The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) closes its seat acceptance window today, August 16. Undergraduate agriculture aspirants must finalize choices by 6:00 PM IST server-time today. Candidates can accept allotted seats, request upgrades, or submit seat withdrawal requests. Missing this strict deadline leads to immediate cancellation of the seat allotment.
Candidates must complete all tasks through the official ICAR undergraduate counselling portal. Log into the candidate dashboard and view the Round 1 seat allotment status. After verifying details, complete the fee payment to unlock candidate options. Applicants can select freeze, float, or withdraw directly on the dashboard screen.

Choosing freeze or float determines your progression in subsequent counselling rounds. Select freeze if you are completely satisfied with your current seat allotment. Choose float if you accept the seat but seek a higher preference. Ensure your candidate name matches your government identification documents exactly.
Uploading accurate certificates ensures smooth verification by allotted agricultural institutions. Keep valid government identification, photo proof, and class 10 and 12 marksheets ready. Include your Common University Entrance Test (CUET) scorecard for undergraduate admissions. Category, Economically Weaker Section (EWS), or disability certificates must be updated.
Candidates confirming their seats must download the provisional allotment letter immediately. Reporting schedules and document verification timelines vary across participating universities. Check your dashboard regularly for specific institute instructions and key reporting updates. Unallotted applicants should review their preference lists for upcoming allocation rounds.
Candidates wishing to exit counselling must submit an official withdrawal request on time. Timely withdrawals submitted before the 6:00 PM cutoff qualify under refund guidelines. Avoid unverified agents, unofficial messaging groups, or suspicious external links. Perform transactions strictly on the portal to maintain security and seat validity.
Act promptly before the 6:00 PM IST server-time deadline closes portal access today. Review decision options carefully, verify uploaded documents, and save your admission receipts. Staying vigilant ensures a smooth transition into your agricultural degree program.
