Hello Nidhin

 NIT's and IIIT's have allotted seats for NRI's and Children of Indians Working in Gulf (CIWG) under DASA (Direct Admission of Students Abroad). The candidates are selected on the basis of their SAT scores.

ELECTRONICS and COMMUNICATION ENGG.

In the NITs there are 261 seats, there are 174 seats under the NRI quota and 87 under the CIWG category. Among the IIITs we have data from three of them mentioned above, IIIT Allahabad has five seats in all (4 NRI, 1 CIWG), while that in IIIT D&M is four (3 NRI, 1 CIWG).

MECHANICAL ENGG.

There are a total of 346 seats reserved for NRI and CIWG candidates out of this 112 seats are exclusively meant for CIWG children.

NRI students have 2 options to secure a seat at the NITs or IIITs.
  • JEE Mains - Writing the exam along with all the students from India hence competing against the countrys best minds. This enables you to be considered a non-NRI under the admissions department which allows you to pay the local fees like any other Indian student.
  • DASA - Writing the SAT Subject Tests (Physics, Chemistry and Math Level 2) and scoring above 1800 overall paves a path for your admission into most NITs. For top NITs like NITT, NITW and NITK etc. you would require an overall of at least 2000 to get accepted (requisites are obviously higher for core branches). The only downside of this option is the fees which is many times the cost that a student who cleared the JEE Mains has to pay. This is ultimately the cost you pay to get into the NITs with much less effort than the JEE (not to say that the SAT-2 isnt challenging).
  • there are 259seats at the undergraduate level of which 175seats are under the NRIcategory and 84 seatsunder the CIWG. Among the IIITs, IIIT D&M has four seatsin all, three under the NRI quota and one under the CIWG.
