09 November 2013 Tuition fees u/s.80C and interest on education loan u/s.80E both are independent. so you can claim for both deduction for same child

09 November 2013 Tuition fees deduction u/s.80C having cap of 2 children. under section 80E there is no such cap only relative definition is given as below

"relative", in relation to an individual, means the spouse and children of that individual or the student for whom the individual is the legal guardian

as you mentioned in the query, you can take the loan deduction for 3rd child
