A student personal loan is a type of personal loan specifically designed for students to help pay for education-related expenses such as tuition, books, or living costs.
To be eligible for an education loan in India, you must meet certain criteria, such as having a good academic record and a secure source of income. Additionally, you will need to provide the required documents when applying for a personal loan for students.
Students who have secured at least 50% marks in their board examinations and graduation courses are eligible for a personal loan for higher education. Additionally, they must be Indian residents, and the course they have picked for further studies should be approved by UGC, Government, or AICTE. Most importantly, students should not have any outstanding education loans to clear.
No, a personal loan for a student does not require a co-applicant. However, if you are an unemployed student, then Piramal Finance will insist on having a guarantor or co-applicant in the personal loan agreement. This co-applicant or guarantor can be your parents, guardians, or other relatives who will be liable for the loan repayment in case you are unable to do so.
Piramal Finance provides personal loans up to Rs. 10 lakhs to students. The actual personal loan amount is subject to our internal policy and credit assessment of the applicant, which includes income proof, repayment capacity analysis, CIBIL score, and other personal details.
A personal loan guarantor can be any of your family members or close friends who are willing to take on the responsibility of repaying the personal loan in case you default on it. The person should have a good credit score and income proof to be accepted as a personal loan guarantor by Piramal Finance.
Yes, personal loans for students do not require any security. Most personal education loans are unsecured, which means that you don't need to provide collateral or security to get approved for the loan. However, Piramal Finance may ask for a guarantor in certain cases.
Before taking a student loan for abroad studies, you should carefully evaluate your personal financial situation and choose a course and college that suits your budget. You should also consider the estimated cost of living in the country where you plan to study before applying for a study loan. It is important to remember that personal loans are not designed for long-term financing, so it’s better to financially prepare yourself as much as possible before taking on any personal debt.
