Alerts and Updates for ICAR-AIEEA-JRF

NTA conducted AICE-JRF/SRF (Ph.D.) 2026 on 4 July 2026 in computer-based mode, on the same day as ICAR AIEEA (PG). The doctoral test spanned 72 subjects across about 89 cities, with a two-hour duration.

Applications opened on 8 May 2026 and NTA extended the deadline, including fee payment, to 10 June 2026. Ahead of the exam NTA released the advance exam-city slip, opened the scribe portal for PwD/PwBD candidates and issued admit cards from 1 July 2026.

The provisional answer key and challenge window were still awaited as of 11 July 2026; on past cycles they arrive within roughly two weeks of the exam, with results tentatively in August 2026. The JRF/SRF key is released alongside the AIEEA PG key.

Successful candidates compete for ICAR Junior and Senior Research Fellowships and Ph.D. seats in the agricultural university system. Allotment is done through ICAR central online counselling at icarcounseling.com once results are declared, so registering there is a separate mandatory step.
