CIWG Scheme Advantages and Benefits NRI Students in the Middle East:
Indian Universities and highly-qualified colleges have contributed a ton in the Science and Technology domains and recognized as the international center for learning since time immemorial.
Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) launched DASA in 2001-02 with a dream to make India an educational hub and to fulfill the dreams of undergraduate students by opening wonderful opportunities for them to pursue careers in architecture, engineering & technology.
All the technical institutes that are participating in DASA are autonomous. The NITs and IITs are declared as Institutes of National Importance by an Act of Parliament and most of the other institutions are Deemed Universities.
What is the CIWG Scheme?
CIWG stands for Children of Indian Workers in Gulf Countries. CIWG is a scheme generated by the Ministry of India for the children of Indian expatriates in Gulf countries looking for admissions at the premier Indian Institutes through the DASA scheme.
Will you be applying for DASA / CIWG 2021 or years after that? You must then prepare for JEE Main.
According to the CIWG scheme, there will be 1/3rd reservation of seats of DASA for the Children of Indian workers in the Gulf countries (CIWG). However, any vacant seats out of the 1/3rd category of CIWG shall be reverted to the 2/3rd quota seats meant for other different categories of DASA. The 1/3 reserved category of CIWG will be reverted to the 2/3rd quota if not filled within the spot round.
Benefits & Advantages of CIWG:
The CIWG applicant can avail of the below-mentioned fee waivers only if he falls under the 8 countries of CIWG. The advantages list is as follows:
-
NRI/PIO/OCI candidates that are eligible for CIWG quota are eligible for DASA quota as well. But in order to avail of this option, the applicant has to pay the same tuition fee as the DASA applicant pays. That is, if the CIWG applicant pays the same first-semester fee of a DASA student.
-
Then such applicants are shown both the CIWG and DASA quotas of each institute and branch separately during the academic program choice filling.

In case, if the CIWG applicant is allotted on the CIWG quota basis, the remaining will be credited to the applicant’s account once DASA completes the entire admission process.
-
Candidates that pay the CIWG fee are eligible for CIWG quota alone and they won’t be eligible for CIWG quota.

CIWG applicants will be paying just 62500 INR tuition fees a semester. Whereas, DASA applicants will pay 4000 USD a semester. Check the DASA 2021-21 Fee Structure for more details.

DASA / CIWG & JEE FAQ 2021-22
Answer: Yes, DASA Scheme as well as its subset (the CIWG Scheme) will be available for admissions in the academic year 2021-22.
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 2021 & CIWG 2021 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 2021, are eligible for JEE 2021 to apply under the DASA 2021.
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 2021 & hence you will have to take JEE Main to apply under DASA 2021.
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 2021 (& years after 2021) must start preparing for JEE Main.
Answer: No changes have been made in the qualifying exam criteria for DASA 2021. 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 2021 for applying under DASA 2021 or CIWG 2021.
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 2021.
