What expenses does an education loan cover?

A personal loan for higher education in India can help you cover your fees at any stage of your career. If you want to pursue a bachelor’s degree for 3 to 4 years, you can avail yourself of undergraduate loans. Similarly, there are postgraduate loans for 2-year long postgraduate degree courses, such as MTech and MBA.

Further, if you’re a working professional looking to add more skills by taking certification courses, you can also take a career development loan.

Apart from the fees of the course itself, education loans also cover the following:

  • Exam fee, library fee, and laboratory access fee
  • Insurance premium, if applicable.
  • Any caution fee or refundable deposits are also covered. The total of these expenses, however, should not exceed 10% of your loan amount.
