<p><strong>1. The Scheme </strong></p> <p>This is the direct admission scheme for the student belonging to any foreign country, non-resident Indian, and person of Indian origin under the various Academic program of NCHMCT in the IHMs under its Academic Umbrella and its NOIDA campus.</p> <p><strong>2. Introduction</strong></p> <p>A DASA scheme was introduced by the Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India in 2001 to make the admission process of such candidates a uniform standard for premier Engineering Colleges. The Scheme was later on adopted by other technical and professional Institutions for their guidance. Initially Ed.CIL (a GoI undertaking) was made a single window for such purpose to fulfill all the codal formalities before admission. Institute those who were able to complete the codal admission formalities as per the guidelines, were also permitted to continue to take admission without the assistance of Ed.CIL. The present scheme has both options i.e. admission of such students through Ed.CIL or marketed by the IHM itself.</p> <p><strong>3. Objectives</strong></p> <p>The main objective of the scheme is to popularise Academic programs beyond the Indian boundary and to get International recognition.</p> <p><strong>4. Sub-Scheme, if any</strong></p> <ul> <li>Reserved Quota for the candidates belonging to SAARC Countries as decided under the Colombo Plan and the number of quotas revised from time to time by the special committee on Tourism of the SAARC Countries.</li> <li>One reserved seat for the students of each Least Developed Countries (LDC), to be sponsored by the Government of India. (List of the Least Developed Countries is published by United Nations on their website after verifying the development status of the country)</li> <li>Students from any foreign country beyond the above said quotas including the students from SAARC and LD countries.</li> <li>Students who are originally Indian, holding an Indian Passport but residing in a foreign country during the last six years or more, and also declared NRI as per the definition mentioned in 5.2 below. Students who are Persons of Indian Origin who held a passport in a country other than Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka and were provided with an Overseas Citizen of India Card (previously PIO Card) by Govt. of India.</li> </ul> <p><strong>5. Definition of FN/ NRI/ PIO</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>FN</strong> – Foreign nationals are called person who has citizenship of a country other than India and holds a passport of their respective country. Therefore, the citizens of SAARC and LDC countries are also Foreign Nationals. If a foreign National passes the required qualifying exam (i.e. 12th equivalent) from India, even then they will be considered for admission under the FN category.</li> <li><strong>NRI</strong> – Candidates who have Indian Citizenship and hold an Indian Passport but have at least three years of education inclusive of 11th and 12th or equivalent (not beyond) in a foreign country during the last six years and passing the qualifying exam (i.e. 12thequivalent), required for admission from abroad. (Authority No.F.22- 12/2007-TS.III dated 28.01.2008)</li> <li><strong>PIO</strong> - Students who are Persons of Indian Origin, who held a passport in a country other than Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Nepal, Pakistan, or Sri Lanka and are provided with an Overseas Citizen of India Card (previously PIO Card) by Govt. of India. If a PIO passes the qualifying exam (i.e. 12th equivalent) from India, even then they will be considered for admission under this category.</li> </ul> <p><strong>6.

A list of the LD Countries has been published on the website UN.</p> <p><strong>8. Institutes where direct admission of FN/ NRI/ PIO is on offer</strong></p> <p>Direct admission in various courses is on offer in the following Institutes:</p> <ul> <li>At NCHMCT’s NOIDA Campus</li> <li>At all the Central Govt. sponsored IHMs</li> <li>At all such State Sponsored and PSU-owned IHMs, who are considered suitable to handle such students and are willing also</li> <li>At all such State-sponsored FCIs who are considered suitable to handle such students and are willing also</li> </ul> <p><strong>9.
