Important! A reality check
50%+ graduates remain unemployable after college.
Theoretical courses, teachers with no industry exp. and rote learning do not give you practical job skills for the dream job.
You need hands-on skills taught by industry experts to get what you want.
We bring you proven courses that have helped people get better offers and 50%-100% pay hikes.
The two education loans from Karnataka Bank are:
- KBL Vidya Nidhi Education Loan (for Higher Study in India and Abroad)
- Skill Loan Scheme
In addition, the bank offers one Government of India Interest Subsidy Scheme on education loans.
We give you a brief intro to education loans offered by the bank below. In addition you have the option to click further and read in detail about each loan and the interest subsidy scheme on a specific page of its own. This specific page has been made specifically for you to get all the information you need on that loan in an uncluttered and easy-to-read format.

Karnataka Bank Skill Loan Scheme
This loan helps students who have gained admission into technical courses offered by Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), polytechnics, etc. to pay for their course fees. The loan amount starts from Rs. 5,000 and can go up to Rs. 1.5 lakh depending on the duration of the course.
Important! A reality check
While there is nothing wrong with a technical course, the jobs that become available after such courses (electrician, plumber, fitter, etc.) do not pay well – even in senior roles.
Alternatively, a career in computers and IT pays much better, with senior roles earning upwards of ₹25 lakh at the very least.
All you need to start learning is a laptop – even a second-hand one that costs less than ₹10k will do.
We have curated a list of low-cost courses that can be finished in 4-7 months and lead to rewarding careers.
You can see four courses to your right (below on mobile), and view more such fast and economical courses – some with job guarantees – by clicking the ‘More Courses’ link below.
