IIMs are the ultimate destination for management education in India. They have been able to consistently attract top students from all across the country. The criteria and the sheer competition to get into these premium institutes is in itself proof of the students’ capacity to stand out from the remaining 3600+ MBA institutes in India. It’s no surprise that many global brands compete hard to attract talent from these institutes.
However, the cost of education from these premium institutes are pretty steep even for a student from a higher income household. On an average, the total fees including the hostel and Mess fee adds up to an average of 23L in the top IIM’s. That means shelling out 3-4 lakhs on fees and other associated costs every semester.
The good news is that banks are competing to offer their best, custom made credit (education loan) products and services to these premium students at IIMs. This often means offering education loans at the cheapest available rates, with no collateral requirement.
