DASA Rank Predictor 2026 – Predict NIT/IIIT Admission via JEE Main Rank
Understand how DASA 2026 admission chances are estimated from JEE Main rank for foreign nationals, NRI, PIO and OCI candidates applying to NITs, IIITs and SPAs
What Is DASA 2026?
DASA (Direct Admission of Students Abroad) is the dedicated admission scheme that lets foreign nationals, Persons of Indian Origin (PIO), Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) and NRIs secure undergraduate seats at NITs, IIITs, SPAs and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutes. There is no separate DASA exam. The official DASA UG 2026 brochure (version 1.5, csab.nic.in) allots seats on the basis of a valid JEE Main 2026 rank, along with Class 12 (or equivalent) marks of 75 percent. SAT is not used.
Because DASA seats are supernumerary and drawn from a much smaller, globally distributed applicant pool than JoSAA, DASA closing ranks are not comparable to JoSAA closing ranks. The 2026 cycle had two allotment rounds.
How a DASA Rank/Admission Predictor Works
A DASA predictor starts from one input: your JEE Main 2026 rank (Paper 1 for B.E./B.Tech, Paper 2A for B.Arch, Paper 2B for B.Planning). DASA uses the Common Rank List as it is and applies no tie-breaking rule. Your rank, category tag (SAARC, Non-SAARC or CIWG), choice order and seat availability then decide the seat you are given.
Since DASA closing ranks depend on how many foreign, NRI and OCI candidates apply and on supernumerary seats per program, treat any prediction as an approximate band, not a guarantee. We do not list closing ranks here because we did not verify an official table for 2026. Check round-wise opening and closing ranks on the official DASA portal (csab.nic.in) and in the brochure, and use the DASA mock allocation to test your choices.
To compare your JEE Main rank with institute-wise data, use our college predictor tool and then confirm against the official DASA ranks.
