Hello, Yes, you definitely have a chance of getting admission with an All India Rank of 1990 (UR), but it will be highly competitive for a top-demand subject like Genetics and Plant Breeding (GPB).

You are unlikely to secure a seat in the premier institutes (like IARI or top-tier State Agricultural Universities) in the first or second rounds. However, your best opportunity will be in the final and mop-up rounds of counselling. Seats frequently become vacant as other candidates upgrade or accept state quota admissions.

Your strategy must be to apply for every single university offering GPB during the choice-filling process, including newer or more remote colleges, to maximize your probability. You should also consider filling in choices for related subjects like Plant Biotechnology or Seed Science & Technology, where your rank would give you a much stronger chance of admission.

I hope you found this information helpful and for any study related queries you can ask in careers360 app, Have a great day!

Hello,

With an All-India Rank of 1990 (UR) in ICAR PG Plant Science, you have a moderate chance of admission during the later counseling or mop-up rounds. Top ICAR institutes like IARI, PAU, and TNAU may be difficult, but you could get seats in mid-tier universities such as OUAT, BHU, or state agricultural universities in Rajasthan, Bihar, or Madhya Pradesh.

Keep options open across all rounds and consider lower-cutoff specializations within Genetics and Plant Breeding to improve your chances.

Hope you understand.

Hey,

You have a fair chance of getting admission in M.Sc. in Genetics and Plant Breeding in the later counselling round or mop-up round with the  All India Rank of 1990 UR. Top ICAR institutes like IARI, PAU, and TNAU might be difficult, but you have chances in multi-tier universities such as BHU, CSS HAV, BCKV, or state agricultural universities.

Hope it helps!!!
