General Guidelines for Loan & Easy EMI Financing Facilities

Students can avail the Education Loan Facility in the first year as well as in subsequent years of their programme. Students shall be issued the fee structure, loan letter, or other required documents only after completion of their provisional admission formalities. These documents enable students to initiate the loan process with the respective bank or NBFC, as deemed appropriate. Students and their parents/guardians shall be personally responsible for the sanction, repayment of the loan, and all liabilities and consequences arising thereof. The University will not be liable and responsible in this regard. The University does not guarantee loan approval, interest rates, or terms, which shall be solely governed by the policies of the respective bank or NBFC.

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."

The judgment of the Supreme Court of India cited above 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 violation of aforesaid judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India and may tantamount to contempt of Court.
