If you already have a personal loan and are wondering, “Can I get education loan if I have personal loan?” The answer is: yes, you can, but success depends on how lenders view your overall credit and repayment capacity.

  • Having a personal loan means you already have EMIs to pay. Lenders will calculate your debt‐to‐income ratio (DTI) or fixed obligations to income ratio (FOIR). A high existing obligation can reduce your education loan eligibility.

  • If you've been timely with your personal loan repayments, it builds a positive credit history. Late payments or defaults will hurt your chances.

  • For student education loans, lenders often require a parent or guardian as co‐applicant with sufficient income and good credit. Your personal loan should not grossly strain the co‐applicant’s capacity either.

  • Banks assess the educational institution’s credibility, the course cost, projected income post‐studies etc. While not directly impacted by your personal loan, this influences the overall loan decision.

  • Check your current EMI obligations (including personal loan) and ensure adding another loan won’t push your DTI too high.

  • Maintain a clean credit history and ensure your personal loan EMIs are paid on time. If possible, reduce your personal loan burden (prepay or shorten tenure) before applying for another loan.

  • Choose a reliable institution and course that lenders view favourably. Provide a strong co‐applicant (parent/guardian) with stable income and low existing liabilities. Be transparent about your personal loan; hiding it may lead to rejection.

I hope this helps!
