FAQ

After the moratorium — course duration plus 6 to 12 months. Interest accrues during study; paying simple interest through the moratorium reduces your later EMI.

Every row is date-stamped with the day we last checked it, and links to the lender’s published material so you can confirm it yourself. A row we confirmed against the source reads “Verified”; one we could only sight reads “as of”, and is not presented as confirmed. Anything we have not re-checked in 60 days is marked “rate under review” rather than left to look current. We do not claim a fixed re-checking cycle — the date on each row is the honest answer.

No. Viewing rates is not a credit enquiry and has no score impact. A hard enquiry happens only when you formally apply to a lender.
