Why is there an NRI quota in BIT Mesra?

The most important point to note is that NRI admissions at BIT Mesra are not done under the DASA scheme. As to why there is an NRI quota at BIT Mesra, many NRIs prefer to follow the Indian curriculum for their children’s schooling. As a result, these children sometimes choose to continue with their higher studies in an Indian college/ university. Thus, many institutions reserve a certain number of seats for NRIs. 

Getting NRI students to study in India is a way of improving the economic state of the country as NRI students pay a lot higher fees for the same degree. It is a win-win situation for both because the cost of higher studies is way more in other countries as compared to India. Also, getting NRI students to study in Indian universities improves the chances of them working in India and contributing to the growth of the nation.

This is the reason why there is an NRI quota in BIT Mesra and many other colleges/universities in India.
