- Loans:
Bank education loans are available to most students to help cover costs of higher education, including tuition, fees, books, and living expenses. Visit a local branch in Karaikudi or in your hometown for more information and to avail a student loan. The loan is usually required to be repaid only after graduation. Seek guidance from CECRI alumni association or current B.Tech seniors who have already availed education loans for more information. Note that an education loan is usually provided by banks at a low interest. They need very few documents to approve the loan. We encourage students to seriously evaluate loans as an option.
