I have recently completed my 12th grade from a tier-3 city in Maharashtra. Coming from a lower-middle-class family, I am facing financial challenges in paying for my college education. I plan to pursue a Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) with an annual fee of ₹80,000, but my parents' income is irregular, and they do not file Income Tax Returns (ITR). Additionally, my parents do not have a CIBIL score or any collateral to offer for a loan, although my CIBIL score is 781.
I secured a 90 percentile in my entrance exam, but I am struggling to decide whether to take an education loan to continue my studies or to start working instead. While my parents have some savings, I am reluctant to use all of their resources for my education.
I have explored a few platforms like Vidyalakshmi and Jansamarth to understand my options. However, when I approached Bank of Baroda, where I have a savings account, they questioned the basis on which they could grant me a loan.
Could you please guide me on whether there are any chances of getting an education loan in my situation, or if it would be more practical to consider starting work instead?
