Based on the results of AIEEA-UG-2013 examination, National Talent Scholarships (NTS) will be awarded to Bachelor degree students whereas based on the merit-rank in AIEEA-PG-2013 examination, 475 ICAR Junior Research Fellowships (JRF) will be awarded to Master degree students.
National Talent Scholarship (NTS) will be awarded to those candidates, selected through AIEEA-UG-2013 examination, who join an Agricultural University located outside their state of domicile.
ICAR-JRF(Post Graduate Studies): Based on the merit in the AIEEA-PG-2012 examination, about 475 ICARJunior Research Fellowships for Postgraduate Studies [ICAR-JRF(PGS)] in 20 major subject groups will be awarded for two years in Agricultural Universities including State Agricultural Universities, CAU and CUs with agriculture faculty, SHIATS Allahabad and ICAR-DUs, provided their Bachelor degree is not from the same AU (except NDRI, Karnal). That means JRF will be given to only those candidates who join the Master degree programme in the University other than from where he/she has obtained his/her Bachelor’s degree except at NDRI, Karnal where admissions for 100% seats are made on All India basis through ICAR Entrance Examination.
Candidates, currently studying for their Master’s degree in 1st year, can also appear in AIEEA-PG-2013 examination for securing ICAR-JRF (PGS). However, if a ICAR-JRF (PGS) holder seeks fresh admission, entire amount of fellowship received by him/her shall have to be refunded with interest and he/she will not be entitled for fresh ICAR-JRF(PGS).
