DASA CIWG Basics
What is DASA Quota
The DASA quota is a scheme in which NRI students take admissions in Indian premier colleges like IIIT, NIT, CFTI, etc. This quota was launched by the ministry of human resource development (MHRD). The purpose of launching this quota was to help those students who want to take admission to Indian premier colleges and are of Indian origin but live abroad.
Admissions will be provided in UG & PG Programs for Engineering, Architecture Design, and Management courses through Scores/Ranks obtained in JEE Main, and GRE/GMAT entrance exams.
In other words, MHRD gave an opportunity to all the Indian citizens to pursue graduation who are residing abroad. Hence, DASA Scheme made it easier for the engineering aspirants to apply for the UG (Under Grad.) Courses in NITs, IIITs, SPAs & CFIs of India, apart from the IITs.

DASA / CIWG & JEE FAQ 2025-26
Answer: Yes, DASA Scheme as well as its subset (the CIWG Scheme) will be available for admissions in the academic year 2025-26.
By applying under these scheme, students can take admissions in NITs, IIITs, CFIs & SPAs. The only difference from 2021 is that JEE Main Rank will be considered valid, not SAT 2.
Answer: No. As notified on the official website of DASA, SAT 2 Scores or SAT Subject Scores will no longer be valid from 2021 onwards to take admissions under DASA & CIWG Scheme.
Answer: The benefit with JEE is that the students who happen to be eligible for JEE Advanced (decided on the basis of JEE Main Results), can take JEE Advanced Exams to try for admissions in IITs, the most premier engineering Institute in India.
The same wasn’t possible with SAT 2 because IITs dont intake students on the basis of SAT 2 Scores. If students can’t clear JEE Advanced, they can still take admissions in NITs, IIITs, CFIs & SPAs on the basis of JEE Main Rank.
The eligibility criteria for DASA 2024 & CIWG 2025 will remain the same as it is for 2022 or 2021. There are no changes in the eligibility criteria yet announced officially by DASA. Visit here, to check your DASA Eligibility.
Question 5: Students of which grade are eligible to take JEE Main exam for applying under DASA 2025?
Answer: NRI, PIO, OCI Students who are in grade 11th (in 2024) and will be appearing for grade 12th final exams in 2025, are eligible for JEE 2025 to apply under the DASA 2025.
Answer: Because DASA released this notification on 4th of April on its official website (https://dasanit.org/). There are 100% chance that this notification is a final one.
No detailed circular has been released as of now but as soon as any such updates arrive, you can find them on our website.
Answer: This is completely unpredictable. But there seems to be less chance that it will be withdrawn. The NRI, PIO, OCI Students who wish to apply for DASA / CIWG 2025 (& years after 2021) must start preparing for JEE Main.
Answer: No changes have been made to the qualifying exam criteria for DASA 2025. Students must have a minimum of 60%, or equivalent, in Grade 12 Exams (of their respective boards) & must have successfully completed Maths, Physics and one of the subjects from (Chemistry, Biotechnology, Computer Science, Biology) in Grade 11th & 12th.
Answer: The applicants must be thoroughly aware of the syllabus & pattern i.e. revolving around the NCERT textbooks for class 11th & 12th.
This is because JEE Syllabus is based on the NCERT Text books. The students must also practice using various reference books /online test series/ JEE coaching online/ mock tests/ previous years papers in order to crack JEE 2025-26 for applying under DASA 2025 or CIWG 2025.
Answer: The JEE cutoff varies every year because of the percentile system. Hence, the exact cut off cannot be mentioned. Every year, JEE cutoff is announced at the time of JEE Result Declaration & it is valid only for that particular year.
Answer: Based on the tough competition students have in India, it is very necessary for students to make extra efforts to clear JEE Main or Advanced. In India, when science students enter grade 11th, they take up tuitions or coaching to help them prepare for JEE Main.
Because the JEE Syllabus is based on NCERT Textbooks which are used in Grade 11th & 12th, it also helps them prepare for their school exams / board exams. Ideally, 2 years of JEE preparation (coaching, previous 40 years questions practice, test series) is needed for students who want to clear JEE Main.
Hence, it is highly recommended for NRI , PIO, OCI Students to take JEE Coaching if they wish to secure a seat in NITs, IIITs, CFIs or SPAs under DASA / CIWG Scheme 2024.
