Higher education and professional courses can be expensive—but that shouldn’t stop you from learning. Today, more and more institutes in India are offering an EMI-based fee structure to make education more accessible.
If you’re wondering what that means, here’s a simple explanation.
? What is an EMI-Based Fee Structure?
An EMI-based fee structure allows you to pay your course fee in monthly installments instead of paying the entire amount upfront.
Think of it like buying a phone or laptop on EMI—just that, in this case, it’s an investment in your education.
? How It Works
You enroll in a course (college, online program, or certification)
Instead of paying ₹50,000 or ₹1,00,000 all at once, you break it down into monthly payments
The institute may partner with banks or NBFCs to offer this service
Some even offer zero-cost EMIs, meaning you don’t pay any extra interest
