For DASA and CIWG UG Engineering, the class 12 academic score is considered in aggregate across all subjects, not just PCM (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics). The minimum aggregate percentage requirement is typically 60% or 75% (depending on the specific rules for DASA and CIWG). Students must also have studied Mathematics, Physics, and one of Chemistry, Biotechnology, Computer Science, or Biology in class 11 and 12.

DASA/CIWG UG Eligibility:

Must be an NRI/OCI/Foreign student.

For CIWG, parents must be working in Gulf countries.

12th scores in only PCM are considered. Min 60% or equivalent grade is needed.

SAT Subject Tests required (till 2021); now SAT General is required.

Under the DASA (Direct Admission of Students Abroad) scheme, eligibility for undergraduate engineering programs requires:

• Academic Qualification : Completion of Class 11 and 12 (or equivalent) with Mathematics, Physics, and one of the following subjects: Chemistry, Biotechnology, Computer Science, or Biology.

• Minimum Marks : An aggregate of at least 75% marks (or a CGPA of 7.5 out of 10 ) in the qualifying examination.

• Age Limit : Applicants must be born on or after October 1, 1999 .

• JEE Main Score : A valid JEE Main 2025 rank is mandatory for all applicants, except for Children of Indian Workers in Gulf Countries (CIWG).

For CIWG candidates:

• Eligibility : Children of Indian workers in Gulf countries who have studied abroad for at least two years during the last eight years.

• Academic Qualification : Similar to DASA, with the same subject requirements.

• Minimum Marks : An aggregate of at least 60% marks (or a CGPA of 6.0 out of 10 ) in the qualifying examination.

• JEE Main Score : Not required for CIWG candidates.

• Proof of Employment : A certificate from the employer confirming the parent's employment in a Gulf country.
