Considerations for Borrowing and Borrower Choice in Education Loans
Education loans for higher studies require careful planning based on genuine funding needs, family savings, income stability, and the student's earning potential. Parents should avoid borrowing the maximum amount offered and consider loan repayment capacity, protecting retirement and emergency funds. Deciding whether the loan should be in the parent's or student's name depends on lender policies, credit history, and repayment responsibility. Government schemes like PM-Vidyalaxmi offer collateral-free options, and families must weigh the benefits of each borrowing approach.
