Keeping in my the poll results, we are organizing a webinar on 3rd April, 6:00 PM where we will answer:
In this webinar we will talk about:

  • How is the overall episode of Covid-19 going to affect the abroad education loan industry?

  • Will the interest rate increase, given the speculation of a recession which will increase the risks for the lenders?

  • What will happen to your already sanctioned/approved loans? If you have paid PF, what will happen to it?

  • Which lenders would be the best choice to avail financing from in the current scenario?

  • INR vs USD, which loan to be preferred?

  • If you do the first-semester online, how will the money be disbursed as the visa is the pre-requisite for disbursement especially in banks?

In case you missed the session, here is the recording:

Hi Team,

I am planning for MBA in Canada and my course is starting in September 2020.

Considering the situation of world economy can I still get 50+ lakhs of loan from an Indian public sector bank or NBFC as they will access all the risks in these difficult situations before sanctioning the loan.

Thanks,
Shashank

Shall we really join spring semester since it will prohibit us from doing summer internship. Also if we take the fall2020 online, we are again prohibited. So shall we go for fall2021 if the college offers only deferral or online as medium?
