Quick answer

Is PNB a good choice for an education loan for the USA?

Wide branch network and public-bank rates; margin money applies. PNB lends for the USA: need-based finance, subject to margin, as published for PNB Udaan. A typical USA master's on our data (UF, ₹91 lakh – ₹1.06 crore) needs about ₹79 lakh; at 10.5% over 10 years the EMI is about ₹1,06,599 a month.
