The average tenure for a Study loan is between 10-15 years after completion of course at Chandigarh University

ROI is depending upon the loan amount required and scheme offered by the bank for the Chandigarh University Students. Also, It varies bank to bank as per RBI Guidelines at the time sanctioning of study loan.

There is no best bank to avail a study loan. In India there are a number of banks both public and private sector from which you can avail an study loan. There are also dedicated NBFCs from which you can avail study loan.

You should be 18 years of age to avail a study loan or your parents can take the loan in their name. Banks might set an upper age limit of 35 years and no study loan is given if you are above this age. In Case of Minor one of the parents act as guardian.

Students should be an Indian National & have secured admission on merit basis through entrance test or selection process of Chandigarh University mentioned in the prospectus.

The applicant’s annual family income and the course pursued are primary determinants for the applicable loan amount.

The requirement of collateral varies from one bank to another; however, the following is generally the thumb rule:

• For loans up to Rs. 7.5 lakh – Collateral is not needed.
• For loans above Rs. 7.5 lakh – Collateral is required. Some of the key types of collateral accepted by banks include LIC/NSC/KVP, Fixed Deposit held with the lender, property documents owned by the applicant or co-signor.

Rs. 50000/- by maximum Banks

A majority of students applying for a Study loan do not have previous credit history such as other loans or credit cards. Thus, Study loan specialized lenders have a specialized credit scoring model that scores Study loan application based on the University, College and the Course of admission. They factor the academic background of the student as well as the credit history of the co-borrower into their decision.

EMI stands for Equated Monthly Instalments. This instalment comprises both principal and interest components. Your EMI would be calculated depending on the tenor you choose, to repay your loan. The EMI would be higher if you choose to repay within a shorter period as against a longer-term loan. A shorter repayment period, however, reduces your interest cost over the term of the loan. Add EMI Calculator Link https://www.jansamarth.in/checkEligibility

The repayment would begin one year after the course period or six months after you get a job, whichever is earlier. You are expected to pay a minimum amount equivalent to the EMI on a monthly basis. However, you can choose to pay more than the EMI, and we do not charge any prepayment penalty.

Yes, for all full-time courses a co applicant is required. The co-applicant can be Parent/Guardian or Spouse (if-married).

Your parents/ guardian can be a co-borrower as well as spouse in case of a married applicant. The co-borrower should have a steady source of income and a good credit history in order to improve the applicant’s chances of a successful loan application.

The Maximum Limit depends upon Academic Fee +Hostel Fee/Transport Fee Books Stationary Re-equipment Fee as per Mentioned in the Prospectus or asked by the institution.

The Maximum Limit depends upon Academic Fee +Hostel Fee/Transport Fee Books Stationary Re-equipment Fee as per Mentioned in the Prospectus or asked by the instiMost Study loan providers do not charge a margin on Study loans equal to or less than Rs. 4 lakhs. For higher loan amounts of up to 7.5 lakhs, banks and NBFCs have a margin of around 5-10% i.e., they provide loan amount equal to 95% of the course cost and the rest must be borne by the applicant. In case of higher loan amounts, the lender may decide to set margins on a case-by-case basis according to internal policies. (For More Details read instruction mentioned in Tie Up Letters).

The academic fee, transport fee and hostel fees are disbursed directly to the institute as per their schedule and fee structure usually in the form of a draft. Other components of the loan such as course-related expenses for lab equipment, laptop computer, uniform, travel expenses etc. may be claimed by and provided to the loan applicant.

Some banks perform independent verification of the employment records of the loan consigner, which typically include parent/guardian or spouse (if married) of the student who is applying for the Study loan. In case the details provided cannot be verified, the loan application may be rejected by the prospective lender.

Each student is given some time by the bank before the repayment tenure starts. This is the time granted by the lender before the repayment begins is referred to as the holiday period. It is usually either 6 months to 1 year after the successful completion of the course, or the time it takes the borrower to start working at a job, whichever is earlier. If there is a break in the course or the borrower chooses a sabbatical, it is entirely up to lending bank’s discretion on whether to add a few months to the holiday period.

The outstanding interest for the moratorium period will be added to the loan amount at the time of commencement of the repayment. The EMI will be determined on this amount at the time the repayment is to commence.

Loan borrowers can avail tax benefits on interest paid on Study loan under Sec 80E of the Income Tax Act. This benefit is available over and above the Rs. 150,000 deductions allowed under Section 80C. Tax benefits can be availed once the borrower starts paying the interest on the Study loan. Further, the deduction is available until the borrower pays off the full interest amount on the loan or for a maximum period of 8 years, whichever is earlier.

Most banks do not levy prepayment penalty on Study loan. However, it is best to check with the bank before signing the dotted line.

Earlier, having an account in the bank from where the borrower was hoping to get a loan used to be an important criterion. Now it is no longer a mandatory requirement. If you have an account with the bank, it usually becomes easier to get the loan sanctioned. This is because of your prior relationship with the bank, your past financial records and transactions can be analysed faster to decide.

Yes, this is possible. You can borrow a loan for a bachelor’s degree followed by one for master’s without repaying the first loan. This loan can be taken as a top-up loan against the already existing loan; however, it is subject to the lending bank’s discretion and the internal rules and regulations of the lender.

Banks generally provide a 0.5% concession on the applicable Study loan interest rate to girl students pursuing higher Study in India and abroad.

NIL

The loan amount will be disbursed in stages directly to the Chandigarh University

Study loan that doesn’t ask the borrower to pledge security is called an unsecured loan. Such education loans that need a guarantee in the form of collateral from the borrower (or co-applicant) are called secured loans. They have lower interest rates and are easier to get since the risk to the bank is much lower.

• A lender may also reject a collateral-free education loan if the CIBIL score of the co-applicant is weak.
• Incomplete paperwork, especially on the collateral, raises the chances of your loan being declined.
• If the student’s past academic performance has been poor, an unsecured student loan is harder to get. 
• In case the co-signer is already shelling out other EMI’s, the chances of refusal increase further.

1–3-year gap in study period will not be an obstacle. What is required is that you should qualify for taking admission in Chandigarh University as per admission eligibility criteria.

Yes, You can avail study loan from banks who have tie up with Chandigarh University (See Bank Tie up List at website).

(Note: Applicant/Co Applicant must have to fulfil digital study loan criteria as per bank norms and requirement)

• If you pay back the interest on the study loan in the moratorium period, you get a discount (cut) on the interest rates by 1% in this period.
• So we would ask you to gain knowledge and then visit two three bank to compare their term and conditions and then choose the best one.

One of the major objectives of the Government is to ensure that no student is denied the opportunity to pursue higher education because he or she is poor. To achieve this objective, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) launched a Scheme titled "Central Sector Interest Subsidy Scheme" (CSIS) in 2009. The scheme provides full interest subsidy during the moratorium period on modern education loans without any collateral security and third-party guarantee, for pursuing technical/professional courses in India. Students whose annual gross parental/ family income is up to Rs.4.5 lakhs are eligible under the scheme. The existing Scheme has been modified with the approval of the Cabinet on March 28th, 2018.

The Scheme is adopted by all Scheduled Banks and is linked with the existing Model Educational Loan scheme of the Indian Banks' Association, and restricted to students enrolled in professional/ technical courses only from NAAC accredited Institutions or professional/ technical programs accredited by NBA or Institutions of National Importance or Central Funded Technical Institutions (CFTIs). Those Professional Institutions/programs, which do not come under the ambit of NAAC or NBA, would require approval of the respective regulatory body viz, approval of Medical Council of India for Medical courses, Nursing Council of India for Nursing courses, Bar Council of India for Law etc. The scheme is applicable to students belonging to Economically Weaker Sections, i.e. students whose annual gross parental income is up to Rs.4.5 lakhs. Subsidy is admissible only once either for undergraduate or post graduate or integrated course. Under the scheme, education Ioan is provided without any collateral security and third-party guarantee and for a maximum amount of Rs. 7.5 lakhs.
