How We Rank Student Credit Cards

Our objective, fact-checked scoring framework for evaluating credit cards in India.

Selection & Evaluation Criteria

  • ✓Targeted category valueback rate and effective INR return
  • ✓Monthly and billing-cycle reward caps
  • ✓Verified joining and renewal fee waiver thresholds
  • ✓Merchant exclusions (fuel, utilities, wallet top-ups, rent)

Scoring & Merit Framework

Objective 0–100 merit score derived from canonical financial data

Objective Verification:All reward conversion ratios, annual fees, and milestone benefits are audited against official bank Schedule of Charges (SOC) documents and MITC filings.

Confidence & Unknown Data Handling

Confidence is bounded to MEDIUM when merchant exclusion lists or fuel surcharge caps are unverified (UNKNOWN != verified none).

Commercial Independence Disclosure

In the event of an objective numerical tie, cards with broader merchant acceptance, lower annual renewal fees, and higher transparency regarding exclusion lists receive preference. Commercial partnerships never alter algorithmic merit ranking.
