1.0 ICAR AICE-JRF/SRF (Ph.D.)-2022 AND ONLINE COUNSELLING
The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR)’s AICE-JRF/SRF(Ph.D.)-2022 examination was

conducted by National Testing Agency (NTA) on 20.09.2022 for admission to Doctoral degree programmes in different
disciplines of Agriculture and Allied Sciences running in the accredited universities under the ICAR-AU System. Based
upon rank of candidates in the Subject-wise All India Merit List and availability of seat in a particular Subject/discipline
opted in the desired university, ICAR shall award 300 fellowships [ICAR-JRF/SRF(Ph.D.)] to the eligible candidates.
The centralized admission to 30% of the seats (subject to at least one seat for each discipline having Ph.D.
degree programme in the University) of Ph.D. degree programmes in the universities under the ICAR-AU system was
introduced w.e.f. the Academic Session 2015-16. Further, it was decided in the 234th meeting of the Governing Body
of ICAR held on 25.06.2015 that admissions through the entrance examination conducted by the ICAR shall not be
allowed for non-accredited colleges from the Academic Session 2016-17. The online counseling for admission to
different disciplines of Agriculture and Allied Sciences in accredited Agricultural Universities was also introduced by
the ICAR w.e.f. the Academic Session 2017-18.
For the Academic Session 2022-23, admissions to 30% seats (100% seats at ICAR-DUs, Dr. RPCAU, Pusa, and
RLBCAU, Jhansi) in doctoral degree programmes will be granted at accredited colleges in 63 accredited Agricultural
Universities (including few non-accredited courses at Dr. RPCAU, Pusa, IARI and RLBCAU, Jhansi) under the ICAR-
AU system. The List of Accredited Universities along with the Contact Details of Registrars for Seeking Admission to
Ph.D. Degree Programme is at Annexure-III. The information on Annual Course Fee (refundable and non-refundable)
and hostel fee (without food charges) along with the tentative date of registration at the university is available on the
counseling portal (www.icarexam.net). Before choice filling, the candidates must ascertain the fee structure,
availability of hostel, date of registration and other requirements including the eligibility by contacting the concerned
university.
In the AIEEA counseling for admissions since Academic Session 2020-21, certain new features such as online
document verification system and centralized payment of Seat Acceptance Fee (part of admission fee) have been
introduced. Thus, AIEEA-2022 online counseling enormously increases the overall convenience of candidates as they
are not required to physically report to the admitting university during any round of counseling.
Based on scores generated by NTA for the candidates appeared in the ICAR’s AICE-JRF/SRF (Ph.D.)-2022
conducted on 20th September, 2022 the Subject-wise merit-based ranks have been generated by ICAR. Candidates
declared eligible for counseling will be considered for allocation of Subject/discipline and AU as per ICAR’s Online
Counseling procedure. The fellowship to the eligible candidates will be granted only after the completion of Counseling
process and online verification of admissions by the AUs, when a candidate get admitted and pursues Ph.D. degree in
an AU other than the one from where he/she has passed Bachelor’s or Master’s degree. It implies that not more than
two degrees (including Ph.D.) should be from the same AU. The other candidates who are declared/notified as eligible
for participation in counseling will be eligible as per their merit rank and availability of seat for admission to Ph.D. degree
programme, without fellowship, in the specific subject in the AUs. The above eligibility conditions will also apply to in-
service candidates.
There is no direct nomination through ICAR in any Doctoral degree programme without appearing in the
examination conducted by NTA for ICAR and participation in online counseling conducted by ICAR.
Since the complete process is online, so candidates are advised to read this brochure carefully, regularly check
their e-mail and SMS and visit the AIEEA Counseling portal (www.icarexam.net) regularly for updates and other
details regarding the online counseling process. No excuse for missing any information will be entertained later.
2.0 UNIVERSITY-WISE AND SUBJECT-WISE NUMBER OF SEATS AVAILABLE FOR

and additional document requirements, if any, for the allotted course, well in advance, before physically
reporting to the finally allotted university at the time of registration or attending classes or as per the
‘’upgraded” university requirements. If the “Upgraded” University/ Course have some additional requirements

of Classes at the university, documents of all such candidates will be checked and in the event of lapses being
found, the university may deny admission to such candidates.
7. Since there will be only four rounds of counseling (and mop-up round, if needed), request for “Upgradation”
will be permissible only during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounds. Subsequent round of allotments (2nd, 3rd and 4th) will
be conducted for candidates who did not get any seat in the earlier rounds. However, their choices will remain
the same as filled in the beginning.
Subsequent rounds of online counseling will be conducted immediately after online reporting by the
university is complete at the end of a particular round of counseling. If a candidate is “Upgraded” during the
second allotment and he/she still has scope of getting a better choice, then he/she can again request for

counseling.
