On Question asked by student community
Hello dear candidate,
In counselling the first round of seat allotment in top college is quite tough but in later rounds you will get good options.
you are most likely to get admission in good ICAR/SAU college for agronomy, just not the very top ones.
list of colleges you are likely to get a seat:-
Hii,
Yes, you can appear for the ICAR AIEEA (PG) exam, but there’s a catch. While your degree from a UGC-approved university like Singhania is valid in general, ICAR specifically prefers students from ICAR-accredited institutions. Some ICAR colleges may accept your application, but not all. It's important to carefully check the eligibility criteria of the particular university or college you're applying to. If you're unsure, you can email or call the admissions office of those ICAR institutions before applying. Keep preparing for the exam and apply wisely.
Best wishes!
No, if you did not apply for the CUET (ICAR-UG) and didn't choose any ICAR universities during the CUET application process, you cannot directly apply for ICAR AIEEA.
Admission to ICAR universities for Bachelor's programs in Agriculture and Allied Sciences is through CUET (ICAR-UG), and you must have selected the ICAR universities during the initial CUET application to be eligible.
Hope it helps!!
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:
To increase your chances:
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.
