How the math works

Payback period

We count from the day your course starts. Your cumulative salary uplift above your India baseline must cover tuition, living costs, loan interest and fees.

Country and program averages

Starting salaries and costs are approximate market averages converted to INR. Strong schools and roles can beat them; a weak fit can fall short.

EMI and moratorium

EMI uses the standard reducing-balance formula. Interest accrues during your course plus grace period, and most lenders add it to your principal.
