INTRODUCTION
Knowledge and information would be the driving force for economic growth in the coming
years. The current rate of economic growth of the country demands technically and
professionally trained man power in large numbers. In this backdrop, loans for education are
seen as investments for economic development and prosperity. The model Education Loan
Scheme was developed by the Indian Banks’ Association to help meritorious students pursue
higher education in technical and professional courses. As the focus is on development of
human capital, repayment of the loan is expected to come from future earnings of the student
after completion of education. Hence the assessment of the loan will be based on
employability and earning potential of the student upon completion of the course and not the
parental income/family wealth.
Based on recommendations made by a Study Group, IBA had prepared a Model Educational
Loan Scheme in the year 2001 which was advised to banks for implementation by Reserve
Bank of India videos circular No.RPCD.PLNFS.BC.NO.83/06.12.05/2000-01 dated April 28,
2001 along with certain modifications suggested by the Government of India. In line with the
announcement made by the Humble Finance Minister in his Budget Speech for the year
2004-05, IBA had communicated certain changes in the security norms applicable to
education loans with limits above `.4 laths and up to `.7.5 laths. The scheme was further
modified in the year 2007-08 based on experience gained in the operation of the scheme over
the years.

With increased public awareness about the benefits of the education loan scheme, bank
branches are receiving more and more applications for loans every year. This has also
resulted in cases of customer grievances due to misinterpretation of the provisions of the
scheme. This review exercise has been taken up to make the scheme more transparent and
minimise scope for multiple interpretations leading to disputes.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:
Student eligibility:
The student should be an Indian National
Should have secured admission to a higher education course in recognized institutions
in India or Abroad through Entrance Test/ Merit Based Selection process after

purely based on marks obtained in qualifying examination may not be the criterion for
admission to some of the post graduate courses or research programmes. In such
cases, banks will have to adopt appropriate criteria based on employability and
reputation of the institution concerned.

Education Loan: Education loans/Student loans are easily available from many banks and
financial institution facilitating many students to pay for their higher education.
Special education generally refers to students who are differently-abled. However, it can also
refer to students who require special education needs in other ways. For example, students
with emotional difficulties that make it difficult to study may qualify for certain types of
special education grants and loans. Students who are not able to attend regular classes for a
specific reason may also qualify for special education loans and special consideration when
pursuing a college degree. If, for example, you are hospitalized, you may qualify for special
aid. Special education grants exist from a number of sources. These types of aid do not have
to be paid back but allow students to pay for their education.
Grants for special education should be sought out earnestly by those were qualified for them.
When it comes to grants, special-education students do qualify for both regular grants and
special education grants. Students will want to apply for both types of grants to ensure that
they get the funding they need.
If you have a condition that prevents you from attending classes or taking part in degree
programs regularly — for example, you are differently-abled or seriously ill and cannot leave
the hospital room — then special grants and loans exist to help you pay for education.
Students with special needs often find that they require extra money for school. They may
require Braille translated textbooks, for example, or they may require special computer
equipment that allows them to study. Grants designed especially for special-education hope
to address these additional costs for students while at the same time encouraging students
with different abilities to apply for degree program.
14 | P a g e
Criteria for Special-Education Scholarship, Grant, or Loan:
If you have trouble with school because of the physical, emotional, or mental challenge, then
chances are pretty good that there are financial aid options available for you. Some types of
special-education scholarships or grants are designed for people with specific types of
challenges. Others are simply earmarked for anyone who faces special challenges when
pursuing an education.
Depending on the grants or scholarships to apply for, you may find that you require
additional application materials. Often, you will need to provide a doctor’s note or some other
confirmation of your condition. You’ll often also be asked to describe how your condition
affects your ability to function.
If you have special needs when it comes to education, there are many places that you can turn
to for financial aid:
If you require additional money because of special needs, special-education borrowing can
help you make up the difference between your needs and your financial aid package. Federal
student loan programs as well as private lenders will be able to lend you money that you can
use toward your schooling. Once you finish your schooling or no longer enrolled, you will
need to pay back your debt — with interest.

Distance Education Loans
Distance education is more popular than ever today. It allows students to study remotely,
without having to attend classes at a university. This allows students from all walks of life to
pursue a college education without disrupting their family or work life. While there is no
doubt that distance education makes education more accessible to many, students often find
that they require distance education loans in order to pay for their remote education. Distance
learning education loans are more available than ever before. Students can now turn to a
number of sources in order to get the money they need to succeed in school.
Alternative education loans are also known as private education loans. These loans are simply
amounts of money lent by private lenders. They may be offered by banks, private companies,
or other financial institutions or persons. The loans are attractive to distance education
students because they are so flexible. You do not need to be a full-time student, in many
cases, to qualify for some form of loan. You often do not need to be a United States citizen in
order to apply for such loan. You can also apply this type of education loan to any school you
attend.
You should consider private loans from financial institutions. Student loans from financial
institutions are very flexible, have competitive rates, and can be used for a wide variety of
school related expenses.
Bank Loans
If you’re looking for online distance education loans, you may wish to seek out traditional
loans as well. Traditional lines of credit, credit cards, personal loans, and other types of loans
can provide a good alternative to distance education loans. These loans can help you pay off
your education, and do not require an extensive application process. As long as your credit is
decent, you can get approved with competitive interest rates. Of course, you will need to start
repaying your loan right away. However, since many people pursuing distance education
16 | P a g e
work full time as well, this is rarely a problem. An advantage of this type of loan is that it
does not leave the student with a large debt after graduation. Plus, since many people
pursuing distance education do so one course at a time, it is possible to get out one or two
small loans in order to pay for education. In many cases, students find that this is enough.
Some employers offer their employees financial assistance in order to go to school. Often,
this is because extra education can make an employee more productive and more valuable to
the workplace. Some employers are willing to offer private loans, or offer loans based on
employers retirement contributions, in order to allow the employee to attend distance
education courses.
NOW we have all the options in front of you to make the educational journey backed by
proper financial assistance if you need any.

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
It is a small research, which may be insufficient to give the real picture scope of the
retail loans in India.
The research is based on observation and data collected from the internet and also
direct interview of bankers.
The method of result is also limited to the reliability of method of investigations,
measurement and analysis of data.
People were not interested in replying to the interview properly.
Loan scheme has been revised very soon. So the study is effective till December,
2012.
Education loan is provided for some special customers. It is not possible for every
customer to get educational loans.
All the suggestions are up to my knowledge and the study conducted by me by
visiting various websites, research papers and direct interview to banks.
74 | P a g e
SUGGESTION AND RECOMMANDATION
Interest rate, procession fees, tenure, security and margin money all these are
important in all kind of education loan. So bank should revise all above keeping in
view of other bank. Bank should appoint some marketing executive for this purpose
who can give information of market and other banks, revision of loan timely so that
the bank can revise it very soon.
Limit of the loan amount of all retail loans should keep increasing keeping in view of
private sector banks and other nationalized banks.
One of the major strengths of Bank is timely processing of loan application. So, it
must keep on processing the loan application as soon s possible.
In education loan, CBI is major competitor of SBI in the northern part of India.
Bank must adopt new methodology for recovering balance.
Bank needs to identify and select the sector in which the funds are invested in large
and long time period such as Education loan.
