The Joint Entrance Examination, also known as the IIT-JEE, is one of the most important engineering tests held in India for admission to various engineering colleges. It is the criterion set by the government of India for admission to various IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other prestigious engineering colleges across India. Indian engineers, particularly IITians, have long been renowned around the world for their exceptional achievements in a wide range of fields, making the country proud.
As an NRI student, you must have some concerns and questions about quotas, admissions procedures, and criteria to secure your spot at the prestigious engineering universities. We’ll address some of the frequently asked questions by NRI students and parents about JEE eligibility, IIT admission for NRI students, exam preparation, and eligibility criteria.
Answer: Yes, NRI students can appear and take the IIT JEE entrance exam only if they meet all of the qualifying requirements & criteria for JEE Main and JEE Advanced, such as age, appearance, and performance in Grade XII (or equivalent) examinations.
Answer: In IITs, there is no IIT NRI quota. NRI students must meet the JEE Advanced cut-off, similarly to Indian students, and admission will be based on their scores. For admission to IITs, students must first qualify JEE Main and then JEE Advanced.
Answer: Since there is no IIT NRI quota, the process/steps of IIT admission for NRI students is similar to Indian students.
Answer: There are a total of 23 IITs in the country and the total number of undergraduate seats in all IITs is 16,234 (2021 data).
Answer: Yes, you can get into IIT without clearing the JEE exam, but only for courses other than B.Tech. For B.Tech, it is mandatory to qualify JEE Main & Advanced exam to get admissions in IIT.
Answer: Currently No. IITs are located in India only but an agreement has been signed between Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Mr. Piyush Goyal and UAE delegates on 18 February 2022 to establish the first IIT in UAE. That means in the near future we can expect more IITs in foreign countries.
Answer: Yes, NITs, IIITs, and some other reputed institutes have certain reserved seats for NRI students under the DASA scheme. The DASA quota seats account for 15% of the total seats of the institute and the candidate’s JEE Main rank will be considered to determine his/her admission to DASA/CIWG seats.
Answer: NRI students have two options for getting admission in NITs:
#1: Apply, appear and clear JEE Main exam with good score & rank.
#2: By applying under the DASA scheme. For this also JEE’s Main score & rank will be considered but as 15% of seats are reserved for NRI students under the DASA scheme, the probability of getting admission increases here.
Answer: If you’ve secured your admission through JEE Main, the fee for NRI students in NITs is the same as it is for Indian students. However, you need to pay higher than the standard fee if you were chosen via the DASA system. Candidates for the CIWG would be required to pay the same fee as Indian nationals.
Answer: NRI students are eligible to attempt JEE Mains twice in a year. For each attempt, candidates need to apply online by filling out the application form and depositing the examination fee separately.
Answer: Gulf quota also referred to as CIWG (Children of Indian Workers in Gulf Countries) is a unique quota offered by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) under the DASA scheme for the children of Gulf workers in nations such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, Iran, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain. The gulf quota reserves 1/3 of the seats available under the DASA scheme in NITs, IIITs, and other prestigious technical institutes.
Answer: DASA is known as the Direct Admissions of Students Abroad scheme introduced by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, India (MHRD) for Foreign Nationals/Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs)/Non- Resident Indians (NRIs)/ Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) students who want to enroll for Undergraduate and Postgraduate Engineering, Architecture Design, and Management Programs in India’s most prestigious and well-known institutions.
For admissions, applicants must fulfill the eligibility criteria of age, marks/percentage and need to have a valid JEE MAIN score.
Answer: No, NRI students cannot take admissions in the NIT NRI quota through DASA only, because now DASA admissions will be based on JEE Main score & rank rather than SAT score. Hence, candidates need to have a valid JEE Main score and rank to get admissions in the NIT NRI quota under the DASA scheme.
Answer: No, from 2021 onwards, SAT scores are no longer valid for admissions under the DASA scheme. From 2021-22 onwards, DASA admissions will be based on JEE Main ranks rather than SAT scores.
