Some Interesting Recent Trends Highlighting Women’s Progress in Recent Times
- More number of women have been seen pursuing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) courses in the last decade. Traditionally male-dominated domains are now witnessing a growing presence of women making their mark in these areas.
- Research reports highlight that in India, in the last decade, women’s enrolment in higher educational institutions has increased by ~38.4%. This showcases their progression and improved access to education.
- There has been a significant rise in the number of Indian women pursuing education abroad. This can be attributed to cultural influences and personal ambitions to reach newer heights in life. Over the years, more number of women have been applying to study abroad, and the need for education loans among female applicants has also grown.

Benefits of an Education Loan for Women
Atmanirbhar
When you opt for a women’s student loan, you don’t have to depend on your parents or anyone else. This enables you to pursue your academic aspirations independently. An education loan is a great tool to access knowledge, develop your skills and invest in your future.
Do Not Settle
When a lack of funds is the only thing standing between you and your dream university, student loans can bridge that gap. You have the right to quality education. With hyper-personalised student loans, you can access rigorous academic courses and apply to universities in India or abroad. Do not compromise!
Save the Savings
Parents work really hard to save money for unseen contingencies. Utilising family savings can leave you with little to no financial security during emergencies. Instead of using this moolah, which is set aside for a rainy day or liquidating your assets, you can opt for an education loan for women and let the savings be savings.
Credit Score
As a student, you are at that juncture in your life where, eventually, you will require financial products such as a home loan, car loan, or credit card. A healthy credit score is a prerequisite to access such options.
By repaying your education loan, you build a healthy credit score, which enhances your overall creditworthiness among financial institutions. A good credit score can unlock several benefits when you opt for other financial solutions in the later part of your life.
