Hello there,

For your OCI son's IIT/NIT admissions based on JEE:

• JEE Main: He's treated as General Category . Use standard JEE Main college predictors with his rank.
  
  
• JEE Advanced:
  • OCI issued after March 4, 2021: Considered foreign national , applies directly to JEE Advanced for supernumerary seats (up to 10%). Prediction is harder due to limited cutoff data.
    
    
  • OCI issued before March 4, 2021: Generally treated as General Category , needs JEE Main rank. Use standard JEE Advanced college predictors.
    
    
• No Category Reservations (except OPEN-PwD).
• Use online JEE college predictor tools after results with his General Category rank.

Key: Check official JEE websites for the latest OCI rules. Prediction for the foreign national route in JEE Advanced is less precise.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, then feel free to share your questions with us, we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
