Hi Joel,

Since the JEE was split in 2014, the oci cardholders have lost out on the opportunity to sit for the IIT entrance test. Foreign, Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) and Person of Indian Origin (PIO) category students are not eligible for admission to NITs, IIITs, and other centrally-funded institutions through JEE (Main).

Sorry to say but you cant write your exam. 

All the best for your future.
