The ICAR counselling process is already delayed by over two months. The National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducted the entrance test for eligibility to admission to UG, PG, and PhD programmes in Agriculture and allied sciences, declared the CUET UG results on July 4. Initially, the Council said it would start the online choice-filling for UG counselling 2025 from October 6, but also said that the process, however, was subject to the completion of bank payment gateway integration.
