The Direct Admission of Students Abroad (DASA) is a scheme that allows foreign nationals, including Indian-origin candidates studying abroad, to gain direct entry into undergraduate engineering programs in India. This exam-based pathway is designed for students who wish to pursue engineering courses in Indian institutes without appearing for the standard entrance examinations conducted within India.
Overview expand_more
The DASA scheme is administered by the National Testing Agency (NTA) and provides a streamlined process for international students to secure admission in premier engineering institutions in India. The admission is based on the candidate's performance in the qualifying examination and other specified criteria. This scheme is particularly beneficial for students who have completed their 10+2 education abroad and wish to study in India. It ensures a fair and transparent process for international applicants seeking engineering education in the country.
