It depends.

For education loans to study in Germany, loans up to ₹7.5 lakh are typically non-collateral (no security required). For amounts above ₹7.5 lakh, most banks require collateral such as property, fixed deposits, or life insurance.

Some lenders may offer higher non-collateral loan amounts for students with strong academic profiles or admission to top universities, but these usually have higher interest rates and stricter eligibility.

Your eligibility for a collateral-free loan will depend on your academic record and the German university you plan to attend.
