Recruitment-specific overview from the published record.

ASRB–ICAR Technical Assistant (T-3) & Senior Technical Assistant (T-4) Recruitment 2026 — 1,393 Posts

The Agricultural Scientists Recruitment Board (ASRB), under the Department of Agricultural Research and Education, has notified the Centralized Combined Examination 2026 by F. No. 2(2)/2025-Exam dated 11 November 2026. This is direct recruitment for 1,254 Technical Assistant (T-3) positions in ICAR Institutes and 139 Senior Technical Assistant (T-4) positions at ICAR Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs). The advertised counts are tentative, and the two grades have different pay levels. The separate functional-group and reservation breakdown in Annexure VII is material: a candidate cannot safely treat all 1,393 seats as interchangeable.

Vertical total: 642 + 306 + 178 + 97 + 170 = 1,393. The 30 PwBD and 74 Ex-Servicemen entries in Annexure VII represent horizontal reservations within these seats, not another 104 vacancies. The T-4 roster contains no separate PwBD or Ex-Servicemen horizontal vacancies in its displayed columns. UR means an unreserved vacancy; category-specific certificate and qualifying-standard rules still matter.

*PwBD and Ex-SM are horizontally identified parts of the vacancy count, not additional posts. For eligibility, a functional group/subgroup is the selection unit even when both Field Farm and Laboratory routes appear within it. Departmental postings and centre allocations are not itemised in this vacancy register.

🎓 Qualification routes: choose the correct functional group

The qualification deadline is 17 December 2026. The notified qualification is not simply “any graduate” or “any diploma.” Annexure VIII differentiates the disciplines:

Functional groupRequired notified qualification
Agriculture — Field Farm / LaboratoryBachelor's in Agriculture, Horticulture, Agricultural Engineering, Agro-forestry, Food Science, Biotechnology, Environmental Science, Home Science, Community Science or Natural Farming
Animal ScienceB.V.Sc. & A.H.
FisheriesB.F.Sc.
Social Science—Home/Community ScienceBachelor's in Home Science or Community Science
Workshop—Civil EngineeringB.E./B.Tech. or three-year Civil Engineering Diploma
Workshop—Agricultural EngineeringB.E./B.Tech. or three-year Diploma in Agricultural Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Textile Technology or Fiber Processing Engineering
Workshop—Electrical EngineeringB.E./B.Tech. or three-year Electrical Engineering Diploma
Workshop—Electronics & Instrumentation EngineeringB.E./B.Tech. or three-year Diploma in Electronics Engineering or Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering
Library/DocumentationBachelor's Degree in Library Science or Library & Information Science
Information TechnologyBachelor's Degree in Computer Applications, Computer Science or IT or B.E./B.Tech. in IT, Computer Science or Electronics & Communication Engineering

OR is important: the specifically allowed three-year engineering diplomas are alternatives to eligible degree routes for the listed Workshop Staff groups, not an additional compulsory qualification. An engineering diploma is not a substitute for B.V.Sc. & A.H., B.F.Sc., or an unrelated bachelor's requirement. Recognised foreign university equivalence is governed by the notice. ASRB states that applicants can choose T-3, T-4 or both, if eligible, but can apply to only one Functional Group/Subgroup irrespective of eligibility for several disciplines. Check the exact form selection before final submission.

🎂 Age, nationality and reservation eligibility

For the standard T-3/T-4 route, age must be at least 21 and no more than 30 years on 17 December 2026. The advertised relaxation rules include up to 5 years for eligible SC/ST candidates, 3 years for OBC Non-Creamy Layer candidates, and 10 years for eligible PwBD candidates. Certain combined category relaxations are available under the stated conditions. Ex-Servicemen have a separate calculation involving military service and an additional three-year allowance in the notified rules. ICAR's own in-service technical staff have a stated UR upper-age provision of 40 years, but this does not extend automatically to employees of state agricultural universities, other governments or public undertakings. Eligible ICAR RA/SRF project engagements have a distinct conditional relaxation tied to actual service and continuity.

The nationality rule permits Indian citizens and certain other specified categories (including eligible Nepal/Bhutan nationals and other named persons), but applicants outside the Indian-citizen route must meet the Government of India certificate-of-eligibility condition where applicable. OBC eligibility relates to the Central List and non-creamy-layer requirements, not merely a state-issued OBC label. Reservation and PwBD suitability depend on notified certificates and Annexure VII functional requirements.

💳 Examination fee — post choice changes the amount

Candidate categoryT-3 onlyT-4 onlyBoth T-3 + T-4
UR₹300₹300₹600
EWS/OBC₹150₹150₹300
SC/ST/PwBD/Women/Transgender/Ex-ServicemenNilNilNil

The prescribed fee is non-refundable. Payment gateway or transaction charges, where applicable, are additional. Fee payment takes place through Bharatkosh, followed by uploading the fee receipt as instructed in the ASRB application. A person claiming a fee exemption must genuinely meet the notified eligibility conditions. A payment without a successfully submitted ASRB application is not a valid completed application.

🧠 Two-stage Computer Based Examination

Stage 1 — Preliminary CBT (qualifying): 100 objective questions for 100 marks, 60 minutes. General Knowledge 25, General English 25, Quantitative Aptitude 25 and General Agriculture 25. Each correct answer carries one mark; each incorrect answer attracts a deduction of 0.25 mark. Questions are available in Hindi and English. The preliminary stage is tentatively expected in February 2027, but no exact examination day has been announced.

📊 Preliminary CBT subject distribution

SubjectMarks
General Knowledge25
General English25
Quantitative Aptitude25
General Agriculture25

Applicants meeting the preliminary minimum qualifying percentage may be shortlisted for the Mains at a 1:15 ratio of vacancies in each functional group and category. The stated minimum thresholds are 30% UR, 25% EWS/OBC and 20% SC/ST/PwBD. They are minimum eligibility thresholds, not projected competitive cutoffs.

Stage 2 — Mains CBT: 100 domain-specific multiple-choice questions carrying 300 marks, over two hours. Each wrong answer leads to deduction of one mark (one-third of the three marks allotted per question). The same category-wise minimum qualifying percentages are specified for Mains. Results may be normalized where the same syllabus is tested in multiple CBT sessions. Final functional-group/category merit will be based on the notified Mains/normalized-score process, post preferences and verification rules; there is no interview stage.

The official English and Hindi subject syllabi are linked at the end. The announcement does not give a completed admit-card, answer-key or result release, and the actual Mains examination date is unannounced.

🧾 Application process — Bharatkosh and final submission

  1. From 18 November 2026, open ASRB's official website and use the link for Centralized Combined Examination 2026 (T-3/T-4). The original advertisement mentions the prescribed online form on the ASRB website.
  2. Register and supply accurate name, parental details, date of birth, valid email and other required particulars. Part-I registration alone is not an application.
  3. Choose a single functional group/subgroup and the permitted T-3, T-4 or combined option. State preferences carefully, checking the category-wise seats and own qualification.
  4. Prepare a clear, recent colour photograph against a white background in JPG format up to 200 KB, and a signature in blue/black ink on white paper, JPG up to 100 KB. Upload legible scans.
  5. For paid applicants use Bharatkosh, Quick Payment/Non-Registered Users, Individual depositor category and Ministry Agriculture. The notice specifies the purpose Examination/Certificate fee for ARS/NET/SMS/STO/FAO/AO, PAO 000001 — PAO (Sectt)-I, and DDO 216968 — Add. ASRB, Chayan Bhavan; use the matching T-3/T-4/both fee description in the payment remarks. Download the fee receipt and upload it in the ASRB application.
  6. Review all fields before saving payment details; the notice warns that ordinary modifications stop once payment details are uploaded. Watch for the successful application-submission confirmation rather than assuming payment is sufficient.
  7. Preserve the final submitted application and proof of payment. Use the 18–20 December correction window only for changes allowed by ASRB's separate correction rules.

Candidates must keep educational certificates, permissible equivalence evidence, category/reservation proof, PwBD documentation and applicable ICAR employment records ready for later verification. The notice provides specimen OBC, disability, EWS, employment and Ex-Servicemen declaration forms. Eligibility verification is performed by ICAR after the result as described in the notice; false information or documents can lead to rejection and further penalties.

🧭 What the recruitment actually guarantees — and what it does not

The notification gives a functional-group-wise vacancy table, not a guarantee of posting in any particular city, KVK or individual ICAR institute. Candidates must not treat the tentative number of seats as a fixed allocation; ASRB/ICAR can issue future changes. The list of preliminary and mains exam cities is in the announcement annexures, but examination centres may change and normally cannot be altered on request after selection. Scoring the stated qualifying percentage does not guarantee placement; achieved merit cutoffs can be higher. The notice does not provide an institute-by-institute duty roster, separate recruitment interviews, or final results as of its issue date.
