Supernumerary quota is the quota launched by AICTE to offer the high quality education for economically weaker students in the engineering colleges across India. Apart from the DASA quota, DASA also occupies 15% of the supernumerary quota allotted by each college. In that 15%, the supernumerary quota of CIWG is 5%. The vacant seats left in the CIWG supernumerary quota will automatically switch into the DASA supernumerary quota.
Yeah, you have to pay the first semester tuition fee (it depends on your admission stream) along with the registration fee (300 USD). Your application process won’t be finished until you pay the semester tuition fee.

Yeah, you can pay the fee via SWIFT or E-Payment for the DASA/CIWG account.
SWIFT payments are a type of international transfer sent through the SWIFT international payment network. Whereas, E-Payment (Electronic Payment) is simply defined as paying for goods/products/services on the internet.
It depend on the admission stream you fall into. Let me elucidate all the admission streams and their fees in detail.
Yeah, you can apply to the DASA quota along with the CIWG quota while registration.
It takes 10 days to process. But in some cases, it might take 2-3 weeks to process the SWIFT transfer. Just ensure if the details you entered while transaction are correct or not.
You’ll be fully refunded, if you withdraw your DASA application before the application deadline.
You’ll be refunded 50% of the total fee if you withdraw your DASA application after the application deadline.
If DASA senses any eligibility issue while processing the application, they’ll deny your application and process you the full refund.
You’ll not be refunded a penny, if you won’t be able to submit the academics r other documents in time.
There are four more cases, you won’t be refunded a penny. The 4 cases are as follows:
Once DASA allots the seat, you have to accept the allotment within the prescribed duration. You’ll be refunded 50% of the tuition fee if you fail to accept and you’ll be tossed out of the DASA admission that year. You won’t even be eligible to apply for Round 4 & Spot Round.
No, you won’t be refunded a penny if you leave the college after attending the first semester or even in the middle of the first semester. Here’s the other case you won’t get a penny: DASA requires all the below-mentioned details to process the refund amount via Email or other means. Here’s the list:
Answer: Yes, DASA Scheme as well as its subset (the CIWG Scheme) will be available for admissions in the academic year 2022-23.
By applying under these scheme, students can take admissions in NITs, IIITs, CFIs & SPAs. The only difference from 2022 is that JEE Main Rank will be considered valid, not SAT 2.
Answer: No. As notified on the official website of DASA, SAT 2 Scores or SAT Subject Scores will no longer be valid from 2022 onwards to take admissions under DASA & CIWG Scheme.
Answer: The benefit with JEE is that the students who happen to be eligible for JEE Advanced (decided on the basis of JEE Main Results), can take JEE Advanced Exams to try for admissions in IITs, the most premier engineering Institute in India.
The same wasn’t possible with SAT 2 because IITs dont intake students on the basis of SAT 2 Scores. If students can’t clear JEE Advanced, they can still take admissions in NITs, IIITs, CFIs & SPAs on the basis of JEE Main Rank.
The eligibility criteria for DASA 2022 & CIWG 2022 will remain the same as it is for 2020 or 2019. There are no changes in the eligibility criteria yet announced officially by DASA. Visit here, to check your DASA Eligibility.
Answer: NRI, PIO, OCI Students who are in grade 11th (in 2019) and will be appearing for grade 12th final exams in 2022, are eligible for JEE 2022 to apply under the DASA 2022.
If you are in grade 12th (in 2019), you must be appearing for grade 12th final exams in 2020. Hence you will be giving SAT 2 for applying under DASA 2020.
If in case you wish to take an year extra just for exam preparation, then the year will be 2022 & hence you will have to take JEE Main to apply under DASA 2022.
Ans: Because DASA released this notification on 4th of April on its official website (https://dasanit.org/). There are 100% chance that this notification is a final one.
No detailed circular has been released as of now but as soon as any such updates arrive, you can find them on our website.
Answer: This is completely unpredictable. But there seems to be less chance that it will be withdrawn. The NRI, PIO, OCI Students who wish to apply for DASA / CIWG 2022 (& years after 2022) must start preparing for JEE Main.
Answer: No changes have been made in the qualifying exam criteria for DASA 2022. Students must have a minimum of 60%, or equivalent, in Grade 12 Exams (of their respective boards) & must have successfully completed Maths, Physics and one of the subjects from (Chemistry, Biotechnology, Computer Science, Biology) in Grade 11th & 12th.
Answer: The applicants must be thoroughly aware of the syllabus & pattern i.e. revolving around the NCERT textbooks for class 11th & 12th.
This is because JEE Syllabus is based on the NCERT Text books. The students must also practice using various reference books /online test series/ JEE coaching online/ mock tests/ previous years papers in order to crack JEE 2022 for applying under DASA 2021 or CIWG 2021.
Answer: The JEE cutoff varies every year because of the percentile system. Hence, the exact cut off cannot be mentioned. Every year, JEE cutoff is announced at the time of JEE Result Declaration & it is valid only for that particular year.
Answer: Based on the tough competition students have in India, it is very necessary for students to make extra efforts to clear JEE Main or Advanced. In India, when science students enter grade 11th, they take up tuitions or coaching to help them prepare for JEE Main.
Because the JEE Syllabus is based on NCERT Textbooks which are used in Grade 11th & 12th, it also helps them prepare for their school exams / board exams. Ideally, 2 years of JEE preparation (coaching, previous 40 years questions practice, test series) is needed for students who want to clear JEE Main.
Hence, it is highly recommended for NRI , PIO, OCI Students to take JEE Coaching if they wish to secure a seat in NITs, IIITs, CFIs or SPAs under DASA / CIWG Scheme 2022.
Answer: Whether you are an NRI Student residing in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Singapore, or anywhere in the world,
Testprepkart has been providing online coaching for JEE & various other entrance exams with proven results. Our online classes are live & completely interactive encouraging the interactions between students and the teachers. We also equip our students with up to date study materials, online test series, doubt clearing sessions. You can book a free demo session with us.
Answer: Observing this pattern of how DASA has been allowing NRI Students to submit their SAT 2 scores through their college board account, there are high chances that from session 2022-23 onwards, NRI Students might be made to submit their JEE Main Rank to DASA through their JEE Main account.
