Hello Aspirant,

As OCI card holder issued after March 4th, 2021, you cannot be admitted under DASA (Direct Admission of Students Abroad) even if your complete education is in India. According to the updated DASA eligibility requirement, only OCI / PIO candidates who were issued their card before( on or before) March 4th, 2021 will be considered DASA eligible. Because your OCI was issued after this date, you will be considered an Indian national for purposes of admission, and can apply via the JEE Main / JoSAA counseling process instead.
