Every year thousands of Indian NRI parents and students look

towards India for engineering admission in various prestigious

colleges across the nation.

Of course for the best of engineering colleges in India like IITs,

one needs to prove and need to stay at the same competition

level as Indian students.

But, talented NRI students are given preferences in many

Engineering Colleges in India under the scheme called DASA /

CIWG Scheme. Ministry of Human Resource & Development

initiated this scheme for engineering aspirants.

This scheme is popularly known as "NRI Quota" amongst the NRIs

in the Middle East & other parts of the world.

3 Options For NRI Students - For Engineering Admission In

India

A. Priority 1 - Admission in IITs in India

B. Priority 2 - Admission in CFTIs in India (NITs, IIITs & Other 54

Institutions)

C. Priority 3 - Admission in State Engineering Colleges

NRIs JEE Admission Overview (NRI Quota)

1


DASA Scheme:

Stands for (Direct Admission Student Abroad) - This scheme also

known as NRI Quota for admission in Indian Engineering Colleges,

primarily which comes under CFTIs (Centrally Funded Institution)

category in India.

NRIs / OCIs & PIOs across the world can apply under DASA Scheme and

avail admission in CFTI engineering colleges in India.

CIWG Scheme:

Stands for (Children of Indian Workers In Gulf) - This scheme is a sub set

of DASA. It's not a separate scheme. But, this comes with some added

advantages for NRI students from Middle Eastern countries like Saudi

Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar & Bahrain.

This scheme can only be availed by NRI students from Middle East for

admission in Indian Engineering Colleges.

CIWG Scheme can help NRI Students getting admission in engineering

colleges in India (CFTIs) Centrally funded institution in India.

About DASA / CIWG Scheme

DASA & CIWG are not much different in nature, only point is that CIWG is

a category in the DASA scheme itself and only meant for NRIs in Gulf

Countries. No other student around the world can apply under the

CIWG category, but NRI students in the Gulf can apply for both CIWG &

DASA options.

Procedure


Of course to get admission in CFTIs or engineering colleges like NITs,

IIITs, DTU & NSIT etc. (List Below) You now need to clear the JEE Main

paper (Previously SAT). But, to take admission into these colleges being

an NRI student you also need to be eligible for DASA / CIWG quota.

If you are not eligible for DASA / CIWG quota then you need to write

paper as a general Indian student and you need to compete with

Indian students in JEE Main with their cutoff marks and privileges under

DASA / CIWG cannot be taken.

IMPORTANT: When you appear from DASA / CIWG category for JEE Main,

your cutoff is separate from Indian students which is relatively high.

DASA / CIWG Eligibility

Age Eligibility: Only applicants born on or after October 01, 1995 are

eligible.

Academic Eligibility: Students must have completed his / her 11th and

TARGET 1: If your Target is "1" then you have no privilege of being NRI

and you need to compete with Indian students in both JEE Main and

JEE Advanced. Competition is high here.

TARGET 2: If your Target is "2" then you can take admission in below

mentioned (54 Premiere Engineering) Colleges by writing just JEE

Main through DASA / CIWG quota with lower fee. Competition is

moderate here.

TARGET 3: If your Target is "3" then you can simply write any state

board Engineering Entrance Test or write JEE Main.

Either of the score will help you in getting admission in regional

colleges. Fee will be higher as you will be treated as NRI student here.

Competition is low here.

Typically when you get admission in India in any of the engineering

colleges, being an NRI student you need to pay a little higher than

Indian students.

But, when you apply through CIWG scheme, you actually pay less

than what Indian student pays for the same seat.

This is because of the fact that NRI students from Gulf are given

concession for admission in India under CIWG scheme.

After noticing the growth of foreign students in engineering colleges

in India (IITs, CFTIs, NITs...SPA etc), the more opportunities have been

given to the NRIs.

For this, JEE centers have opened in foreign countries so that

students who reside in foreign can give their JEE main exam easily.

NTA has a total of 9 exam cities outside India. The complete list of all

JEE Main exam centres outside India is given below.

Every year one of the NITs takes initiative to process the DASA / CIWG

scheme for NRI students. Last year NITK, Surathkal, has processed the

DASA application form submission process at dasanit.org.

DASA form submission can only be done online and usually the last

date is in the last week of March or April.

Foreign nationals and NRIs can fill out the DASA application form for

admission to UG engineering and architecture courses at NITs, IIITs,

SPAs and other participating institutions.

Important

A) Students who wish to target under DASA / CIWG - They need to fill

the JEE Main application also and at the same time they need to

submit an application for DASA / CIWG too.

Exam Application Procedure

There are a couple of good options apart from writing JEE which you

can select being an NRI student for securing a seat in good

engineering colleges.

Indian and NRI students can take these below entrance exams

(Other options than JEE) to get into prestigious engineering colleges.

• BITSAT

• SRMJEE

• State Level Entrance Exam

• Manipal Entrance Test MET

There are a total 3000 seats are available under DASA CIWG Scheme

in prestigious Indian colleges like NITs, CFTIs, IIITs & SPAs etc.

Approx. 2000 seats are reserved for DASA category students and 1000

is reserved only for CIWG candidates in all CFTIs. These are the total

number of available seats and not as per college.

To get proper synopsis of available seats for NRIs in Indian

engineering colleges.

For DASA Candidates: Access to only 2000 Seats

For CIWG Candidates: Access to 1000 (CIWG) + 2000 (DASA Seats)

Total Number of Seats In DASA / CIWG

12


To be able to get admission in above CFTIs, you need to score well

and compete with other NRI students to secure a seat.

Until last year when SAT was there typically 1800 marks were needed

out of 2400 marks paper to be even eligible for DASA / CIWG scheme.

But, good college and rank can only be achieved around 2250+

marks out of 2400.

SAT was supposed to be easier, many students could get a perfect

SAT score, which is 2400 / 2400.

Problem Now:

Since SAT is not there anymore and this year 2020 many students

gave their first attempt of JEE Main for DASA / CIWG. Official cutoff is

yet to be released and seen.

But our guess is around 140 marks out of 300 in JEE Main should

definitely be there for DASA / CIWG students.

Score Needed For DASA / CIWG Selection
