Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How is the ICAR AIEEA PG 2026 Rank calculated?
The ICAR AIEEA PG rank is calculated based on total marks scored in the 240-mark NTA-conducted CBT. The scoring formula is: Total Score = (Number of Correct Answers × 2) − (Number of Wrong Answers × 0.5). Candidates are ranked in descending order of total marks. In case of a tie, inter-se merit is determined by marks in the subject paper itself. The rank predictor uses this formula along with historical data from ~12,000+ aspirants to estimate your All India Rank.
What is the minimum qualifying marks for ICAR AIEEA PG 2026?
The minimum qualifying marks for ICAR AIEEA PG are: General/OBC/EWS candidates must score at least 50% marks (i.e., 120 out of 240) in the entrance exam. SC/ST/PwD candidates must score at least 40% marks (i.e., 96 out of 240). Candidates who do not meet these qualifying thresholds are not eligible for ICAR counselling and seat allotment, regardless of their absolute rank.
What marks are required for IARI New Delhi in ICAR AIEEA PG?
IARI (Indian Agricultural Research Institute), New Delhi is the most prestigious agriculture institution in India. To get admission at IARI, you typically need to be within the top 50 ranks in General category. This generally requires scoring 175–200+ marks out of 240 (73%+) in popular disciplines like Agronomy, Plant Breeding, and Entomology. Less competitive disciplines at IARI may have slightly more lenient cutoffs. Since IARI has very few seats (2–5 per discipline per category), even a rank of 20–30 may not guarantee admission in all disciplines.
What is the ICAR JRF (Junior Research Fellowship) and how to get it?
The ICAR Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) is awarded to the top performers in ICAR AIEEA PG. Candidates who rank among the top 30% of qualified candidates in each discipline are typically eligible for the JRF, which provides a monthly stipend for M.Sc research (Rs. 31,000/month currently) and Ph.D (Rs. 35,000/month). The JRF is valid for 2 years for M.Sc and 5 years for Ph.D studies. ICAR SRF (Senior Research Fellowship) is awarded after completion of 2 years of JRF.
Does ICAR AIEEA Rank Predictor guarantee my actual rank?
No. The ICAR AIEEA Rank Predictor on Famral provides estimated ranks based on historical rank distributions across approximately 12,000+ ICAR AIEEA PG aspirants. Your actual rank depends on your precise total score, the number of candidates who appeared in your specific discipline that year, overall exam difficulty, and NTA's final normalization (if any). This tool is for reference only; always verify your actual rank from the official NTA/ICAR result portal.
How does ICAR AIEEA PG counselling work after rank declaration?
After ICAR AIEEA PG results are declared, qualified candidates register on the ICAR admission portal (icaradmission.in) for centralized counselling. During counselling, candidates fill their preferences for universities and disciplines in order of priority. ICAR then conducts seat allotment based on merit rank, category, and preferences. Multiple rounds of counselling (typically 3 rounds) are conducted. Allotted candidates must report to their respective university and complete the admission formalities within the specified deadline.
