    i disagree with your last point in ‘threats’ about education loan..
    though SBI has a stringent approval process, it offers a lower interest rate which allures all the students to prefer SBI…. i can say this, because i have noticed everyone from my college opting for SBI for the education loan for MBA…. even 1 percent difference in interest rate for an amount of 9 lacs tends to shift customer preferences…
