Update 30 May 2012
I request the blog readers to share their views if this post helped them personally in taking a decision. Obviously, I would be open to criticism if the expected cut-off are missing the bulls-eye by a big margin (>80-100 points for top 5 colleges). However, it is quite possible that the cut-off could be much higher going by the solid response to the scheme this year. Keeping the fingers crossed.
All the very best to all DASA Scheme applicants. Good Luck.

SAT II Subject Tests: Everything About It
Hi Raj
You are doing a great help to the guys like me by clarifying a number of doubts. I have gone through the entire Q and A above and am very much impressed.
My issue is a bit different. This year, the duration of study has been reduced to 2 years for DASA. My daughter studied Class XI and XII under CBSE curriculum at Singapore. Her period of study is 2 years, but the period of stay in Singapore is less than 2 years. My query is whether she is eligible to apply under DASA? Till standard X, she has studied in India.
Thanks a million in advance.
Regards
Prasad
I would think your case should be fine. However, the exact duration of stay in days is not defined by DASA, so it would be at their discretion. Suggest to get in tough with DASA officials.
R/SIR, MY SON HAS SCORED 2160 MARKS IN SAT 2 SUBJECT TEST HE IS INTERESTED IN MECH BRANCH .HE IS INTERESTED IN NIT SURATKAL OR TRICHI OR WARANGLE. IS HE ABLE TO GET ADMISSION WITH THIS MARKS IN ABOVE N I TS .AND COULD YOU TELL ME WHICH N I T OR PRIVATE ENGG COLLEGE IS GOOD FOR MECHANICAL BRANCH. AND HOW MANY SEATS UNDER DASA QUOTA WERE VACANT IN 2011 -2012 IN DIFFRENT N I T S .PLEASE REPLY THANKS
Your son can get in nit w with the scores. Frankly I don’t like private colleges at all if you can get top DASA institutes.
sir i hv a sat2 score of 2150 can i have a chance of getting admitted to nitw or nitk for cs engineering
You could get adm in W.
My son is studying in IB school in Nigeria. Would he be eligible for DASA scheme.
Please refer to page 17 of DASA brochure for eligible boards. If the class is equivalent of 12th grade- would be eligible.
Dear sir
i have just given my Sat 2 may test (as it was my first attempt)
and the scores are out on may 24.
what are my chances to get mech.engg in NITW
with a score of 2000 ( as i believe will be my minimum score)
thank you.
With about 2000 score, Mech not possible in any of top 5 colleges.
Dear Mr. Raj
My son just appeared for SAT II May exam and awaiting its results. He expects around 1900-2000 and applied through DASA Scheme for Mechanical Engineering only in NIT Calicut, NIT Trichy, NIT Suratkal and NIT Warangal and NIT Nagpur. What are the chances for him to get admission for Mech.? if he does not get admission in NIT, could you suggest other alternatives for him to study for Mech in a reputed college. I am afraid that their admission procedures may have already completed while we are waiting for DASA selection. In case his application is rejected by DASA due to low score or non availability of seats, will we get the full tuition fee refund? Please list down some of the best private colleges offer Mech. Eng in South India.
I must say that you are doing a wonderful service to the mankind.
Best regards,
Abdul Nazer, Jeddah – KSA
He can get mech in Nagpur and any of the college other than top 5. I don’t see any need to consider private college if your likely scores are what you have noted.
sir
can u tell me the most preffered colleges in north india under the dasa scheme with respect to academic and placement prospects
PEC, NIT-A, IIIT-A, Jaipur
Sir, i have 2320 in my SAT. should i opt for any NIT other than NITK, NITW or trichy? Is COEP better in terms of placements? or comparable?
your scores are good, no need to apply to other NON-DASA institutes. COEP is good but top 3 NITs are beyond any comparison between them.
Dear Raj Sir,
Between MNNIT-Allhbd and NITC, even though rankings wise MNNIT-A > NITC, Interestingly I am seeing that people with better SAT scores are opting for NITC than MNNIT-A. wondering why NITC is ranked lower.
I read some very disturbing things abt MNNIT- A from some blogs (for eg., The Chhamanator's blogs) like poor infra, ragging (sometimes violent that once lead to a suicide), power cuts, cramped hostel rooms, faculty quality, only hindi speaking faculty, very bad food, hardly any sports/extracurricular activities etc., etc.). Not sure what to make out of it. Wish if someone could give latest first hand info on this.
Please let me know if according to you, its a wrong move to opt for NITC instead of MNNIT-A future career prospects wise, or that both colleges are more or less the same and should not really matter in the long run?
Kindly let me know your frank opinion on this and help me make a better decision
Regards,
Srinivas
In DASA scheme, NITC is more in demand (compared to MNNIT-A) as many of the gulf-expats are from that state. If you only consider academics, MNNIT is better (just google aieee 2011 cut-off ranks for the two colleges to find out yourself). However infra and city comparison are different matter altogether.
Dear Sir,
I would like to thank u for the wonderful job that u are doing. This site has been very useful to me.
I currently have a SAT-2 score of 2050 and have just written the paper again in May. I’m expecting a good score and want to pursue Comp. Science Engg. in NIT-K or NIT-T. However, if for some reason I am unable to get what I want, is it better to opt for IT in NIT-K or CSE in a private college like MIT, Pune? Thanks.
First thing first- don’t even look at private colleges if you can get in any of the top 5-7 DASA colleges (unless someone is in love with their home town). Secondly, don’t look at IT if you are getting CSE in other DASA institute.
Dear Sir,
My current SAT Score is 1940 and have already appeared for 5th May SAT for improvement. With the available score, is there any chance to get admission in NITT for ECE, EEE or Mechanical branch.
Thank you
Phil
Unlikely to get the branches in TRICHY with the score.
Dear sir,
my SAT score -2170, what are my chances for ece/cse/eee in nit warangal,nit trichy, nit calicut
Good chances in all 3 colleges for the listed branches
Hey…
Can you please tell me when the application forms for the nri admissions in Delhi Technological University come out??
Thanks, keep the good work up…appreciate it
Balesh
In DTU, the scheme is announced in end-May since last 2 years. However, there is no guarantee that the scheme would be announced at all. Keep your fingers crossed as the institute is one of the last to announce admission formalities.
I have SAT score 1860, and seeking only Comp Science in any South Indian NITs, preferably Kerala.
Can I give option only Comp Science ? What woud be the chances to come in 1st or 2nd list ?
Please reply…Thank you.
Very difficult to get CSE in the 4 south NITs with your score. Consider other NITs.
i just checked the seats available (DASA scheme) or each branch in d respected NIT colleges … its like 9 -12 seats max for each …so wont there be enough competiton .. i wana get into NIT rourkela ..for chemical enginering .do u think it possible with just 1800 sat score?
Yes, you would most likely get it.
For Mech, you may get in all except for top 5 colleges. EEE you can get exceept in K.
SAT score is 1880. Any chance in NIT Calicut for CSE admission ?
Pls reply..Thanks.
Difficult. Choose some other institute for the branch.
my daughter has in sat 2020 total score please tell me can she will get seat in NIT kurukshetra in cse .
Yes, she can get CSE
will i surely get a EEE seat at nit k with a sat subject test score of 2290 ? Among the top 3 nit's,even though you say trichy and warangal are superior to surathkal , is there a big difference or are they equally good? if not what makes them superior?
thank you and do reply at the earliest.
Most likely you will get EEE (wish I could give guarantee!). In my previous posts I have noted that “As per AIEEE caandidates preference” T and W get better ranked candidates. Having said that, my individual 1st pref is K not due to academics but due to a better connectivity (nearby airport), cosmopolititan culture, better food, ambience of Karnataka ….
Dear Raj ji,
I was tracking the movement of my son's DASA application. It shown they have received all documents except for qualifying examinatino details. I fail to understand what is qualifying examination details as in the applicaiton it is clearly mentioned the marks obtianed in Class X, Class XI and ist semester of class XII and also that final result would be declared sometime in June, 2012. Since I failed to get any reply from DASA, I am bothering you for this information also.
Thanks a lot for your valuable guidance,
Regards
Anand
I really do not have access to DASA site (only candidates can access it) so not aware about specifics. Would appreciate if someone on the same boat can respond please.
Pretty sure that it's not first sem. They need the 12th standard board marks (i.e. school qualifying exam). Not just the 1st sem marks in 12. In case your child hasn't recieved it yet (as in the case of CBSE where the board result will be announced later this month), you can sign an undertaking saying that you'll give the marks later. So, until then, the qualifying exam details will be 'Not recieved'. The best thing to do would be contact DASA and enquire about it, with regard to your Application ID of course.
Mr. Anand , the qualifiying eaxamination detail is the final board exam result. In the DASA brochure if u read,under the heading refund, they is a small note in block letter saying tht if u’ve not yet received u’re qualying result then u have to send them letter sayin the statement written in tht note and sign it.
If u’ve already done tht, then the satus of u’re qualifying result will be updated when u send them the board results when u get them.
I hope thts wat u were looking for.
Respected Sir,
can u please tell me the minimum score i need to get in NIT-W or NIT-R ..mech.chem or elect
thank you in advance .
1800 for Rourkela. 1900 for elec in W.
Sir, Are placements offered to foreigners? I have heard from a source that only Indians are placed. My son would pursue Masters from US or Aus. Will a degree from any NIT be well reputed or are there only some fixed NIT's only? I am saying this because I am confused about what to give more preference. I would prefer NIT Durgapur because of its location i.e West Bengal and NIT Warangal because it is higher ranked. My son got 2310 in SAT 2.
As long as you have Indian passport, jobs are no issues in the campus.
For foriegners, very few companies would be interested due to visa issues. Top 4-5 NITs are well reputed.
what SAT score is necessary for NIT-trichy in mechanical or material science?
thank you,
KR
2250 for mech, 1800 for matl sc
Sir,
Apart from PEC and DTU which other colleges would u suggest in North india which are good in terms of placements as well as academic prospects.
MNNIT, IIIT-A, NIT-Jai, NIT-Kuru
Hello,
I have a question with the following:
"Candidates must have passed the qualifying examination i.e. senior secondary or any other examination equivalent to 12 years of schooling in India."
I am high school senior in the US. What would be the equivalent to the examination referred above? Should I just put down my high school diploma for the qualifying admissions portion?
Thanks,
Shilpa
Yes, High School Sr is equal to grade 12th.
Sir, I am currently an nri student studying in USA. I am applying for DASA and my first preference is NIT-Trichy. I wanted to know the possible score cutoff for mechanical, aeronautical, and materials science for this year batch.
Thank You,
Kaushik.
my son already appeared twice in SAT-2. He got 770 in math-2 and 600 in che in first attempt and scored 770 in phy and 770 in che and 600 in math-2 in second attempt. As per DASA guideline , his sat -2 score should be best score subjectwise ie 770 in each PCM , total 2310. please confirm .
my second question , what is his chance of getting mechanical in NIT-K , NIT-T . NIT-W for a score of 2310?
Yes, the best scores are 770 in each subject, hence a total of 2310. As per last year cut-off, you can get Mech in all 3 colleges (however, my guess this year is that K cut-off for mech would be 2340-2360). Keep the fingers crossed.
DTU only considers Maths and Phy scores for DASA. A score of 1500 is good (out of 1600)
Some sites say NIT warangal is better for placement and quality while some say Trichy is and others say Surathkal; what is your personal opinion?
The preference of AIEEE candidates for seats are quite good indication about the colleges. CBSE site and many other have posted the cut-oof rank for the institutes for AIEEE 2011 exam. The ranking is T>W>K. However, overseas candidate have many other priorities as well.
Dear sir,
If two students have the same SAT score, then on what basis will the rank be given???
Thanks
Please refer to DASA 2012 brochure posted on the main article and refer to clause 1.6.2
Sir,
I got a score of 2120.Can i get Mech/ECE/Civil/CSE in NIT -Calicut?What about NIT K?
Thanking you,
John
Yes for NIT-C. Scores not good enough for K
Sir,
How much sat score wud u suggest for chemical and civil eng in NITK?
and what do feel abt doing biotechnology in NITW ? Are there good placements?
for chem: 2200, for covil 1900. People choose biotech when they have full info on what they are doing, frankly I do not like it that that much.
Hey RT, great thread.!
I wanted to know if I can send my previous SAT test's scores now and then I could send you my May 5th SAT scores once it's out. I'm having a 1870 as the total of my October Test which makes me eligible for the admission process.
Thanks.
Yes, that should be fine.
Sir, Do you have latest ranking of NITs? Which NIT is good for CSE after Trichy, Warangal and Surathkhal?
For NIT rankings, please see AIEEe cut-off ranking (you can google it). After top 3 , following are also good: MNNIT, NIT-C, PEC,IIIT-A
IIIT-H is infact better than all new IITs (more students below 1000 AIR in AIEEE join IIIT-H than all NITs and new IITs)
Dear Raj
Super blog. Thanks for all the help and info. I would just like to know;
with around 77% in my 12th boards, will it be possible for me to get a schoarship by EdCil or MOA by that diaspora scheme? And what does it amount to? I cannot find any information on their website for this academic year.
Also i would like to know whether if i dont get NITK is W and T comparable in terms of placements and recommendations for higher studies abraod maybe? T
Thanks boss 🙂
With your score, no chances for the scholarship. K, T and W are all awesome and are comparable on all counts.
Sir,
My son's Sat -II score is 2160. Is he likely to get admission in CSE in PEC and NIT, W under DASA.
Regards,
For a score of 2160, good chance to get in W followed by PEC.
Dear sir,
Will a score of 1800 guarantee a seat in biotechnology NITW in the first merit list?
Good chances. As for guarantee, could have given one if the scores were 2000+.
The scores are good. Both have good placements, IIIT has slightly better ranking.
But according to India today and Outlook, DTU has higher ranking..
And Im asking in terms of comp sci only.. Also, which of the two will provide better campus life?
College ranking is pretty debatable topic. I normally refer to AIEEE cut-off ranking for the colleges for objectivity wherein IIIT-H cut-off is very high in terms of AIEEE AIR ranking amongst all AIEEE colleges. Campus life is subjective choice where I prefer Delhi, however, faculty in Hyd is best with most number of PhDs.
Hello Sir/Madam,
My son has got 2140 in SAT-II and her intends to apply for Mechanical or Computer Science. In which reputed college in South or North India can he get admission? (although he prefers south India more)
Secondly, which NIIT is good from communication to airport perspective as he is not accustomed to travel in Indian railways.
Appreciate your suggestions.
Regards,
Good chances in all but NIT-K &T. Many NRI parents really share your likings for a metro-airport connectivity. NIT-K, DTU, IIIT-H, PEC, Jaipur are good for air-connectivity.
Hello,
Where or how my son can get old SAT subject papers for Phy. Ch and Maths II? He lives in UAE.
Regards,

sir, i got a score of 1850 in SAT 2. I was originally planning to write sat in may, but unfortunately there were no seats in my country. I wanted to ask..will it be of any use if i write SAT in June? and also, with a score of 1850, which universities can I get into for CSE or Civil Engineering.Thanks.
June exam will not be considered. Except for top 5-6 colleges noted in the main article, you could qualify in all others.
sir please help me i have already given my sat test on dec 3 2011 but i havent yet send score to dasa.if i send the scores now will it work for me or do i have to give new exam for it. please report fast sir.
SAT subject test scores have to be submitted through College Board to NITK. No need to give new exam, ask CollegeBoard to send your scores to the NITK code as listed on dasanit.org website
Sir,
My SAT 2 score is 1700.Is there any chance for me to get Mechanical Engineering?If not,any other branch?
Thanks.
You can get admission to all except top 6-7 colleges. Please refer to the main article for the top colleges. Please consider that I don’t want to be specific for obvious reasons for the benefit of current batch and future batches.
Dear Raj,
My son is a US national and has OCI. He studied upto 8th Grade in US and from 9th grade he is studying in India (CBSE). He is awaiting for his CBSE 12th final results.
Our understanding/interpretation of the DASA 2012 brochure is that the residential requirements are for NRIs and not for Foreign Nationals category. (Means FNs can either reside/study in abroad or India).
We as well know few foreign national under the same category, as ours, who got admissted to NIT K last year, 2011. So, we believe, based on his foriegn nationality status he is eligible for DASA.
You may please confirm/correct our above understanding.
In Oct/Nov 2011, my son scored a SAT2 of 2370 (800-MCII, 800-P and 770 C).
– Can he expect to get EE / Computer Science & Engineering / ECE at NIT K? His branch preference is likely tobe EE -> CSE -> ECE. Where as EE & ECE are established engineeging streams, relative to CSE, what would be your recommendation for the top institute for CSE under DASA Scheme?
When it comes to CSE
– NIT K doesn't offer CSE but it offers CE (Computer Engineering), do you think it would be different than CSE program or NIT T or NIT W? Means is it a just a branch name or more to it?
DTU:
As DTU doesn't come under DASA, (but uses SAT2 scores) is it good to pursue CSE at DTU rather than NITs? What additional benefits DTU offers compared to NIT K / NIT T?
(Based on the Website info, the EE at DTU didn't appear as a top notch institute for EE. But it may be a good one for CSE).
Future Growth:
Please also consider the amount of research that an institute undertakes while assessing the academic life in NIT K / NIT T / NIT W / DTU.
Among these above 4 institutes, which one will offer the student a better scope/recognition to pursue Masters in Engineering / Technology / Management in top Universities in US (say like MIT / CalTech).
Social life:
Among NIT K, NIT T, NIT W and DTU what would be a recommmended one that balances student's college life, Academic, infrastructure, food, extra curricular and social life? [After all the student needs to enjoy the institute as much as possible. We study UG engineering only once for a life :-)]
Sorry, a bit lengthy request. Hope you should be able to put your thoughts and help us.
Regards
Mohan
DASA have finally changed rules that OCI/FN can sudy anywhere for DASA eligibility. With your score, you could choose your colleges.. Personally I like NIT-T and DTU for their high rankings. All top 4 NITs + pec and DTU have good reputation for US Masters. The colleges are only one part of eligibilty for masters in USA, there are many related to individual merits.
I have just written the 12th boards and I have a SAT2 subject test score of 2280. I have some queries :
1) The Sat 2 score of november 5 exam was sent twice by collegeboard to DASA. Does it matter?
2) What score do you suggest for admission in NITK and NIT trichi for ECE, ME , CSE for 2012 admissions.
3) What are the chances of me getting admission into them?
Regards
Abhinav
1) It doesn’t matter
2) 2350+ and 2200+
3) Pl refere to line item 2 above.

Hi Mr. Tyagi
You are doing a great job. For a SAT score of 2390 , kindly advice : Which is the best engineering course that can be taken with bright future prospects? Which is the NIT that can be choosen for this course ? What is the money that is to be paid while filling up the admission forms to NIT ?
I am impressed with all who have scored 2350+ as they can choose what they like. IIIT-H/NIT-T/DTU/NIT-K. For money part, please refer DASA rules.
Dear Raj,
Since my son is not likely to score good marks in CBSE class 12 and doubtful about SAT subject performance, I tried other options in advance and applied in 3 places for mechanical engg. SRM, VIT and Manipal uni. All three have given provisional admission in just couple of days. Are these universities OK by good standards if i dont get seat under NIIT – DASA ? Any views on these 3 ? Tks
Kahan raja Bhoj, aur kahan Gangu teli. Please try to get admission to top 4-5 NITs if you could. (sorry for hurting anyone’s feelings- I cannot resist it as there is simply no comparison of top 4-5 NITs with any private colleges)
