ICAR PG and PhD 2026: Exam City Slips Released and Scribe Registration Now Open
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially released the advance exam city intimation slips for the ICAR AIEEA (PG) and AICE JRF/SRF (PhD) 2026 entrance examinations. Candidates who have registered for these tests can now check their allotted exam city through the official ICAR portal. Alongside this, the NTA has also activated a dedicated portal for eligible PwD/PwBD candidates to submit their scribe (writing assistant) details.
City Intimation Slip: What You Need to Know
The exam city intimation slip is now available for download on the official ICAR website. To access the slip, candidates must log in using their application number and password. It is important to note that this document is not the same as the admit card. The city intimation slip is issued solely to inform candidates about the city where their examination centre will be located, allowing them sufficient time to plan travel and accommodation in advance.
The official admit card, which is mandatory for entry into the examination hall, will be released separately at a later date. Candidates are advised to regularly check the official website for updates regarding the admit card release and download it once it becomes available.
Examination Date and Mode
The NTA will conduct the ICAR AIEEA (PG) and AICE JRF/SRF (PhD) 2026 entrance tests on 4 July 2026. The examinations will be held in Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode across various centres in the country. These tests are being organized for admission to postgraduate and doctoral programmes in agricultural and allied sciences. With the city intimation slip now out, candidates can begin making the necessary arrangements for their travel to the exam location.
Scribe Facility for PwD/PwBD Candidates
In addition to the city intimation slips, the NTA has opened the online portal for candidates with disabilities (PwD/PwBD) who wish to avail the scribe facility. This service is designed to assist candidates who require a writing assistant during the examination. Eligible candidates can now submit their scribe details through the official portal.
The scribe registration window is open from 25 June 2026 until 27 June 2026, up to 11:59 PM. Candidates must ensure they complete the submission process within this timeframe to be considered for the facility.
