Sub: Application under the RTI Act, 2005 Sir, 1. OCI are granted general parity with NRI in education. An NRI 12th grade student from middle east in ICSE 12th grade can attend JEE Main and JEE advanced and get an admission to an IIT /NIT . He can also write the AIPMT and get an admission in the 15% allocated national seats in the medical colleges . Can an OCI studying for 12th grade in India and resident in India for the past 7 years do the same . 2. If not why is that so 3. What do you mean by general parity with NRI in education . 4 Will applying in general category for IIT/NIT in general category fall in the general parity consideration. 5 Is there any way an OCI can do higher education in NIT without going through DASA Thank You Thresiamma
