ICAR Choice Filling 2025 Live Updates; Students wait for counselling schedule, check UG, PG, PhD counselling and seat matrix

ICAR Choice Filling 2025 : The Indian Council of Agricultural Research is yet to start the choice filling process for 2025, and students are getting anxious. In 2023, the counselling process was delayed and started on October 18. If ICAR follows a similar trend this year, the choice filling might begin around October 18. If not, it might be released after October 24, considering the upcoming Indian festivities.

ICAR Choice Filling 2025: Students Await Updates For Counselling Schedule

Students from states like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, and Odisha have already completed their agriculture admissions through state-level processes. However, 20% of seats are still pending under the All India Quota. AIQ aspirants are missing academics due to the delay which is causing more frustration among them.

Students have expressed their frustration on social media and emailed the authorities, but responses are limited to generic messages stating that the counselling schedule will be released, choice filling portal will be activated soon. With no concrete information or expected date provided, it is likely that the portal might be released after October 24 if ICAR does not find a quick solution to the issues causing the delay.

Experts say the AIQ seats have increased from 15% to 20% this year, changing the seat matrix, which might be contributing to the delay. The authorities are likely working on these changes, which is taking time. There's no official word from ICAR yet, so we'll have to wait for further updates. Meanwhile, candidates can check out the seat matrix for UG, PG, and PhD below, and stay informed on the changes made this year.
