ICAR AIEEA PG 2026 is scheduled for June 28, 2026 — once the exam ends, the process moves immediately to result declaration, counselling registration, choice filling, and seat allotment at ICAR-Deemed Universities and State Agricultural Universities (SAUs) across India.
NTA will publish the result on the official portal within weeks of the exam. Students who qualify are then called for centralised online counselling conducted by ICAR, covering choice filling, seat allotment, document verification, and fee payment at the allotted university. Knowing what to expect at each stage helps you stay ahead of every deadline.
- Exam date: June 28, 2026 — result expected within 2–4 weeks post-exam.
- Counselling is conducted online by ICAR for M.Sc., M.V.Sc., and M.F.Sc. programs at ICAR-Deemed Universities and SAUs.
- Seat allotment takes place in multiple rounds — typically 2 main rounds plus a mop-up round.
- Document verification is done at the allotted university, not at a central venue.
- Keep your category certificate, degree marksheets, and admit card ready before counselling registration opens.

ICAR AIEEA PG 2026 Result and Scorecard
NTA releases the ICAR AIEEA PG result on the official portal, typically within two to four weeks of the exam date. The result includes your subject score, normalised score (where applicable), and All India Rank (AIR). A separate rank card is issued for counselling registration.
Log in with your application number and date of birth to download your scorecard. Print at least two copies — one for document verification and one as your personal record. Your AIR determines which universities and programs are accessible during counselling, so compare your rank against previous-year closing ranks for your target institutions before choice filling opens.

Seat Allotment Rounds and What to Expect
ICAR AIEEA PG counselling typically runs in two to three rounds. Here is how each round works:
| Round | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Round 1 | First allotment based on AIR and locked choice order. Students allotted a seat must accept and pay the acceptance fee to retain it. |
| Round 2 | Seats vacated after Round 1 through rejections or non-payment are re-allotted. Students may receive an upgrade to a higher-preference choice if a vacancy exists. |
| Mop-Up or Spot Round | Remaining vacant seats are filled. Fresh registration may be required. Students who accepted a seat in an earlier round may not be eligible to participate. |
Allotment follows AIR and category-wise reservation: SC (15%), ST (7.5%), OBC-NCL (27%), and EWS (10%). Fill the maximum number of valid choices — a longer choice list significantly reduces the risk of going unallotted in Round 1 and improves upgrade chances in Round 2.
