Yes.
The result is already available.
The official ICAR counselling portal currently states:
“To Download Allotment Letter of Fourth Round (UG Courses) click on ‘Applicant Login’ and login using your Application No. & Password.”
Therefore, the accurate current status is:
ICAR Round 4 Seat Allotment Result 2026 – OUT
rather than “releasing today.”
When Was ICAR Round 4 Result Released?
The official schedule fixed the fourth-round allotment for:
August 14, 2026 at 11:00 AM onwards.
Candidates can now check whether a university and programme have been allotted.
How to Check ICAR Round 4 Seat Allotment Result 2026

Visit the official ICAR counselling portal.
Open Applicant Login.
Enter the Application Number.
Enter the Password.
Submit the details.
Check the Round 4 allotment status.
Verify the allotted university.
Verify the allotted degree programme.
Download the allotment letter.

What Details Should Candidates Check?
After logging in, verify:
Candidate details
ICAR rank
Allotted university
Degree programme
Category
Round number
Document-verification status
University queries, if any
Seat Acceptance Fee status
Provisional Admission Letter status
Candidates should download and preserve the allotment letter.
ICAR Allots University, Not Constituent College
This is an important counselling rule.
ICAR's official counselling brochure states that ICAR does not allot a constituent college directly. It allots a university to the candidate.
The concerned university subsequently regulates placement into its constituent colleges and programmes according to its own applicable criteria.
Therefore:
ICAR Allotment = University + Programme
and not necessarily the final constituent college location.
What to Do After Round 4 Allotment
Candidates who receive a seat should follow this sequence:
Check Allotment → Upload/Confirm Documents → Respond to Queries → University Verification → Pay Seat Acceptance Fee → Generate Provisional Admission Letter
The process is conducted online during the counselling round.
Online Document Verification Deadline
Universities must complete online document verification by:
August 16, 2026 at 2:00 PM.
Candidates should therefore continue checking their login because the university may raise a document-related query before verification is completed.
Re-submission of Documents Deadline
If a university asks a candidate to submit or correct a document, the Round 4 deadline for candidate re-submission and university verification is:
August 16, 2026 at 5:00 PM.
Candidates should not ignore a document query.
ICAR states that failure to submit clarification or re-submit documents within the prescribed time can result in the candidate being treated as Not Reported, leading to cancellation of the seat.
ICAR Round 4 Withdrawal Deadline
Candidates who wish to withdraw or cancel their allotted/admitted seat can do so until:
August 16, 2026 at 6:00 PM.
The counselling brochure states that withdrawal/cancellation must be completed through the Applicant Login.
Requests sent through:
Email
Fax
Post
WhatsApp
By hand
will not be accepted by ICAR.
ICAR Round 4 Seat Acceptance Fee Last Date
The deadline to deposit the Seat Acceptance Fee is:
August 16, 2026 at 8:00 PM.
This is one of the most important deadlines for candidates receiving a Round 4 allotment.
Candidates should not wait until the final minutes to make payment.
ICAR Seat Acceptance Fee
The official counselling brochure states that the Seat Acceptance Fee is ₹10,000.
This amount forms part of the candidate's admission fee.
Later, when the candidate reports to the finally allotted university, this amount is adjusted against the university admission fee.
When Is the Provisional Admission Letter Issued?
After:
Uploaded documents are verified
Seat Acceptance Fee is paid
Admission status is reconciled
a Provisional Admission Letter is issued to the admitted candidate.
Candidates should save both:
Allotment Letter
Provisional Admission Letter
for future use.
Save All Counselling Documents
ICAR specifically advises candidates to keep both hard and soft copies of:
Rank card
Provisional allotment letter
Provisional admission letter
Other counselling documents
because these files may no longer be available once the counselling portal closes.
Candidates should therefore download everything now rather than assuming it can always be retrieved later.
Is Upgradation Available in Round 4?
No.
ICAR's official counselling brochure clearly states that upgradation is permitted only in:
Round 1
Round 2
Round 3
and not in Round 4.
Round 4 allotment is conducted for eligible candidates who did not receive a seat in earlier rounds.
Who Is Considered in Round 4?
ICAR states that subsequent allotment rounds, including Round 4, are conducted for candidates who did not receive any seat in earlier rounds, based on the choices already submitted.
The original choice list remains applicable for these rounds.
Can Candidates Change Their Choices in Round 4?
The Round 4 process does not provide a fresh normal choice-filling stage.
The choices submitted earlier continue to be considered according to:
Merit
Eligibility
Seat availability
Fresh choice filling is provided later for the Mop-Up/Final Round, if that round is conducted.
How Is ICAR Seat Allotment Decided?
Seat allocation is based broadly on:
ICAR Merit Rank + Candidate Choices + Eligibility + Category + Available Seats
ICAR explains that allocation takes place according to the candidate's overall merit rank, selected programme/university preferences and seat availability.
Admission Is Based on CUET ICAR UG 2026
ICAR generates counselling ranks using the scores obtained in:
CUET (ICAR-UG) 2026
conducted by NTA.
The counselling brochure states that common merit-based ranks are generated for the subject group or combination selected by candidates during counselling registration.
Candidates With Zero or Negative Marks Are Not Eligible
The official counselling rules state that candidates scoring:
zero or negative marks
in CUET (ICAR-UG) 2026 are not eligible to participate in counselling.
Class 12 Subject Eligibility Is Important
ICAR checks whether the subject combination attempted in CUET corresponds with the required Class 12 subjects.
The counselling brochure states that candidates must have passed the applicable subjects in their Class 12 examination.
Candidates failing the essential eligibility requirements can be rejected by the verifying/admitting university.
Online Verification Means No Physical Reporting During Round 4
ICAR's 2026 counselling process uses online document verification.
Candidates are not required to physically report to the admitting university during the counselling round itself.
Physical reporting happens later according to the finally allotted university's requirements for:
Registration
Joining
Classes
Original certificate verification
Original Documents Will Still Be Required Later
Even though Round 4 verification is online, candidates will later have to produce original documents at the finally allotted university.
ICAR states that all documents uploaded during counselling must be produced in original form when required by the university.
What Happens at Final University Reporting?
At the time of final registration or joining, candidates must:
Produce original documents
Pay the remaining university fee
Complete university-level admission requirements
The ₹10,000 Seat Acceptance Fee paid during counselling is adjusted against the admission fee.
What If a Candidate Does Not Join?
ICAR states that a candidate who freezes or accepts a seat during Rounds 1–4 but fails to:
Withdraw properly, or
Join the provisionally allotted programme/university
will not receive a refund of the Seat Acceptance Fee.
Candidates should therefore take withdrawal deadlines seriously.
What Comes After Round 4?
The current counselling schedule provides for a:
Mop-Up/Final Round
if needed.
The vacancy matrix and fresh choice-filling process are scheduled to begin on:
August 18, 2026 at 5:00 PM onwards.
ICAR Mop-Up Round Schedule
| Activity | Date |
|---|---|
| Vacancy Matrix + Fresh Choice Filling Starts | August 18, 5 PM |
| Choice Filling Ends | August 20, 11:50 PM |
| Mop-Up Seat Allotment | August 22, 11 AM onwards |
| University Document Verification Ends | August 23, 2 PM |
| Re-submission/Verification Ends | August 23, 5 PM |
| Seat Acceptance Fee Deadline | August 23, 8 PM |
These dates are listed in ICAR's official counselling schedule.
Who Can Participate in the Mop-Up Round?
ICAR permits several categories of candidates to participate in the mop-up/final round.
These include eligible candidates who:
Could not register earlier
Registered but did not fill choices
Were allotted seats earlier but could not complete document/fee requirements
Filled choices but remained unallotted through Round 4
subject to the detailed mop-up eligibility rules.
Fresh Candidates Can Join Mop-Up
Eligible candidates who did not register in the initial counselling can participate in the mop-up/final round by paying the prescribed:
₹500 counselling registration fee
provided they satisfy the eligibility criteria.
Fresh Choices Are Required for Mop-Up
Candidates participating in the mop-up round need to fill fresh choices for the vacant seats.
ICAR states that previous choices automatically stand cancelled for the mop-up round and will not be considered.
No Upgradation in Mop-Up Round
ICAR also makes clear that:
No upgradation is permitted in the Mop-Up/Final Round.
Candidates should therefore choose available seats carefully.
No Withdrawal in Mop-Up Round
The counselling brochure states that withdrawal/cancellation through Applicant Login is not available in the Mop-Up/Final Round.
The Seat Acceptance Fee is also non-refundable in that round.
This makes fresh choice filling especially important.
Agriculture and Allied Science Courses
ICAR UG counselling covers undergraduate programmes in Agriculture and Allied Sciences offered through participating agricultural universities.
The 2026-27 counselling brochure states that ICAR quota admissions are being made across participating Agricultural Universities under the ICAR-AU system.
ICAR Quota Seats
For the 2026-27 academic session, the counselling brochure states that admission is being made to 20% ICAR quota seats in participating Bachelor's degree programmes, with certain ICAR institutions having 100% seats covered under the specified ICAR admission system.
