Hello aspirant ,

Yes...PIO/OCI cardholders are eligible for getting admission in NITs/IIITs/ Other-GFTIs through JEE mains.....

PIO/ OCI candidates will be considered as General (GEN) or GEN-PwD (persons with disabilities) and seat allotted to them are OPEN or OPEN-PwD.....

KCET is a state-level offline Entrance Exam held for admissions of Indian and NRI students into Engineering (B.Tech / B.Arch), Pharmacy (B.Pharm), Farm Science, AYUSH & Medicine courses in various govt.

Yes....Only OCI Students are eligible to appear for KCET....

eligibility criteria for KCET Exam for B.Tech / B.E. courses

  • The applicant must be a citizen of India.
  • Applicant must have passed Class 12/2nd PUC or any equivalent exam with Maths & Physics as mandatory subjects.
  • Applicant must have a 3rd mandatory subject out of - Biology/Chemistry/Bio-Technology/ Electronics/Computer Science with a language subject English.
