Hi saikat sir,
You son will come along under general category and will ranked along with Indian citizens.
Eligibility (with minimum of 50%of marks) criteria are same for the OCI card holder .
Best wishes to your sir... upvotes ...

Thank you for your quick response. In that case for getting admission to any NIT, IIIT, will he be treated as any other general candidate and his fee structure will be like any Indian citizen?
