<p>Ok guys, can someone convince me if it’s possible to repay a 16,500 loan ($21k = Rs 9.1 lac) in 7 years at 7.75% interest? If yes, how?</p>
<p>prashant, wen does the repayment time start…is it like once you have finished graduating then the 7 yrs start and also is the loan interest free during your study period?and how long is your study period as in the course?</p>
<p>Ok, the repayment starts 3 months after I’ve graduated.
Interest is calculated even while I’m studying.
Study period is 3 years.
I will have to start repayment even if I go on to graduate studies.</p>
<p>merc- will the interest be compounded or is it simple? (im guessing its compounded, it usually is) but just clarifying…</p>
<p>i think it may be simple for the course duration, compounded later…</p>
<p>you can repay it comfortably (i think) if you ditch grad school and take up a 9-5 job in an IT company or something like that…</p>
<p>EDIT : althiugh its called a 9-5 job, be prepared for over 12 hrs a day…</p>
<p>I think compounded.
I’m worried about grad school 
Have to convice dad actually. Anyway…</p>
<p>well…the thign is u got to bunk grad skool for about 3yrs…and work n repay n then get bak to studies again…thats the only way…but plz do verify how godo the job market is after the 3yrs corse from the respective college…coz 614euros per month is abig deal if job isnt good enuff!!</p>
<p>Hey guys I needed some info regarding the apps fee waiver.
Look most colleges do sound pretty cool with it but are they really down with it easily or can it have a negative effect on one’s application.</p>
<p>vampiro - no effect I guess.</p>
<p>doesnt matter</p>
