Education and Career Forum

Hello sir, My father is doing job in CRPF and I want to study degree course in Engineering. So, he wanted to apply for an education loan. Can I get interest free education loan? Is there any Prime Minister scholarship schemes for us?

There are various scholarship schemes available for the children of CRPF personnel, such as the Prime Minister's Scholarship Scheme for RPF/RPSF, which provides financial assistance to the wards of CRPF personnel for pursuing higher education. The scheme covers 100% tuition fee and non-refundable charges subject to a ceiling of Rs. 2.5 lakh per annum per student. Additionally, there may be other schemes available at the state or institutional level that you may be eligible for.

Regarding interest-free education loans, it depends on the specific policies and guidelines of the bank or financial institution providing the loan. Some banks may offer lower interest rates or special schemes for children of defense personnel, but it's best to check with the specific bank you plan to apply for a loan with to see what options are available.
