Planning to join a top institute for a master's in business administration? There are many things to consider such as the options and the opportunities the institute offers. But, cost is also a key consideration.
A typical two-year programme in an institute such asIIM Ahmedabad or IIM Bengaluru costs around ₹23 lakh. Add to this travel and other sundry expenses.
At some of the newer IIMs and at some top private b-schools, the fees are lower. But, even then, it can be around ₹10 lakh to ₹15 lakh. Clearly, not many will be able to afford the fees out-of-pocket. Educational loans can be handy here.
Most banks offer education loans for higher degrees. Now, banks even have products for specific courses and institutes. For instance, State Bank of India’s SBI Scholar Loan Scheme covers courses in IIMs, IITs, NITs and other similar institutes. IDBI Bank has exclusive education loan products for courses in premier institutions, with low interest rates, said Sanjay Deshpande, executive director at the bank. Also, many students are enrolled under the management quota, which lead to higher expenses; banks like IDBI Bank offer exclusive products for these students, too, Deshpande said.

William Dalrymple goes further back
Indian readers have long known William Dalrymple as the chronicler nonpareil of India in the early years of the British raj. His latest book, The Golden Road, is a striking departure, since it takes him to a period from about the third century BC to the 12th-13th centuries CE.
The bleat from the street
What with all the apps delivering straight to one’s doorstep, the supermarkets, the food halls and even the occasional (super-expensive) pop-up thela (cart) offering the woke from field-to-fork option, the good old veggie-market/mandi has fallen off my regular beat.

Upgrade your jeans
If you don’t live in the top four-five northern states of India, winter means little else than a pair of jeans. I live in Mumbai, where only mad people wear jeans throughout the year. High temperatures and extreme levels of humidity ensure we go to work in mulmul salwars, cotton pants, or, if you are lucky like me, wear shorts every day.
