NRI Quota & Govt. Engineering Colleges in India
Are you an NRI aiming to relocate to India from UAE / Saudi Arabia / Oman / Qatar / Bahrain / Kuwait in order to pursue B.E / B.Arch from the top-tier Engineering Colleges of India??
If so, this article meets your requirements.
It is apparent that most NRI Students & Parents could have heard about the NRI Quota in Engineering Colleges, but they don’t know what it exactly is. We’re here to guide you through the NRI Quota and the list of Govt. Engineering Colleges that fall under it.
Note: According to the latest update from DASA, from session 2021-22 onwards, JEE Main Rank is to be mandatory for NRI/PIO/OCI students to be eligible for DASA & CIWG Schemes. Hence, 2020-21 will be the last year when SAT 2 scores will be considered for engineering admissions under DASA/CIWG Scheme.
Let’s start with IITs first:
JEE test is the mandatory test for all the NRI students who are aiming to get admission in the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).

It may seem like a dream but, the harsh reality is that you’ve to compete with the Indian students appearing for the JEE as there’s no specific quota available for NRIs. And JEE Advanced is counted among one of the toughest Engineering Entrance Exams in the world.
Know Your JEE Eligibility For IITs
NITs, CFTIs, IIITs & SPAs
DASA Scheme is the only option for NRIs to get admission in National Institute of Technology (NITs), Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIITs), School of Planning and Architecture (SPAs) and Centrally Funded Technical Institutes (CFTIs).
Know Your JEE Eligibility For NITs / CFTIs / SPAs
By applying under DASA CIWG quota NRI students can get admission into NITs, CFTIs, IIITs,SPAs...etc easily.
What’s DASA Scheme?
DASA stands for Direct Admission for Students Abroad.
This scheme was launched by MHRD, India for students willing to enrol for UG Engineering Courses (Under Graduates) of NRIs, PIO, OCI category who are residing abroad (apart from India).
This scheme is applicable for you if you’re aiming to have a Bachelor’s degree from Engineering/Architecture streams.

JEE Eligibility Criteria For NRIs
Being an NRI, you can get into these premier engineering colleges through DASA scheme.
You have to appear for the JEE Main. Admissions will be allotted on the merit basis.
Check Eligibility Criteria, Fees, Registration Process, Important Dates, Seat Allotment to make you familiar with this DASA 2021 scheme here.
There is one more scheme called CIWG, which is a subset of DASA.

-
Iran
-
Iraq
-
Kuwait
-
Oman
-
Qatar
-
Saudi Arabia
-
United Arab Emirates
Pros of CIWG:
Gulf Quota: One-Third seats are allotted to Gulf Quota/CIWG scheme from DASA scheme.
Cost-Effective: If you hail from a Gulf-based country, you will need to pay just 6 lakh to accomplish the 8 semesters. But, a DASA student pays 22 lakh to finish the same graduation from DASA participating colleges.
Competition: Competition for the CIWG scheme is very huge. So, you have to work super hard to get admission in these prestigious engineering colleges.
Check the CIWG Scheme for more in detail.
State Level Govt. Colleges
It’s pretty sure that NRIs will also get chance to on-board the Govt. colleges by appearing for the State Level Engineering entrance tests like EAMCET, TS EAMCET, K CET etc.
