💡 Understanding Your ₹15 Lakh Education Loan EMI

A ₹15 Lakh education loan finances premium programs — full MBA at IIMs, M.Tech/MS at top universities, MBBS at private medical colleges, or the first year of Master's programs abroad (US/UK/Australia). At 8% over 7 years, your EMI is ₹23,379 and total interest is ₹4,63,836. This requires a post-graduation salary of ₹60,000+/month. The critical question: will your degree's ROI justify this investment within 5 years?

For abroad studies at ₹15 Lakh: (1) This often covers only 30–50% of total cost — plan for remaining funds from savings, scholarships, or part-time work. (2) Exchange rate risk: if repaying in INR from abroad earnings, a favorable exchange rate helps. (3) Many US/UK universities offer assistantships that can reduce the loan burden by ₹5–10 Lakh. (4) Moratorium for abroad: typically course duration + 1 year for job search. (5) Consider SBI Global ED-VANTAGE for abroad studies — competitive rates with branch offices in major study destinations.

For abroad studies: ₹15 Lakh is just partial funding. Apply for university assistantships/scholarships first — they can reduce your loan by ₹5–10 Lakh with zero repayment obligation.
