Unfortunately, without specific information about the colleges you're interested in and their previous year's cutoff ranks, it's difficult to provide a definitive answer.

However, based on the general trend in ICAR-AIEEA(pg) admissions, a rank of 1475 overall and 616 category under OBC might be competitive for some colleges, especially considering your domicile in Karnataka.

Here are some factors to consider:

  • College Preferences: The colleges you've selected can significantly impact your chances. Some colleges may have higher cutoffs due to their reputation, location, or specific course offerings.
  • Course Preferences: The specific course within horticulture you're targeting can also influence your chances. Some courses may have lower cutoffs compared to others.
  • Previous Year Cutoffs: Research the previous year's cutoffs for the colleges you're interested in. If your rank is below the cutoff, your chances of admission might be lower.
  • Seat Availability: The number of available seats for the course you're targeting can also affect your chances. If there are fewer seats, competition might be higher.

To increase your chances:

  • Apply to a variety of colleges: Consider applying to a mix of colleges, including some that might have lower cutoffs.
  • Research college preferences: Prioritize colleges that align with your academic and career goals.
  • Stay updated: Keep track of any updates or announcements from ICAR regarding admission processes and counseling.

Remember: Admission decisions can be influenced by various factors, including the number of applicants, seat availability, and the overall performance of candidates. It's always best to be optimistic and prepare for all possible outcomes.


I hope it helps !!





Hi there,

Hope you are doing fine.

To secure a seat in the Horticulture program through the ICAR AIEEA PG (Indian Council of Agricultural Research All India Entrance Examination for Admission Postgraduate) entrance examination, a general category student typically needs to achieve a competitive score.

The exact number of marks required can vary each year based on factors such as the overall difficulty of the exam, the number of applicants, and the performance of the candidates. Generally a high percentile score is needed to stand a good chance of admission  which often translates to achieving a rank within the top 5-10 percent of the candidates.

For more specific details you can  review the previous year  cutoff marks for Horticulture or consult the official ICAR website and admission brochures. These resources will help you in getting the most accurate and up to date information on the marks required for different categories and programs.

Hope this resolves your query.

Hello Aspirant

You don't mention the specifics of the course or the fee schedule. You have only expressed your plan to enrol in an undergraduate course. For mentioning the specifics of your option, however, the other aspects are unclear. Therefore, it is not particularly simple to guide you in this regard.

Thanks

Dear Student,

The CUSAT exam is challenging. But if you study the course well, getting good marks is not difficult. There are additional math questions on the test. Typically simple questions are asked.

The ICAR exam is a simpler, more fundamental form of test. Even with only a passing familiarity with the subject, you may select the right response by using your cunning. However, it is a lengthy exam with high standards.
Therefore, if you did well in your exams, you will secure a good rank in ICAR AIEEA too.
Good luck.
