Banks in India providing Educational Loans |
Following are some of the premier banks of India that are providing educational loans. Click on the banks to know the details.
Note:
The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in case of Civil Appeal no. 2056 of 1999 dated 24th September, 2001 titled as "Bharathidasan University and another Vs All India Council for Technical Education and others"; has held that "Running /conducting courses and programmes in technology courses by University –prior approval of the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)-is not necessary –Definition of "Technical institution" under AICTE Act does not include university. AICTE is not intended to be authority either superior to or supervise and control the universities – Regulation 4 compelling university to seek and obtain prior approval of AICTE before starting any new department or course or programme in technical education are void." Click here to view the full text of the judgment
The above said judgment of the Supreme Court of India, thus invalidates the criteria of AICTE approval prescribed by certain banks for the purpose of sanction of educational loans to the students of a University and other purposes in relation to a University. Such a requirement, hence, must be done away with.
Requisition of approval of AICTE, in case of a university, is entirely in the violation of aforesaid judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India and may tantamount, to contempt of Court.
