How It's Assessed
What Affects Your Education Loan Eligibility
ClearToLend's eligibility engine weighs four factors that lenders commonly consider for a education loan.
Income vs. Loan Amount
How your monthly income compares to the amount you're requesting, relative to typical lending multiples for this loan type.
Existing EMI Burden
Your Fixed Obligation to Income Ratio (FOIR) — how much of your income is already committed to other loans.
Credit Score Band
Your credit score range influences both the amount lenders may offer and the interest rate you're likely to get.
Employment Stability
Salaried, self-employed professional or business owner status factors into how lenders weigh income predictability.
