ICAR AIEEA PG Counselling 2026: Registration for AIQ Seats Commences

The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has officially commenced the registration process for the ICAR AIEEA PG counselling 2026. This process is specifically for candidates seeking admission to postgraduate programmes in agriculture and allied sciences under the All India Quota (AIQ) seats. Eligible students are now invited to visit the official counselling portal to initiate their applications.

The registration window, which opened on September 29, 2026, allows candidates to complete their profile, upload necessary documentation, and perform choice filling. It is essential for all participating students to complete these requirements by the deadline of October 2, 2026, at 11:50 PM. The entire process is being managed through the official website at icarcounseling.com.

Counselling Schedule and Key Dates

Following the conclusion of the registration and choice-filling phase, the ICAR will process the data to determine seat allocations. The results for the first round of seat allotment are scheduled to be announced on October 5, 2026, starting from 11 AM. Once the allotments are declared, the focus will shift to the university-level document verification process, which is set to conclude on October 6, 2026, at 11:50 PM.

Candidates who may need to re-submit documents will have until October 7, 2026, at 11:50 AM to complete this task. Furthermore, the deadline for the payment of the seat acceptance fee for the first round is set for October 7, 2026, at 4 PM. Students are advised to adhere strictly to these timelines to ensure their candidature remains valid throughout the admission process.

Registration Procedure and Withdrawal Policy

To participate in the counselling, candidates must log in to the official portal using their ICAR AIEEA PG application number and other required credentials. After logging in, applicants must fill out the registration form, pay the requisite counselling fee, and upload the necessary documents. The final step involves selecting preferred courses and institutions, followed by saving and locking those choices to complete the submission.

Regarding the withdrawal of seats, the official notification specifies that this facility will become available starting from the second round of counselling. This option will remain accessible until the final day of the fourth round. However, the council has clarified that the withdrawal facility will be temporarily suspended during the period between the closure of one counselling round and the official announcement of seat allotments for the subsequent round.
