Many of the NRI Candidates and Parents are asking this similar question. People are really confused about the eligibility criteria for DASA and CIWG Candidates. So here I am sharing this information based on the Latest DASA Brochure. 

Can NRI studying in India take admission in Indian Universities?

Yes, If any of the NRI Candidates studying his class 11th or 12th from India then he can take admission through NRI Quota. But they cannot take admission under DASA or CIWG Scheme.

Confused?? Let's take an example to solve this confusion.

But, If a student completed his 11th and 12th from abroad and then he wants to attempt JEE Main, Then only he can take advantage of DASA Quota, And if he belongs to UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, Qatar, Bahrain, or Oman. Then he can enjoy CIWG Quota benefits.
