Dear Sir/Madam, My son is an OCI card holder and has been studying in India for the past 10 years. He is currently in 12th class and is preparing to get admission into IIT (Indian Institutes of Technology). We have been living in India and paying taxes in India. Admission policy of IITs says: Seats allotted to foreign nationals are supernumerary. However, not all Institutes may have supernumerary seats. The availability of supernumerary seats will be announced at the time of seat allocation. This means foreigners and OCIs will be allotted supernumerary seats as per availability, but not allotted seats as mainstream candidates. As per OCI act in 2005 (moia.gov.in/writereaddata/pdf/2005_oci.pdf), OCIs should be treated on par with NRIs in the field of education. But the policy of IITs for admissions seems to conflict with the OCI act. Can you please help us in correcting this and OCIs be treated as regular candidates and be allotted seats in with mainstream quota. thank you
