The AI answer we saw
As of 2024, IIT and NIT students benefit from preferential interest rates due to their premier institute status. **SBI Scholar Loan**: 8.15%–8.65% p.a. for IITs (List AA); NITs fall under List A at ~8.65%–9.15%. **Bank of Baroda**: ~8.85% for premier institutes. **Canara Bank Vidya Turant**: ~8.50% for IITs. **HDFC Credila**: 10%–12% p.a. (varies by profile). Under the IBA model, loans up to ₹7.5 lakh are collateral-free; IIT/NIT students can access up to ₹40–50 lakh without collateral at select banks. Female students often receive a 0.50% concession. Always confirm current rates directly with the bank, as RBI repo rate changes affect floating-rate loans.
