  • Loan up to ₹7.5 lakh: apply directly at a government bank. No collateral is needed. Up to ₹4 lakh you need no guarantor either, and above that the bank may ask for a third-party guarantee.
  • Loan above ₹7.5 lakh:
    • Government bank, against collateral.
    • Private bank, if your co-applicant is salaried, or self-employed with strong income proof. You pay simple interest during the course and the full EMI after.
    • NBFC, for other self-employed co-applicants. You pay the full EMI.

The MBBS Loan Guide

Everything about Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery financing

MBBS is the highest-ticket education loan category in India. Private medical college fees routinely cross ₹80 Lakhs for the 5.5-year program, and abroad MBBS in countries like USA or UK can exceed ₹2 Crore. Yet medical loans have the lowest default rate of any education loan, doctors earn well and repay reliably, which is why lenders extend the largest tickets and longest tenures here.

MBBS Education Loan: FAQs

Common questions Indian students ask about MBBS loans

Up to ₹1 Crore for MBBS in India. For AIIMS/JIPMER (govt fees ₹6,000-80,000): a ₹5-12 L loan covers living + books. For deemed universities like CMC Vellore: ₹15-50 L. For premium private medical (DY Patil, SRM, Manipal pvt): ₹50-90 L. For NRI quota or top premium private: up to ₹1.2 Cr with collateral.
Abroad MBBS is increasingly popular for students who don't crack NEET cut-offs. Total cost for 6-year program: Russia ₹25-35 L, Philippines ₹35-45 L, Georgia ₹40-55 L, Bangladesh ₹25-35 L, Kazakhstan ₹30-40 L. Indian banks/NBFCs (SBI, ICICI, Credila, Avanse) lend for NMC-approved foreign medical colleges. Up to ₹50 L unsecured typically.
For Indian medical: SBI (7.15-7.90%) for AIIMS/JIPMER seat holders. ICICI/Axis for deemed/private. Credila or Avanse for premium private (₹50L+). For abroad MBBS: SBI Global Ed-Vantage, Credila, and Avanse all have specialised products. Verify your foreign medical college is NMC-approved before applying. Non-approved colleges are not funded.
Yes. Most major lenders offer an additional 12-month moratorium after course completion for FMGE (Foreign Medical Graduate Exam) or NExT (National Exit Test) preparation for abroad MBBS graduates. This is on top of the standard 6-month grace period. So your total moratorium for abroad MBBS = 6 years course + 6 months + 12 months prep = 7.5 years.
NRI quota MBBS at top deemed universities costs ₹80 L - ₹1.5 Cr for the full program. To fund this, you need a combination of: (1) ₹75 L - 1.5 Cr unsecured from Credila or partial-collateral loans. (2) Family contribution. (3) Possibly secured loans against property for portions above ₹1 Cr. Plan very carefully before committing, verify the seat actually leads to a valid MBBS degree.
Yes, NBFCs like Credila and Avanse are more flexible than banks for informal-income co-applicants. They accept 2 years of bank statements and partial ITRs where banks demand 3 years of formal audited financials. SBI may decline informal-income files. For parents with non-salaried/agricultural income, NBFC route is more reliable.
Year 1-3 (internship + early career): ₹15K-50K/month income. Year 4-7 (post-PG residency): ₹50K-1.5L/month. Year 8+ (consultant/private practice): ₹2L-10L/month. So for a ₹50 L MBBS loan with ₹65K EMI: tough in years 1-3, manageable in years 4-7, easy thereafter. Banks design 15-year tenure precisely to match this income curve.
Yes, Section 80E income tax deduction applies to interest paid on education loans from any RBI-registered Indian lender (banks + NBFCs) for any recognised course in India or abroad, including MBBS at NMC-approved foreign medical colleges. The deduction has no upper limit and applies for up to 8 years from when you start repaying. For doctors who earn well, this is a significant tax shield. Note: the Section 80E deduction is available only under the old tax regime.
