Hi Joel,

Since the JEE was split in 2014, the oci cardholders have lost out on the opportunity to sit for the IIT entrance test. Foreign, Overseas Citizenship of India ( OCI) and Person of Indian Origin (PIO) category students are not eligible for admission to NITs, IIITs, and other centrally-funded institutions through JEE (Main).

Sorry to say but you cant write your exam.

All the best for your future.
