Yes, banks like the State Bank of India and Canara Bank do offer loans. Due to the fact that these loans are primarily for education, you only have to pay interest at a floating rate for the duration of the course. Several other private banks also offer student loans.
After the course is over, you begin making principal payments. Also, there is a 6-month restriction on student loan payments. This means that until you complete the course plus six months after the course, neither you nor your parents or guardians are required to make payments on the loan. After the moratorium period, you must begin making monthly loan payments or risk losing your home.
I will answer your question by estimating the salary you will earn after completing MBA and comparing it with the loan you have to pay.
Loan Amount - 15 Lakhs.
Interest rate - 12%
Repayment period - 5 years
EMI - 33,367
Total Interest Paid in 5 years - 502000
Tax Saved in 5 years (considering 20% tax slab) - 100400
Net amount to be paid in 5 years - 1500000+502000–100400 = 19,01,600
Average package in TAPMI - 10.06 LPA
Monthly salary in hand - Approx 65 to 70K
From the above calculation we can infer that you will have 30000-40000 salary in hand every month which is more than enough for you to settle in any state or city in India. So taking loans for an MBA is very beneficial as it will pay you back in the long run.
You can avail these reliefs from the college/ banks to pursue your education at NIT Durgapur-
The tuition fee of NIT Durgapur is INR 62,500 per semester for B.Tech students. But if your family income is less than 1 Lakh or you belong to SC/ST category, your tuition fee will be 100% waived. If your family income is between 1 Lakh- 5 Lakh per annum, your tuition fee will be 2/3rd waived.
To get a waiver on your fee, you have to submit an income certificate from competent authorities.
You can take an educational loan from a bank. When you visit the campus during admissions, you will spot people with pamphlets of their banks. Approach them and they will guide you through the entire process. I know some people who teach tuition to local students. This is a great way of earning some money on the side.
I hope this answer helped you and provided some useful guidance.
No, I don't think ITM Mumbai is worth taking a loan. The high fees do not do justice to the meager packages received by the students. Despite recording 100% placements, the average is as low as INR 8.5 LPA. It’s better to go for an average institute with low fees. The low packages you will receive will be worth the low fees you invested.
IMT Navi Mumbai placement cell ensures placements but does not guarantee a good ROI. So the best way is to look for an institute that charges low fees and gives enough ROI. Only then it will be worth a loan.
No institute provides education loans by itself, but these institutions have banking partners who provide education loans. There is a huge number of banks that provides education loan, like SBI, Canara Bank, Bank of Baroda, and many more.
The interest rates vary according to the bank. The interest rates start from 6-7% and go up to 11-12%. Every bank has a rating system for institutes, and according to those ratings, they decide the interest rate. For IIMs, Canara Bank provides education loans at 7% per annum. IIMs are listed in category 1 for Canara Bank. Similarly, you can check your institute on its website.
Taking a student loan is always a better option. After graduating from college, Education loans help you save taxes during the job career. Go through the interest percentage at which the loan will be disbursed and take calculated steps while taking a loan.
IMT Ghaziabad offers financial assistance through various Educational loans. Many Nationalized banks have decent loan schemes for students of such prestigious B Schools.
One such Central Government scheme is the Vidhyadhanush wherein, students from IMT, MDI, IMI, Depts of IITs, and other elite B Schools are offered unsecured education loans with interest rates as low as 8.3-8.5. The maximum loan amount one can get is around 20 Lakhs. You can compare the schemes of different banks on the basis of interest rates, eligibility of your B Schools, and collateral schemes. It’s best to avail of the Central Government scheme to get the advantage of zero interest rate till the moratorium period. You can save as much as 1.5 Lakhs through this scheme.
The procedure to secure an education loan is very simple and quick. All one needs to do is study and compare various schemes and choose the best for themselves. Right after induction, many branches of banks put forward their loan schemes in front of the batches.
Every IIM is considered an Institute of National Importance and its students are therefore offered excellent educational loans without any collateral and very low-interest rates.
Moreover, a scheme in SBI - SBI Scholar Loan, offers a collateral-free loan of about 2,000,000 Rupees. Apart from this many banks readily offer loans as soon as you enter the PGP program at an IIM. This is because they are sure of the credibility of these institutes and have no doubts regarding their students. They know they are investing in people who will be paying them back tenfold. You can easily avail this benefit of being a part of a reputed institute and IIMs brand value.
You can obtain the loan quantity that you genuinely require.
You will require about Rs. 200,000 for course fees, Rs. 300,000 for lodging and food for two years, Rs. 75,000 for a laptop, and an additional Rs. 125,000 for other costs. You may be approved for a 700,000 rupee study/education loan, but you are to only take out what is necessary. For the portion of the loan that was not used, interest is not due.
The bank will send the money for course fees and other college expenses/fees online to the college, while the money for personal needs will be credited to your savings account at that specific bank.
Whether taking a loan is a wise decision or not depends on an individual's situation. For instance, you take a loan and even get a package that is enough to repay the loan but you are placed at a remote location. Then the additional expenses become a hindrance. So one cannot say with certainty if it’s worth taking a loan or not as it’s a subjective issue.
Another thing that often strikes me is that if you get an admission after taking a huge loan you are under a certain pressure to land a high-paying job. Your entire energy and efforts are focused on getting placed at a good firm rather than acquiring the essential knowledge that will improve your profile and help you in the long run. Throughout the two years, your agenda is not to learn management skills and concepts but to score better so as to get placed. With placement being the only goal, you often fail to make the best use of the available opportunities.
Once the placement season starts your desperation is at its peak. In case you don’t get placed in the initial month your mental and physical health is affected. So the pressures stemming from a single loan is long-lasting and can devalue the experience of your MBA.
So either you need to learn to survive under extreme pressure or not join IBS Hyderabad after taking a loan.
