Quick answer
Is SBI a good choice for an education loan for Germany?
Low secured rates and very high limits, but slower and collateral-heavy. SBI lends for Germany: above ₹7.5 lakh up to ₹3 crore under Global Ed-Vantage, as published on SBI's scheme page. A typical Germany master's on our data (Frankfurt UAS, ₹29 lakh – ₹31 lakh) needs about ₹24 lakh; at 10.5% over 10 years the EMI is about ₹32,384 a month.
