Capability Certificate
Some of the foreign universities require the students to submit a certificate from their bankers about the sponsors’ solvency / financial
capability , with a view to ensure that the sponsors of the students going abroad for higher studies are capable of meeting the expenses
till completion of studies. Accordingly branches can also issue the capability certificate for students going abroad for higher studies. For
this financial and other supporting documents may be obtained from applicant, if required.

The above information is more or less true for most of the nationalised banks which are offering student loans for e.g. State Bank of India,
Allahabad Bank, Central Bank, Bank of India, Saraswat Bank, etc. Private banks like ICICI,   HSBC, Citibank,  etc. are not known to give
student loans unless you are having a long standing customer relationship with them. With nationalised banks , it is
not necessary to be having an existing relationship with the bank but they would ask you to open an account with them.

The Merchant Navy Certificate of Competency courses do not fall under the normal category of Under-graduate or Post-graduate degree
that the banks give loan for. Hence, do expect some resistance when you approach the banks for loans for these courses as they are
unlikely to understand that what a 6 months 2nd Mates or  Class IV engineering course is. For Warsash students we can give you
photocopies of the bank sanction letter of some of our past students who have secured loans for COC courses from nationalised banks
to show to your respective bank personnel. That would make the bank personnel realise that if they do not give you the loan, some
competitor bank may give you the loan and no bank wants to lose out on business in this competitive environment.
