About this guide

How Indian students close the gap left by scholarships: the J.N. Tata, K.C. Mahindra and Narotam Sekhsaria loan scholarships, bank loans, tax relief under Section 80E, and the new rules on tax at source.

Most Indian LLM students combine a partial scholarship with a loan scholarship or a bank loan. Done well, this keeps borrowing cheap. Done badly, it can shape your career choices for years.
