PNB Saraswati Education Loan
Merit-based students admitted to premier Indian institutions (IITs, IIMs, NIFT, NID, IISc) who want rock-bottom PSU rates and don't mind the paperwork.
PNB's Saraswati scheme offers some of the lowest education loan rates in India at 6.85% p.a. for premier institutes. The 0.50% concession for female students and nil processing fees are genuine advantages. However, the scheme is heavily focused on merit-based admissions and may not suit students at non-premier institutions.
