It depends on the loan amount and lender policies.

- No collateral is usually needed for loans up to ₹7.5 lakh, but a co-applicant is required.
- Collateral (such as property, fixed deposits, or life insurance) is typically required for amounts above ₹7.5 lakh.
- Agricultural land is generally not accepted as collateral.

For study abroad, especially in Germany or the UK, education costs often exceed ₹20 lakh, so collateral is commonly required. Some lenders may offer higher collateral-free limits for students with strong academic profiles or top university admissions. Collateral requirements are subject to change and vary by lender.
