Engineering Seats for NRIs in India
Seats in Engineering Colleges for NRIs in India
Are you an NRI and planning to appear for the JEE Main just to come back to India for the undergraduate program in engineering?
Then, it’s pretty important to know the number of engineering seats available for NRIs in IITs via JEE and NITs via DASA scheme.
Note: According to the latest update from DASA, from 2022 onwards, JEE Scores will be made mandatory for NRI/PIO/OCI Students to be eligible for DASA & CIWG Schemes. Hence, 2020 will be the last year when SAT 2 scores will be considered for DASA/CIWG Scheme.
Let’s dig into the total number of seats allotted in the NITs & IITs for NRIs:
Get Help - DASA/CIWG, NRI Quota
Seats for NRIs in NITs (under DASA Scheme):
DASA quota is for all undergraduate NRIs/PIO/OCI/FNs, whose prospective colleges are NITs (National Institute of Technology’s) and CFTIs (Centrally Funded Technical Institutes)
DASA scheme is known as NRI Quota in general. MHRD, India launched the DASA scheme in 2001-12 by keeping considering the pain of NRI students that want to return India to have the engineering degree from the top-tier NITs, IIITs, SAPs and CFTIs.
DASA stands for Direct Admission for Students Abroad. This scheme is applicable for NRIs that are aiming to have a Bachelor’s degree from Engineering/Architecture streams in top-tier engineering colleges of India.
Here’s the list of DASA participating colleges & the seats reserved under both DASA Scheme & CIWG scheme in individual:
