Note
AIEEA (PG) is an admission examination, not a recruitment examination. What it leads to is a Master's seat in the ICAR-AU system and, for meritorious candidates, a scholarship. The figures below are the ones the Information Bulletin prints.
| Outcome | Detail | Duration | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICAR-PG Scholarship | Awarded to meritorious candidates seeking admission in Agricultural Universities where the Master's degree programme consists of course and research work. The bulletin states the scholarship will be at the rate of Rs. 12,640/- per month together with a contingent grant of Rs. 6,000/- per year for procurement of essential chemicals, equipment, books and travel connected with the research work, with not more than 50% of the contingent grant to be spent on books and all purchases made with the approval of the Major Advisor or Chairman of the Student Advisory Committee. | Awarded for two years from the date of registration in the Master degree programme, with no extension beyond 2 years. For graduates with 10+2+3 admitted to IARI and NDRI and awarded the scholarship, no fellowship is payable during the first year while completing remedial courses. | Candidates already pursuing a Master's degree may apply for fresh admission and compete for the ICAR-PG Scholarship provided they have not completed one year of their Master's programme on the date of examination. · If an ICAR-PG Scholarship holder seeks fresh admission, the entire amount of scholarship received must be refunded to the university with interest. · Awardees of previous years, even if in merit, will not be awarded the ICAR-PG Scholarship again, though admission is granted as per merit rank. · All awardees must execute a surety bond of appropriate amount as per university rules at the time of registration; if the candidate leaves before completing the programme the scholarship amount drawn must be refunded to the Council. · 5% reservation in the PG Scholarship for the PwBD category is horizontal across all categories. |
| National Talent Scholarship (PG) | The bulletin states that National Talent Scholarship (NTS) will also be provided to eligible candidates as per NTS guidelines, which will be intimated at the time of counselling. | Not stated | Not stated |
| Master's seat under the ICAR All India Quota | During academic year 2025-26 the total number of ICAR AIQ seats available for admission in different PG programs under the ICAR-AU system was 4883. The tentative seat matrix for 2026-27 is in Annexure-XII of the bulletin; the final number of seats is displayed on the ICAR website at the time of online counselling. | Not stated | Not stated |
