Fisheries, Dairy Science and other allied sciences. ICAR JRF/SRF(PHD) shall be awarded to 300
candidates based on merit in this examination as per their overall merit-rank and seat availability in
different disciplines. However, fellowship is granted only after the Counseling, when the candidate
gets admitted and pursues Ph.D degree in an AU other than the one from where he/she has passed
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree. It implies that not more than two degrees (including Ph.D.) should be

to in-service candidates.
Candidates declared eligible for registration and choice filling for counselling by ICAR will only be
considered for allocation of subject and the Agricultural University. There is no provision of direct
