You just submit your documents. We take care of everything else.
We make sure you get the best service — the right lender, a competitive interest rate, and only the insurance you actually need. Over the life of a loan, that can save you lakhs. No chasing banks, no guesswork — we handle the whole process end to end.
You just submit documents
Share your paperwork once — we prepare, check and submit the file for you.
Best rate & right insurance
We push for a competitive rate and stop you overpaying for insurance you don’t need.
Potential savings in lakhs
A lower rate and leaner charges across the loan term add up to large savings.
Savings vary by profile and lender and are not guaranteed — actual rates, fees and insurance are set by the lender.
Getting a loan is more than one application
Most students think it’s a single form. In reality, this is where they get stuck:
What we help with
Unlike agents who just connect you to a lender, we stay involved until your money reaches your university.
Loan eligibility check
We review your university, course, fees, family income and co-applicant profile before applying — to improve approval chances.
Compare multiple loan options
Interest rates, processing fees, moratorium, repayment, collateral vs non-collateral, insurance — so you choose the best fit, not the first offer.
Documentation support
A clear student + co-applicant checklist, reviewed document by document to reduce rejection chances.
Application submission
Fill the application correctly, upload the right documents, and review everything before it goes in.
Loan follow-up
The biggest pain point. We chase processing, credit team, verification, sanction and disbursement so you don’t spend weeks waiting.
Visa timeline planning
We make sure your loan is processed in time for your visa appointment, university payment deadline and blocked-account deadline.
Sanction letter review
Before you accept, we explain interest rate, processing fees, EMI, moratorium, insurance, repayment and hidden charges.
After loan approval
Tuition fee payment, blocked account, forex guidance, travel and visa — everything under one roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Think Mile provide the loan?
No. Think Mile is not a bank, NBFC or lender and does not provide loans or financial advice. We provide documentation and process assistance. The loan, its terms, eligibility and approval are decided solely by the lender.
Which lender do you work with?
We work directly with HDFC Credila — India’s largest dedicated education-loan lender — because of its strong unsecured options and reliable process for Germany. We help you choose the right secured or unsecured option for your profile.
Is collateral compulsory?
Not always. Credila funds unsecured (no-collateral) loans up to around ₹50 lakh for Germany; larger amounts use collateral, which usually carries a lower rate. We help you weigh both.
Can I get a loan before my visa?
Yes. Most students obtain their sanction letter before receiving the visa — the sanction letter and blocked account are usually part of the visa file.
How long does the loan take?
Plan for about 1 to 2 months for the whole process, from application to disbursement — it can be faster when your documents are complete and slower for secured loans that need property valuation. We follow up at every stage so your file does not stall before your visa deadline.
Can I pay during the moratorium period?
Yes, many lenders allow voluntary payments during the moratorium, which reduces the interest that builds up. Exact terms vary by lender.
Do I need insurance?
Some lenders bundle insurance products into the loan, and many are optional. We make sure you only pay for insurance that is actually required — which on its own can save you a significant amount.
