Hi guys, I need some help regarding IIIT Hyderabad DASA eligibility.

I’m currently studying in the USA and planning to apply to IIIT Hyderabad through DASA for the 2027–28 academic year. I meet the other eligibility requirements, but I’m confused about the Chemistry requirement.

I completed Chemistry in 10th grade instead of 11th or 12th grade. Does that still satisfy the PCM requirement, or does Chemistry specifically need to appear in my 11th/12th-grade coursework?

Just to be safe, I’m planning to take a Chemistry course through College Credit Plus (CCP) during 12th grade, so the course and grade will appear on my 12th-grade transcript.

If I do need Chemistry in 12th grade, does any regular college Chemistry course count, or does it need to be a specific type of Chemistry course, such as General Chemistry? ***Or is the Chemistry course I already completed in 10th grade enough?***

If anyone has applied to IIITH through DASA from a U.S. high school or has dealt with a similar situation, I’d really appreciate your help. Thanks! And one more question what SAT score do I really need to get into CSE? is 1550 enough? PLESE HELP GUYS!!!!

Hi everyone,

I'm an NRI student with an Indian passport studying at a U.S. high school and I'm planning to apply to IIIT Hyderabad through the DASA/SAT route.

My academics are:

• Grade 10: Chemistry and Biology (all A's)
• Grade 11: Physics, AP CALC AB
• Grade 12: AP Physics C, AP CLAC BC

My high school follows the U.S. curriculum, where Chemistry is normally taken in 10th grade rather than in 11th and 12th like the Indian PCM system.

I noticed that IIIT-H mentions a PCM requirement, so I'm worried whether having Chemistry in 10th grade instead of 11th/12th could create an eligibility issue.

Has anyone from a U.S. high school background been admitted through DASA/SAT with a similar course structure? Also, if additional Chemistry coursework is needed, would a College Credit Plus (CCP) Chemistry course from a community college be accepted?

Please help, worked really hard for this, any experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.U.S. High School Student with Chemistry in 10th Grade
