Guarantor
If your plans are to study abroad, then it is mandatory for you to have a co-applicant on your loan, who has to be a member of your immediate family. It is likely that some banks may require third-party security also. However, for amounts below 7.5 lakhs, many banks offer unsecured loans, which are without security. Over that amount, though, you may be required to submit additional security, such as a LIC policy or fixed deposit receipts for availing of the education loan.
