    I suggest that you check the specific institution's website before taking admission to get detailed information, because every university may have its own set of rules and policies regarding OCI admissions.

    As per my knowledge, when it comes to schooling in India, there is absolutely no difference between an OCI, an NRI, and an Indian citizen. All they require is some documents to prove their DOB identity and other essential credentials.
