If your ICAR AICE JRF SRF 2026 admit card shows a wrong name, incorrect date of birth, or a mismatched photo, report the error to NTA immediately — the exam is scheduled for July 4, 2026.
NTA releases the ICAR AICE JRF SRF admit card on its official portal at exams.nta.nic.in/icar/. Errors on the hall ticket — a misspelled name, wrong date of birth, gender mismatch, or a blurred photograph — cannot be changed online after the form correction window closes. NTA, however, allows you to report such discrepancies and, in most cases, appear for the exam with a grievance confirmation and original identity proof.
- The ICAR AICE JRF SRF 2026 exam is scheduled for July 4, 2026, conducted in CBT mode.
- A wrong name or DOB does not bar exam entry — carry your grievance confirmation and original ID proof.
- Report errors to NTA at icar@nta.ac.in or call 011-40759000.
- For photo mismatch, carry two fresh passport-size photographs to the exam centre.
- Cross-check all details against your Class 10 certificate or Aadhaar card immediately after downloading the admit card.
Common Errors on ICAR AICE JRF SRF 2026 Admit Card
Most errors on the ICAR AICE JRF SRF admit card trace back to typos or incorrect data entered in the original application form. The table below lists the most frequently reported discrepancies and their impact at the exam centre.
| Error Type | Likely Cause | Impact at Exam Centre |
|---|---|---|
| Wrong name spelling | Typo during registration | Carry Class 10 certificate or Aadhaar showing correct name |
| Incorrect date of birth | Digit transposition while filling the form | Carry Class 10 marksheet with correct DOB |
| Blurred or mismatched photo | Low-resolution or wrong image uploaded | Carry two fresh passport-size photographs |
| Wrong gender | Incorrect option selected at registration | Report to NTA helpdesk immediately |
| Wrong exam centre | Technical allotment issue | Report to NTA; centre changes are rare but possible in genuine cases |
| Category mismatch (UR / OBC / SC / ST) | Wrong category selected during registration | Report immediately — affects reservation benefits and fellowship eligibility |
NTA freezes application data after the form correction window closes. Any error that survived that window will not appear corrected on the printed admit card, but NTA records the grievance against your application number for exam-day clearance.
How to Report Admit Card Errors to NTA
As soon as you download the admit card from exams.nta.nic.in/icar/, compare every printed detail against your original documents. If you find any discrepancy, report it through official NTA channels without delay.
- Visit exams.nta.nic.in/icar/ and log in with your application number and password.
- Locate the Grievance or Query section on your dashboard.
- Select the error type — name, DOB, photo, gender — from the drop-down menu.
- Upload a supporting document: Class 10 certificate for name or DOB errors; Aadhaar or passport for photo mismatch.
- Submit the grievance and save the ticket number for follow-up.
- Alternatively, email icar@nta.ac.in or call 011-40759000 with your application number and a scanned copy of the supporting document.
Submit your grievance at least seven days before July 4, 2026 to allow NTA enough time to review and respond. Grievances raised within 48 hours of the exam may not receive a resolution before exam day.
Steps to Fix Name, DOB or Photo Errors
The correction route depends on whether the NTA form correction window is still open or has already closed.
If the form correction window is open:
- Log in at exams.nta.nic.in/icar/ with your application credentials.
- Navigate to the Application Form Correction section on your dashboard.
- Edit the incorrect field — name, DOB, photo, or gender.
- Upload the corrected supporting document (Class 10 certificate for name or DOB; a fresh photograph for photo replacement).
- Pay any applicable correction fee, submit, and download the revised confirmation page.
If the form correction window is closed:
- Download and print the admit card; circle the incorrect field clearly.
- Write a short letter to NTA stating your application number, the error, and the correct value.
- Get the letter self-attested or notarized, and attach a self-attested copy of your original document (Class 10 for name or DOB; Aadhaar or passport for photo).
- Email to icar@nta.ac.in with subject line: Admit Card Error — Application No. [Your Number] — ICAR AICE JRF SRF 2026.
- Carry all originals and the grievance confirmation to the exam centre on July 4, 2026.
What to Do on Exam Day if Error Is Not Fixed
If NTA has not updated your admit card before exam day, do not skip the exam. Follow these steps at the centre:
- Arrive at least 30 minutes early so the invigilator has time to review your case before the exam starts.
- Show the grievance confirmation — email thread or ticket number — as proof the error was reported to NTA.
- Present the original document showing the correct data: Class 10 marksheet for name or DOB; Aadhaar or passport for photo verification.
- The invigilator will note the discrepancy on the attendance sheet and usually allow you to sit for the exam with an endorsement.
- For a photo mismatch, carry two fresh passport-size photographs; the invigilator may paste one on the attendance sheet after verifying your identity.
- If entry is refused, escalate calmly to the Centre Superintendent — do not argue with invigilating staff.
NTA’s standard practice is to allow students with minor documented discrepancies to appear for the exam. Entry refusals are uncommon when you carry complete supporting documentation.
