The final seat allotment of ICAR AIEEA PG 2026 counselling goes live tomorrow, October 23, at 11 AM. Fresh choice filling for the mop-up round ran from October 19 at 5 PM and closed yesterday, October 21, at 11:50 PM, so this round decides the last remaining PG and PhD seats for the 2026-27 academic session.

Results appear on the official ICAR counselling portal. Candidates log in with their application number and password to check their allotment status. Once the allotment is released, the provisional admission letter is generated as part of the prescribed process on the portal.

Who this round covers

This is the final counselling round for postgraduate programmes, other than the Veterinary stream, and PhD programmes across all streams. ICAR runs it after four regular rounds, using a fresh seat vacancy matrix, so the seats on offer are the ones still unfilled across participating agricultural universities and institutes. That includes institutes such as the Indian Agricultural Research Institute in New Delhi, the G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology in Pantnagar, and the Institute of Agricultural Sciences at Banaras Hindu University, along with the other participating agricultural universities.

Only candidates who completed fresh choice filling within the notified window, after the display of the vacancy matrix, are in the running for this round.

Four deadlines packed into October 24

Everything after the allotment is compressed into a single day. The published schedule puts online document verification by the allotted university at October 24, 11:50 AM, followed by the end of document resubmission at 2 PM. The seat acceptance fee must be paid by 4 PM the same day, and universities complete reporting by 8 PM.

That leaves barely 29 hours between the allotment going live and the fee deadline. Candidates should log in as soon as the allotment opens on the morning of October 23, respond quickly to any query the allotted university raises on their documents, and keep a payment method ready.

Documents to keep ready

The allotted university verifies the documents uploaded online, and candidates produce the originals during physical reporting. The usual list includes the Class 10 certificate as date-of-birth proof, graduation mark sheets, the AIEEA PG admit card and rank card, the online application confirmation page, an Aadhaar card or other valid identity proof, and caste, EWS or PwBD certificates where applicable. Candidates should also confirm the document format and file size instructions on the portal before uploading. Our admission documents checklist covers the scans and certificates worth keeping on hand.
