The International Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR) All India Entrance Examination for Admission (AIEAA) - ICAR AIEEA exam - is still the most respected entrance examination into the Agriculture and Allied Sciences stream. After the completion of the First stage Examination for the 2025-26 academic year, the 2025 ICAR AIEAA Question Paper has been the most searched for resource so that all candidates can assess their performance while also helping the class of 2026 to build their examination roadmap.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has made it possible to access this question paper via the Computer Based Test (CBT) method by reconstructing the questions from memory and using the official provisional key. The resource outlined in this document is a detailed overview of the 2025 question paper, its trend of difficulty, and links to all downloadable resources.
The ICAR AIEEA is being conducted using an online examination platform, so there will be no distribution of Question Papers in a physical format. Based on the feedback provided by the students and the response sheets released in July 2025, we have compiled a subject-wise distribution list for the examination.
