Manual Application Process: Many places still follow manual application processes, which can be time-consuming and involve a lot of paperwork. This can lead to delays and longer processing times for the loan application.

Longer Processing Times: Trying to get an education loan directly by yourself may result in longer processing times for your loan, particularly if there are problems with your credit history or discrepancies in your application.

Eligibility Requirements: Different lenders may have different criteria for loan eligibility. If you approach a lender directly, you may find that you are not eligible for their loan products, which can restrict your options and make it harder to obtain the financing you require.

Limited Loan Options: If you approach a lender directly, you may have access only to their specific loan products. This can prevent you from comparing rates and terms from other lenders, potentially resulting in higher costs for your loan.
