The
ever-increasing education costs do not deter students from achieving their
academic aspirations. Interestingly, they do not wish to use their family savings
to finance their education. Instead, they choose to finance their higher
education independently by opting for study loans. Also known as student loans,
education loans cover higher education-related expenses for studying in India
or abroad.

India, education loans are classified into three categories based on location,

Different
lending institutions cover different expenses in a study loan. Therefore, do
not forget to check with your lender about the expenses. Also, get to know the education
loan rate of interest, eligibility criteria and other aspects before applying
for it.
Repayment of education loans
The
tenure of an education loan varies from one financial institution to another, and
so does the repayment period. Usually, the repayment period starts as soon as
the course ends. The financial institutions offer a moratorium period, in which
borrowers may choose not to make any education loan EMI payment. However, it is
not an interest-free period. Therefore, Avanse Financial Services encourages
students to pay the interest either in the form of simple or partial interest during
the moratorium period to reduce the overall cost of education loans.
