Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I get an education loan without collateral for studying abroad?
Yes. NBFCs and private lenders in Atlanta Group's network offer unsecured education loans, often for higher amounts than public banks, based on your admission profile and co-applicant's financial standing.

2. Do I need a co-applicant?
In most cases, yes — an earning co-applicant (usually a parent or guardian) strengthens your application and is typically required for unsecured education loans, especially for higher amounts.

3. What is the maximum loan amount I can get without collateral?
Public sector banks typically cap unsecured education loans around ₹7.5 lakh, while NBFCs and private lenders may go up to ₹20–40 lakh or more depending on your profile. Atlanta Group helps you find the lender suited to your required amount.

4. When does EMI repayment start?
Most education loans include a moratorium period covering your course duration plus a grace period (commonly 6–12 months) after course completion, so repayment begins once you're employed.

5. What expenses does an education loan cover?
Tuition fees, living expenses, accommodation, travel (for study abroad), and study materials like books and laptops are typically covered.

6. Does my academic record affect loan approval?
Yes — a strong academic record and admission to a recognized institution improve your approval chances and can influence the interest rate offered.

7. What documents do I need to apply?
Admission confirmation, academic records, ID/address proof for both student and co-applicant, and the co-applicant's income proof are the standard requirements.

8. Can I get a loan for both Indian and international universities?
Yes — Atlanta Group's network includes lenders covering both domestic and international education, matched to your specific destination and course.

9. What interest rate can I expect?
Rates vary by lender, loan amount, and course/country — generally ranging in the low-to-mid double digits per annum for unsecured education loans. Your Atlanta Group advisor will share specific rates for your matched lender.

10. Can I prepay my education loan once I start earning?
Most lenders allow prepayment, often without penalty once you're past the moratorium period — a useful way to reduce total interest paid once you're employed.
