For example:- A Student has taken an unsecured (non-collateral)  education loan of 30 lacs at an interest rate of 12% and planned on repaying it in 10 years, then this is the repayment schedule for them.

In case you choose to repay it earlier, you can opt for any of the following Strategies:-

• Considering transferring your education loan
• Opting for shorter repayment periods (as done in the above example)
• Prepayment or a part payment

Tip:  At the time of repaying your last EMI, pay a little extra amount with that last EMI, considering that in case the branch manager might choose to close your loan the next day which might result in some additional charges. 

When you choose to process your educational loan with Wemakescholars we extend our support even after getting you the loan, we look after the post-sanction issues and make sure that you get all the help you need till you close the loan process

Both programs are aimed at certain populations and provide essential assistance with their education.
