    Did your son ultimately appear for WBJEE?

    The 2019 rules say that the candidate must be a citizen of India. The document is silent about PIO/OCI. In fact, I am right now in your situation and seeking an answer. Other exams, like IISER/NISER, NEET etc. have clarified that OCI candidates can appear for the exams.

    Now I am also confused. :-( Though he is going to appear in 2020, not sure where we can get a confirmatory answer. Let me check. In the interim, let me know in case you find the answer.
