Direct Admission of Students Abroad (DASA) is a Government of India scheme that allows foreign nationals, Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs), and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to apply for undergraduate and postgraduate programs in engineering, architecture, and management at premier Indian institutes. The program covers admissions to National Institutes of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs), and other top technical institutions in India. It aims to provide international students with access to high-quality technical education in India.

DASA is open to foreign nationals, PIOs, and NRIs. Applicants must have completed their qualifying examinations for undergraduate or postgraduate programs as per the institute’s requirements. There are no specific income or marks criteria mentioned, but candidates must meet the academic eligibility set by the respective institutes. Reserved category certificates (if applicable) should be submitted as per Government of India norms.

Applicants must submit their applications online through the official DASA portal. Required documents, such as academic transcripts, proof of identity, and category certificates (if applicable), must be uploaded. After submission, applicants should monitor the portal for updates and follow the institute-specific admission process. Payment of the application fee, if applicable, must be completed within the stipulated timeline.
