For certain subjects/courses, the Universities may have different requirements/criteria than those
listed in the Table 3 of the AICE-JRF/SRF-2020 Information Bulletin available at www.icar.nta.nic.in. It is the
responsibility of the candidate to check his/her eligibility at the time of counseling with the University where
admission is desired. The exact title/nomenclature of the degree programme might vary from one university
to another for certain Subjects/disciplines.The candidates are advised to enquire about the nomenclature of
degree programme and other details from the Registrar of the concerned university (Annexure-III). The list of
Single Points of Contact at the admitting universities for admission related queries of the candidates shall also

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.

*5% reservation in ICAR-JRF/SRF(PGS) for Physically Challenged (PC) category will be horizontal across all the categories,
i.e. such candidates would draw JRF/SRF(PGS) from the GEN/SC/ST category to which they belong. If ICAR-JRF/SRF(PGS)
is not available in a particular category to which the PC candidate belongs, then the same would be drawn from General
Category depending upon availability.
**Since these programmes/subjects are not accredited at ICAR-IARI, hence JRF/SRF(Ph.D.) have not been allocated.
Note:
(i) The admission would be granted under accredited programme(s) of an accredited college(s) under an
accredited university except for Dr. RP CAU, Pusa, Bihar where 100% seats (both accredited and non-
accredited programmes) will be filled up through ICAR.
(ii) The exact title/nomenclature of the degree programme might vary from one university to another.
Candidates are advised to enquire the nomenclature of degree programme from the Registrar of
university concerned (for contact details, please refer Annexure-III) at the time of counseling/while
seeking admission.
(iii) From Academic Session 2017-18, the criteria for ICAR-JRF/SRF (erstwhile ICAR-SRF) distribution, based
on total number of seats in each subject, has been changed to average number of aspirants actually
appeared in the AICE-JRF/SRF (Ph.D.) in a particular Subject in the preceding three years. Due to
inclusion of 3 ICAR-DUs for admission during the Academic Session 2020-21, some new Subjects were
introduced in AICE-JRF/SRF(Ph.D.)-2020. Therefore, the number of candidates appeared (worked out
from number of registered candidates) in these new Subjects during this year’s examination were taken
into account for arriving at average number of aspirants actually appeared in these examinations during
preceding three and this year. The number of fellowships is tentative and may vary depending upon the
number of candidates actually appeared in the examination in a particular Subject.
(iv) ICAR-JRF/SRF(Ph.D.) shall be awarded only after the completion of online counseling.
(v) The candidates are informed that in accordance with the decision taken during XIX Meeting of National
Agricultural Education Accreditation Board (NAEAB) held on 20.03.2017, the admissions to the non-
accredited Doctoral degree programmes or non-accredited colleges of Dr. RPCAU, Pusa shall be made
through ICAR’s AICE-JRF/SRF(Ph.D.). However, it has been decided by the Council that w.e.f. the
Academic Session 2020-21, the candidates recommended for admission to these programmes shall not
be eligible for the award of ICAR-JRF/SRF(Ph.D. Such candidates may be provided fellowship by Dr.
RPCAU, Pusa from its budget w.e.f. the Academic Session 2020-21. The award of ICAR-JRF/SRF(Ph.D) to
Page 59 of 66
the candidates recommended for admission to Dr. RPCAU, Pusa may be considered in future subject to
accreditation of such programmes by the Council.
However, the students who are already enrolled in non-accredited Doctoral degree programmes in non-
accredited colleges and received the letter of award of the ICAR-JRF/SRF(Ph.D) from the ICAR shall
continue to avail the same in accordance with the prescribed rules and regulations of the fellowship
issued by the Council in this regard.
(vi) The award of ICAR-JRF/SRF(Ph.D.) to the candidates recommended for admission to non-accredited
programmes in non-accredited colleges of Dr. RPCAU, Pusa may be considered in future subject to their
accreditation by the Council.
(vii) The award of fellowship shall be considered valid only if the candidate actually seeks admission in a
particular University, failing which it shall be deemed to have been withdrawn and shall automatically
become infructuous.
(viii) If a candidate finally awarded ICAR-JRF/SRF(Ph.D.) at the completion of counseling seeks admission in
a university and subsequently leaves the degree programme for any reason, there will be no transfer of
such fellowship to the candidate next in merit rank.
(ix) There is no reservation of ICAR-JRF/SRF(Ph.D.) for candidates of OBC (NCL), EWS and UPS category. They
would be entitled for ICAR-JRF/SRF (Ph.D.) based on overall merit.
(x) Candidates qualified for counseling or allotted the seat, may seek admission only during the session for
which the examination has been conducted. They are not entitled to claim for admission in other
academic sessions/subsequent years based on this year’s examination.
(xi) For admission to Ph.D. degree programmes through the entrance examination, only the candidates
having passed graduation with 4/5(B.V.Sc.&A.H.)/6(10+6, BSc. Ag.) degree programme from any
recognized University will be eligible. The candidates having passedwith 3 years’ Bachelor’s degree
programme are not eligible for Ph.D. admission through AICE-JRF/SRF(Ph.D.) and subsequent counseling
except at two ICAR-DUs, viz. IARI and NDRI in few courses, for which the eligibility criteria of the
concerned ICAR-DU, including admission of graduates having passed with 3 years’ degree, would prevail
for admission.
