All you need to know about IDFC First bank education loan for studying abroad
IDFC FIRST Bank offers you meticulously designed education loans for overseas studies to support you with every step. From assisting with your loan application to ensuring smooth disbursement, GyanDhan, and IDFC Bank partnership are committed to making the admission process hassle-free by providing expert guidance throughout your journey.
The loan application process is primarily online with hassle-free education financing fulfilled at your doorstep. However, in some cases, the applicant may need to visit the bank to submit documents and complete the final signing in person. IDFC Bank's abroad education loan stands out from other private banks because it focuses more on the applicant's academic performance rather than the co-applicant's credentials. Additionally, IDFC Bank has created a list of universities and colleges for countries like the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Netherlands, France, and more. These institutions are divided into three categories, with over 30,000 courses across 4,000+ universities being eligible.
Platinum > Titanium > Gold
This classification depends on the college/course or GRE Score in the US and courses/college only in Canada and other countries. In some cases, this classification can be dependent on the applicant’s GRE score as well. Some general features of IDFC Bank abroad education loans are listed in the table below.
