G. Sub, I believe Indian kids in UK outdo their white counterparts in all standardized tests, administered both publicly and privately. White IQ in UK is supposed to be at 100, therefore your estimation of 97 should be a little higher than 100. Only people who outdo Indians in UK are Chinese, but by very little. I would say UK presents us with best environment for estimating avg Indian IQ, since background of UK Indian immigrants is not extracted from upper caste alone, like it is in the US.

In school performance Indian kids outperform White UK kids
However since no formal IQ test has been done, since 1997
IQ should track school performance and I can make a guess
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/education/294078.stm
Five GCSEs at grades A to C were achieved by 54% of Indian pupils and 61% of Chinese and other Asian pupils in 1998, compared to 47% of white pupils.
From Above, Indian kids in UK are performing midway between Whites, IQ = 100 and Chinese IQ = 108
A linear interpolation will give an IQ of 104 for a caste mix of jat sikhs and patels
This is 1998 data
