Education Loan: the complete guide
An education loan helps cover tuition fees, living costs, coaching, certification courses and overseas study. MahadevX compares secured and unsecured education-finance options so you choose the lowest effective cost.
What you can use it for
- For school, college, professional courses and study abroad
- Covers tuition, living costs, equipment and travel
- Compare moratorium and repayment terms across lenders
- Guidance on co-applicant and collateral requirements
How to get the best rate
Your rate depends mainly on income stability and CIBIL score. Keep your score healthy, avoid applying to many banks directly (each is a hard inquiry), and let MahadevX compare 25+ lenders in a single inquiry. Clean, complete documentation speeds approval and improves the offer.
Mistakes to avoid
- Borrowing more than your budget allows — keep total EMIs under about 40% of monthly income.
- Ignoring the processing fee and prepayment/foreclosure terms.
- Applying to many banks directly and hurting your CIBIL for months.
Documents to keep ready
Typically: admission/offer letter, fee structure, KYC of student and co-applicant, income proof of co-applicant, and academic records. We send a checklist matched to your course and lender.

Education Loan — FAQs
Does an education loan cover study abroad?
Yes — overseas tuition, living expenses and travel can be financed. Terms vary by destination and course; we compare lenders active in that segment.
Is a co-applicant always required?
For most education loans a parent or guardian co-applicant is required. We confirm the exact requirement for your chosen lender before you apply.
When does repayment start?
Many education loans offer a moratorium during the course plus a grace period. We highlight the most flexible moratorium options when comparing offers.
What is the interest rate?
Rates are indicative and typically 10% – 20% p.a. (composite range across PSU banks, private banks and NBFCs); your exact rate is set by the lender based on income, CIBIL and profile. MahadevX puts qualifying offers side by side so you pick the lowest.
How much can I borrow?
Typically Rs 50,000 to Rs 40 lakh depending on income, CIBIL and existing EMIs. We compute your eligibility across 25+ lenders before any hard inquiry.
How long does approval take?
Most disbursals close within 48 working hours of complete documentation.
What documents are needed?
Usually PAN, Aadhaar, income proof and a recent bank statement. Your advisor sends a checklist matched to your profile.
Will applying hurt my CIBIL?
No. One application with MahadevX is one inquiry, even though we compare 25+ lenders. Applying to many banks directly creates multiple hard inquiries.
Can I foreclose or prepay early?
Yes. Most lenders allow foreclosure after a few EMIs; charges vary by lender. We flag the most prepayment-friendly options.
Is a co-applicant required?
Not usually for an unsecured personal loan, but adding one can improve eligibility and the offered rate.
Are there any charges I pay to MahadevX?
No. Borrowers pay MahadevX nothing — our commission is paid by the lender after your loan disburses. The lender's processing fee may still apply.
