What all courses are eligible for getting educational Loans in India?

It seems that qualifying for your dream college is as difficult as paying your way through that college. There is no doubt that quality education in India is expensive and will continue to be so with the cost of education rising every year. Hefty student loans are the ugly truth and unfortunately one that you cannot turn your back towards, especially if like most students you also have a difficult time digesting the notion of the amount that is to be paid throughout your college time.

Although the notion is difficult to come to terms to but the sooner you start planning ahead, the better. These days the student loans are becoming more comprehensible and the government is also doing its bit by taking interest in the students well being.
