Funding you don't repay
188 schemes for study in India and abroad. Where we have confirmed the current cycle against the awarding body, the page carries the deadline, eligibility rules and document list; where we have not, it says so rather than guessing at dates a student would plan around.
Which course leads to work where?
Rather than vacancy counts that are stale the day after they are written, these pages list each government's own published shortage occupations, the post-study work visa and how long it lasts, and the job portals employers in that country actually use.
Work out the repayment before you borrow
Move the sliders to see the monthly instalment and the total interest at a given rate. The result is arithmetic on the numbers you enter — an illustration, not an offer.
Compare lenders side by side on interest rate, collateral requirement, moratorium period and processing fee — then bring those numbers here.
Repayment estimator
Illustration only. Your actual rate depends on the lender, the co-applicant's income and whether the loan is secured; most education loans also carry a moratorium during the course, which this simple calculation does not model.

Frequently asked questions
What this site does, how far the data goes, and what we cannot promise.
What is BrightEduAid?
A higher-education directory. We list 6,226 institutions across 17 countries, 23,191 courses, 188 scholarships and 12 entrance exams, alongside side-by-side comparisons of education loan products. Browsing all of it is free and needs no account.
Are the tuition fees on this site accurate?
Where a fee is shown, yes — we publish a figure only after reading it off the institution's own published fee page, and every such page links to that source so you can check it. 0 institutions have been through that check so far. The rest are listed without a fee rather than with an estimate, because an invented number is worse than no number when you are deciding how much to borrow. Always confirm on the university's page before paying or committing to a loan.
Can you guarantee a loan without collateral?
No, and neither can anyone else. Whether a loan needs security, what it costs and how much you can borrow are decided by the lender against your course, your institution and your co-applicant's income. What we do is show the published terms of each lender on our panel — interest rate, collateral requirement, moratorium period and processing fee — so you can compare them before you apply.
Which entrance exam do I need for studying abroad?
Usually two: an English test (IELTS or TOEFL) and, depending on the programme, an aptitude test (GRE for most master's courses, GMAT for MBA, SAT for undergraduate, LSAT for US law). Our exam pages list the current fee, the format, how long a score stays valid and the official booking site for each of the 12 exams we cover.
Do you charge students for using the site?
No. The directory, the fee comparisons, the scholarship and exam pages and the EMI calculator are free. Some fee breakdowns and admission details require a free account, which is how we keep automated scrapers off that data.
Is this only for students in Hyderabad or Telangana?
No. The team is based in Hyderabad, but the directory covers institutions in 17 countries and the guidance applies wherever you are applying from.
