Is it better to prefer abroad education loans with fixed interest rates?

Can I transfer my education loan to a different bank after getting a job post-study?

Yes, my advice would be to go for fixed interest interest rates. The floating interest rate can change and thus affect your EMIs. If you have already opted for a floating rate of interest, I would recommend you to understand interest fluctuations and plan for increment accordingly.

Yes, you will always have the option of transferring your existing education loan to a bank that offers a lower rate of interest. Once you get a job, your profile will improve and the lenders will agree on loan-takeover with a reduced interest rate.

I am planning to approve loan from Bank of Baroda. Can you tell me which will be a better option between SBI and BOB? Since ROI in BOB is 9.0 (Floating).

Even though SBI is better but nearby branch does not have any knowledge abt the loan? WIll it create the problem during disbursement?
