ICAR PG Scorecard vs Rank Card: What Is the Difference?
The NTA result and the ICAR counselling rank serve related but different purposes.
The NTA scorecard confirms a candidate's examination performance, while the rank released for counselling is used to determine the candidate's position for admission and choice allocation under ICAR's postgraduate counselling process.
The official AIEEA PG information bulletin states that the entrance result is expressed in terms of the overall merit rank obtained by candidates declared eligible for registration and choice filling.
