Hey, everyone. Has anyone received any updates from Prodigy Finance regarding their application? It seems like my application status has been moved from uploading documents to matching stage. Anyone else had similar change in status?

Prodigy declined my application, saying thanks to their software and as responsible lender they thought I will have financial problems if I take this loan.
The declination response was hilarious, I had a good laugh after seeing that.

I got a similar response and initially, I thought it was owing to oversight, so applied again.
Next time also I got the same message.

Prodigy is trying to hint that taking a loan for an MBA in 2021 is not the smartest thing to do - at least for some of us!

Believe some cool data analytics tool is at play here. :)

I have requested deferral at Notre Dame considering the Covid situation i.e. the risk of catching the virus during the travel itself & the nonavailability of loans in USD.

Waiting for an update from Mpower btw.

Hey,

Apart from Prodigy, there are several lenders that you can opt for. Here is a brief information about all of them.

There are 2 types of education loans that you can go for i.e. secured education loan and unsecured education loans.

A few secured loan options are as follows -

    1. SBI - they can provide you with up to 1.5 Cr INR loan with an interest rate starting at 11.15%. The processing fee for the same is 11,800 INR including GST.

    2. UBI - they can also provide you with an education loan with up to 1.5 Cr INR with an interest rate starting at 10%. They charge a processing fee of 5,000 INR which is refundable in case you take disbursement within 3 months of loan approval.

Please Note - For both the cases above, collateral will be required.

Options for getting an unsecured education loan i.e. loan without collateral are shown below -
LenderMaximum Loan AmountRate of Interest
Axis BankUp to 50 Lakhs INR11% - 13.50%
ICICI BankUp to 50 Lakhs INR10.85% - 12.50%
IDFC FIRST BankUp to 50 Lakhs INR11.50% - 13.25%
HDFC CredilaUp to 65 Lakhs INR11.25% - 13%
AuxiloUp to 65 Lakhs INR11.25% - 13%
IncredUp to 60 Lakhs INR12.25% - 14%
AvanseUp to 75 Lakhs INR12.50% - 13.50%
MPOWER FinancingUp to 100,000 USD12.99%


Absolutely, the decision ultimately boils down to your individual preferences and requirements. In case you have collateral then you can go for a secured education loan with a public sector bank. In case you do not want to pledge collateral then you should go for unsecured loans from private banks or NBFCs but ensure to have a good financial co-applicant. In case you do not have a financial co-applicant then you may go for international lenders.

To streamline your education loan process, you can proactively check your eligibility through platforms like GyanDhan, India's first and largest education financing marketplace. We specialize in helping students fulfill their dreams of studying abroad, and our services are free.
