Your college is on the PM Vidyalaxmi list

Any course qualifies. Apply under PM Vidyalaxmi at the rate set for your college, between 7.1% and 8.85%.

How PM Vidyalaxmi works

Not on the list: master's courses

  • Private banks: some charge simple interest during the course, others only part of it.
  • NBFCs: part of the simple interest, the full simple interest, or a full moratorium where you pay nothing until the course ends.
  • The terms mostly depend on how your university is ranked.

The MBA Loan Guide

Everything about Master of Business Administration financing

An MBA is the most expensive professional degree in India after MBBS. Fees at top schools have crossed ₹30 Lakhs, and 1-year ISB programs are ₹38.5 Lakhs. The good news: MBA students enjoy the most favourable loan terms of any course in India because lenders trust the post-MBA salary trajectory. Top IIM/ISB grads routinely pay off their full loan within 2-3 years of starting work, making MBA financing among the safest bets in the lending ecosystem.

MBA Education Loan: FAQs

Common questions Indian students ask about MBA loans

Up to ₹50 Lakhs for IIMs, ISB, XLRI, FMS, MDI, SPJIMR. SBI Scholar Loan offers ₹40 L unsecured at 7.15% (lowest rate). ICICI offers ₹50 L unsecured at 9.85%. For ISB (₹38.5 L tuition + living = ~₹50 L needed), most students go with ICICI or Credila. For 2-year IIM programs, ₹25-30 L is typical.
Yes. For top MBA schools (IIM A/B/C, ISB, XLRI, FMS, MDI, SPJIMR, NMIMS, IIFT), all major lenders offer unsecured loans up to ₹50 Lakhs. SBI Scholar Loan, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Credila, all without collateral. Just need a strong co-applicant (CIBIL 700+) and admission letter.
For lowest rate: SBI Scholar Loan at 7.15% (collateral-free, 15-25 day processing). For fastest approval: Credila (5-8 days, 10.50%). For balanced: ICICI Bank (7-14 days, 9.85%). Best MBA-specific product: Axis Bank with 12-month post-course moratorium. Most IIM students go with SBI for cost or ICICI for speed.
INSEAD total program cost: ~₹95 L (tuition ₹70-85 L + living + travel). HEC Paris: ~₹78 L. For these, Credila (up to ₹1.5 Cr unsecured), SBI Global Ed-Vantage (up to ₹50 L unsecured + collateral for rest), or Prodigy Finance (USD loan, no Indian co-signer) are the main options. Top MBA grads from these schools earn €100K-€180K starting, loan repayment is comfortable.
Yes. ISB PGPpro, IIM Executive MBAs (IIM-A PGPX, IIM-B EPGP, IIM-C MBAEx), XLRI Executive MBA are all funded. Most lenders waive the co-applicant requirement for Executive MBA students because the applicant already has stable income. ICICI, Axis, Credila offer up to ₹40 L unsecured for executive programs.
Standard tenure: 10 years post-moratorium. But most IIM/ISB grads with ₹25-30 L loans pay off within 3-5 years by aggressive prepayment (no penalty after 12 months). A typical IIM A/B/C graduate earns ₹2.5-3L/month post-tax in year 1. Setting aside ₹50-80K/month for loan repayment is comfortable. For ₹40-50 L loans (premium MBAs), 5-7 year payoff is realistic.
Yes. Section 80E income tax deduction applies to interest paid on education loans for up to 8 years from when you start repaying. For MBA grads in the 30% tax bracket earning ₹25L+/year, this typically saves ₹50,000-1,50,000 per year in taxes during the active repayment period. Worth claiming every year, banks issue annual interest certificates. Note: the Section 80E deduction is available only under the old tax regime.
Difficult but possible. For CIBIL 650-700 co-applicants: ICICI/Credila may approve at higher rates (12%+). For CIBIL <650: most banks decline, but Avanse and Auxilo are more flexible. Better strategies: (1) improve co-applicant's CIBIL over 3-6 months by paying down credit card debt. (2) add a second co-applicant with stronger profile. (3) offer property collateral to bypass CIBIL concerns.
