hello sir,
i would like to express my gratitude for such great and important
information you have provided all of us and it is seriously of great
help.SAT-2 as i have hear from my friends who are doing IB and
have given it already, is relatively very easy , In fact many of my friends
have scored in the range of 770-800 in pcm , so i reckon tht it should
be easy as the likes of cbse nd ISC are much tougher than this.
sir i have few questions in my mind-

1. I have done my education from an indian school in singapore , and
would be moving to delhi for undergrad, recently i had seen on
HINDUSTAN TIMES tht DTU/DCE has recently allocated seats for
NRIs/pios , but the same info hasnt been updated on their website ,
do u have any info regardin tht?…
2. which engineering option would be viable?…ECE? IT? ya mechanical?
whats their scope???
3. and which are the best colleges in delhi for engineering ,baring IIT ND DCE n NSIT?

  I agree that SAT II exam is easy and would also like to state that getting 800 in 3 subjects is tough. Till 2003, when IIT used SAT II scores for NRIs (this is no longer the case as IITs have no NRI quota now), one needed to score 3 perfect 800 to get Computers. This year I expect the same i.e. 2400 score for NITK-ECE or CSE.
  1) As of now, no such scheme offered by DCE for NRI.
  2) The top 5 branches are ECE, CSE, Mech, EEE, IT
  3) I would not recommend any other college in Delhi barring the ones you listed.

Sir,

At the very outset – your post really does make it simple for confused students like myself! Thanks a ton!
There is, however, a loophole I face to which I can find no answer…..and hence I turn to you.

As mentioned above, the Eligibility for the Quota in NITs etc. is :

must be Foreign Nationals/Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) studying in any country (including India).

However, nowhere is the eligibility for OCI (Overseas Citizens of India) mentioned.

The OCI card (which supplements the passport) mentions that OCI holders enjoy benefits equal to those of NRIs with reference to educational fields and a few others, but would there be a specific way to double-check the same ?

Thank-you

  Dear Nakhare,
  
  Since DASA scheme includes both Foreign Nationals and NRI, you can apply in either category. I guess the rules with regard to place of studies for 11/12th std is favourable in case of Foreign National, FN category will suit you better.

Yes. SAT II subjects test scores are independent of each other. You should be able to ‘pick and choose’ the score for submission for DASA as NITK notice doesn’t say anything about sending the scores electronically to them (in any case, wait for more clarity on 1 Apr 10). However, US colleges ask the scores to be submitted directly thru CollegeBoard and all attempt’s scores go to the chosen colleges who pick per their own rules.

Sir,

Thanks for the latest update regarding DASA scheme..

My daughter has already written SAT II in oct 2009. and her scores are Math 780, Chem 800, and phy 780. i want to know that to get the stream of course what she wants, is these scores enogh? or does she has to appear again to improve in phy and math… b’cos those are the subjects looked upon when the scores are same with one or more students and also to know how the scores will be taken into account, in case of one or more sat test scores… is it the latest one get considered?/ or the best of all..

Kindly clarify
Thanks

I am still not getting answer to my query whether NITK shall consider the best of the individual subject score . That is if somebody is appearing both on first may and fifth june for all the subjects Can we do pick and choose to slect best of the marks in individual subjects.

Is it possible to get from college board the scores both by e mail as well as through post ?

Appreciate the response who have some valuable input on these points.

Dear Alok,
Dasa rules on document submission is bit vague as it asks to submit ‘authenticated transcript’ of all documents. What it probabily means is you take a printed copy of the online score, take a photocopy and go to embassy to ‘authenticate’ the photocopy document. The best way is to ask NITK as to what to do with online score.

Dear Rao,

The revised DASA rules specify Mathematics Level II exam. The letter ‘C’ in IC or IIC specify that calculators are allowed for the exam.

Just for the sake of clarity (though Level I is not accepted by DASA), Level I exam covers smaller/easier syllabus but that also means that scoring 800 would be tough. For example, a score of about 45 out of 50 questions in Level II can earn a score of perfect 800 but in Level I exam one needs to score 48-49 correct to get a perfect 800 as lot of students push the bar of 800 score higher.

Response from NITK

Dear Sir,
Yes, we accept the hardcopy of the SAT II score as well. We are also making arrangements to get the scores directly from CollegeBoard too.

Thanks a lot Mr Puri. Such feedback actually helps each one of us.

Dear Suresh,

When the choice has been given to the applicant to print the score he likes (i.e. no electronic submissions to NITK), you can print the score you like most. All subject tests given even on the same day are independent entity. Finally, to cleaR your doubt 100% on the subject, you may contact NITK.
Collegeboard can send the score the way you like (online or post). You can also change the delivery by paying extra fee.

Today, there had been an attempt to hack/hijack this blog thru comments submission. Looks like some agent for MBBS NRI seats broker wants this blog for selling NRI seats . We are forced to close the comment submission on temporary basis for security reasons. We humbly request all boarders to please standby for normal operation.

Raj
