ICAR AIEEA is the commonly used name for the ICAR All India Entrance Examination for Admission. For undergraduate Agriculture and Allied Sciences admissions, ICAR currently uses the CUET (ICAR-UG) route. For the 2026-27 academic session, admission to 13 four-year Bachelor degree programmes under the ICAR All India Quota was based on CUET (ICAR-UG)-2026 merit. Candidates seeking ICAR UG admission should therefore follow the CUET (UG) and ICAR official notifications rather than looking for a separate standalone AIEEA-UG examination.
