ICAR PhD Admission 2026 – Latest Vacancy Update

The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) published the PhD (all streams) vacant seat matrix following the Mop-Up/Final Round of Counselling for Admission 2026. The official communication, dated 2 November 2026, confirms that seats left vacant after centralized counselling are released to their respective agricultural universities for filling according to university-level rules and procedures.

The final round of PG (excluding the Veterinary stream) and PhD counselling ended on 24 October 2026. ICAR’s published PhD matrix lists 697 vacant seats across 517 university–course records.

Important: These vacancies are a snapshot after ICAR counselling, not confirmation that an institution is currently accepting applications. Check the relevant university’s official admission notice, eligibility criteria and deadline before taking action.

How Will Vacant Seats Be Filled?

Under Clause 5.0 of ICAR’s 2026 online counselling brochures, seats remaining vacant after the final counselling round are released to the concerned agricultural universities. Those seats are subsequently treated as university seats rather than ICAR quota seats.

Candidates should use the matrix to identify a relevant university and course, then refer to that university’s official admissions website for any vacancy filling notice, eligibility conditions, application process and deadline. Admission is subject to the respective university’s rules and applicable directions.

PG aspirants: The matrix displayed on this page is for PhD (all streams) only. ICAR has published a separate PG vacant seat matrix (excluding the Veterinary stream).
