The ICAR AIEEA (All India Entrance Examination for Admission) UG exam is a national-level test conducted for admission into undergraduate agriculture and allied science programs. The exam consists of 150 multiple-choice questions carrying a total of 600 marks, with four marks awarded for each correct answer and one mark deducted for each incorrect one. While there is no officially fixed passing score, candidates generally need to score around 40–50% to be considered eligible, with cutoffs varying by category. For General category students, the cutoff typically ranges between 300 to 350 marks, though it may fluctuate each year based on the exam’s difficulty level and the number of applicants.
To pursue ICAR-accredited agriculture programs at Lovely Professional University (LPU), candidates can apply directly through the official website at www.lpu.in by submitting their ICAR AIEEA scorecard. Additionally, LPU conducts its own entrance exam, LPUNEST, which can also be taken for both admission and scholarship consideration. Whether applying through ICAR or LPUNEST, students at LPU benefit from a curriculum aligned with ICAR standards, modern infrastructure, practical training on research farms, and excellent placement and internship opportunities in the agricultural sector.
