The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has made the decision to use the Common University Entrance Test (CUET-UG) as the method of admission for Bachelor's degree programs in agriculture and allied sciences at agricultural universities.

The ICAR-AIEEA (UG) will not be utilized for admission to undergraduate courses for this academic year. Previously, the ICAR-AIEEA (UG) was used to admit students to undergraduate courses in agriculture and allied subjects for 20% of the ICAR All India Quota seats.

“It has now been decided by the ICAR that admission to the specified UG courses hitherto being done through ICAR-AIEEA, will be done through Common University Entrance Test (CUET)-UG for the academic year 2023-24. Hence, there would be no ICAR-AIEEA (UG) for admission to UG courses in Agriculture and Allied subjects for 20% ICAR All India Quota Seats, for the academic year 2023-24,” NTA said in a notice.
