the
fees could be Rs 5-10 lakh, while for a five-year
medical course at a private college, this could
go up to Rs 50 lakh. For post-graduate courses
such as those on management, fees could be more
than Rs 10 lakh.
4Conditions for sanctioning a loan
- While sanctioning a loan, a lender will check if
a student has actually secured admission to a
course, the quality of the college and the course
(whether it is recognised by the University
Grants Commission or the All India Council for
Technical Education), if the student has the
ability to secure an appropriate job after the
course and the credit history of the co-applicant
or guarantor. In case the loan is backed by
collateral such as property (in case of
high-ticket loans), lenders also consider the
value of the property.Under education loans,
fees for tuition, examinations, library, etc, are
paid directly to colleges.
5If the loan amount is less than
- Rs 4 lakh, for instance, loans for nursing
courses, the lender doesn't seek a guarantor or
security. For loans of Rs 4 to Rs 7.5 lakh, a
third-party is guarantor is required, while for
loans exceeding Rs 7.5 lakh, lenders insist on
collateral, usually property. Defaults in
education loans affect the credit histories of
both the borrower and the co-borrower."The
guarantor has to be someone other than the
parent, with a sound financial condition. We
insist on this because we are not sure of the
student's ability to repay. There are cases of
wilful default in which a student goes abroad
after studies and does not repay the loan. In
such cases, we recover the money from the
parents. If there is collateral such as property
that has been mortgaged, we can use Sarfaesi
(Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial
Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest) Act,
2002," says a bank official.
6Interest rates
- Currently, interest on education loans is between
11.75 per cent and 14.75 per cent, depending on
the loan amount and the college concerned. For
premier institutions, lenders offer a discount of
25 basis points. Public sector banks offer a
discount of 25 basis points to female students,
says the bank official.
7Why should you take a loan?
- While a loan might not be sufficient to meet the
entire cost of an educational course, it could be
a great help. "These days, many parents decide to
let their children take education loans just to
ensure they learn financial discipline. Parents
tend to retain their savings for emergencies or
unforeseen expenses," says Bohora.Usually, it
is the first loan a student avails of and,
therefore, by repaying on time, Study loan
overseas can build good credit histories this
will be of immense help when they seek to avail
of automobile loans, home loans, credit cards,
etc. "With timely education loan repayment
histories, students have been building great
credit scores for themselves. In many cases, they
get pre-approved loans for other requirements,
based on impressive credit scores," Bohora adds. - Source http//www.business-standard.com/article/
