at present how many people applied for NCAR exam ?

Hello Aspirant!

As you have tagged Agriculture, I am assuming that your query is about ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research). Every year, this council conducts a national level exam - ICAR AIEEA (ICAR All India Entrance Examination for Admission) for shortlisting all the eligible candidates. The online application portal for ICAR AIEEA 2020 will be open till 31st of March. So, it will be a little difficult to tell you the exact number of applicants at present.

But to get some idea about the level of competition in the exam, we can take as a reference the previous year records of 2019, 2018 and 2017. Last year, in ICAR AIEEA, around 2,36,931 appeared for undergraduate courses, 31,486 appeared for post-graduate courses and 8,374 appeared for AICE-JRF/SRF (PGS). In 2018, approx. 2 lakh students appeared in the exam and about 50,000 candidates appeared in ICAR AIEEA 2017. Due to increasing job opportunities in the agricultural sector, the stats  have witnessed an increase in the number of applicants every year. So, you can imagine the growing demand of this field. Though ICAR AIEEA is not as tough as NEET and JEE. Difficulty level of the questions asked in ICAR AIEEA is of moderate level. If you obtain an AIR below 500, you can get a good agricultural institute. ICAR UG comprises of a total number of 600 marks.
