DASA Allotment of Institutes & Course – Round Wise
DASA online application form has been released on the official website of DASA on 18 September 2022 and closed on 6 October 2022. The entire application procedure happens online. TestprepKart walks you through the 4 Rounds of seat allotment step by step.
Seat Allotment: It’s a matter of curiosity and concern as many students exactly don’t know the process of seat allotment in the DASA scheme.
DASA Counselling Round 1:
DASA considers all the eligible applicants for Round 1. You can see the Round 1 seat allotment once the DASA finalizes Round 1 on 10 November 2022. You won’t be notified regarding it. So DASA advises all the applicants strongly to check the website for the announcements of seat allotment.
If you won’t be able to accept the seat within the prescribed duration, DASA NIT won’t be taking any responsibility for it.
DASA splits this Round 1 into two categories. They are –
- Applicants that are allotted their first choice of institute/programs in Round 1
- Applicants that are allotted any choice of the institute/college other than the first choice in Round 1.
Applicants that are allotted their first choice of institute/programs in Round 1
Hit Accept, if you are accepting the allotted institute/programs in Round 1, download the provisional allotment letter generated and send it to the Indian Mission to pace up the visa process.
Hit Decline, if you’re denying the allotted institute/programs in Round 1. DASA acknowledges the unaccepted seats as declination if you fail to accept the seat within the prescribed duration. Such applicants aren’t allowed for Round 2 & Round 3. But they can attend Round 4 & Spot Rounds. They have to re-register for Round 4 & Spot Round and the registration fee would be 300 USD.
Applicants that are allotted any choice of the institute/college other than the first choice in Round 1
Hit Accept if you’re happy with the institute/program you have got and don’t want your higher preference choices in the Round 2 allotment. You can generate the Provisional Admission Letter in this case.
Download it and print the Provisional Admission Letter. Now sign it and submit it to the allotted institute during the admission time. All candidates are advised to submit this Provisional Admission Letter as proof to pace up the visa procedure.
Hit Accept & Upgrade if you’re accepting the currently allotted seat and want to participate in Round 2 to get the higher institute/program as per the original choices filled by you at the time of filling the application.
You can generate the Provisional Admission Letter in this case. If you get the seat that has the higher preference in your list of choices in Round 2, the seat allotted in Round 2 will be canceled automatically.
If you won’t get the better institute/college in Round 2, your Round 1 seat will be allotted to you.
Hit Decline, if you don’t wish to accept the allotted seat. DASA considers this as Seat Cancellation / Withdrawal Letter that would be generated. By hitting Decline, your current seat will be canceled and you won’t be eligible for Round 2 & Round 3. You can re-register to apply for Round 4 & Spot Round. The declined seat will be added for the subsequent rounds for the eligible applicants.
If you failed to confirm your allotment on or before 10 November 2022, DASA will presume you as a candidate that doesn’t want the allotted seat and cancel your Round 2 & Round 3 eligibility. You have to re-register to attend the Round 4 & Spot Round. Re-registration just costs 300 USD.

DASA / CIWG & JEE FAQ 2022-23
Answer: Yes, DASA Scheme as well as its subset (the CIWG Scheme) will be available for admissions in the academic year 2022-23.
By applying under these scheme, students can take admissions in NITs, IIITs, CFIs & SPAs. The only difference from 2022 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 2022 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 2022 & CIWG 2022 will remain the same as it is for 2020 or 2019. There are no changes in the eligibility criteria yet announced officially by DASA. Visit here, to check your DASA Eligibility.
Answer: NRI, PIO, OCI Students who are in grade 11th (in 2019) and will be appearing for grade 12th final exams in 2022, are eligible for JEE 2022 to apply under the DASA 2022.
If you are in grade 12th (in 2019), you must be appearing for grade 12th final exams in 2020. Hence you will be giving SAT 2 for applying under DASA 2020.
If in case you wish to take an year extra just for exam preparation, then the year will be 2022 & hence you will have to take JEE Main to apply under DASA 2022.
Ans: 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 2022 (& years after 2022) must start preparing for JEE Main.
Answer: No changes have been made in the qualifying exam criteria for DASA 2022. 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 2022 for applying under DASA 2021 or CIWG 2022.
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 of 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 2022.

Answer: Observing this pattern of how DASA has been allowing NRI Students to submit their SAT 2 scores through their college board account, there are high chances that from session 2022-23 onwards, NRI Students might be made to submit their JEE Main Rank to DASA through their JEE Main account.
