The ICAR Subject Combination for CUET 2027 is an important part of the CUET application process for students who want admission to undergraduate agriculture and allied science programmes. Choosing the right CUET subjects is important because candidates are required to appear in subjects that match the subjects they studied in Class 12.
For CUET (ICAR-UG) 2027, candidates should check the latest official ICAR information bulletin before submitting their application. The detailed CUET 2027 ICAR subject combination has not been officially released yet. However, the latest available ICAR-UG 2026 information bulletin provides a useful reference for understanding the subject requirements.
This article explains the CUET ICAR Subject Combination 2027 for Commerce, CUET ICAR Subject Combination 2027 for Arts, and ICAR CUET Subject Combination 2027 for Science based on the latest available ICAR criteria.
Under the latest ICAR-UG criteria, candidates seeking admission to Bachelor’s degree programmes in Agriculture and Allied Sciences must have studied at least three relevant subjects among Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology and Agriculture/Inter-Agriculture in Class 12.
The relevant CUET subjects mapped to the ICAR Agriculture and Allied Sciences programme include:
302 – Agriculture
304 – Biology/Biological Studies/Biotechnology/Biochemistry
306 – Chemistry
319 – Mathematics/Applied Mathematics
322 – Physics
Candidates must carefully select their CUET subjects because appearing for subjects different from those studied in Class 12 can lead to rejection during counselling or admission.
The following table explains the subject mapping based on the latest available ICAR-UG information:

Bachelor's Degree in Agriculture and Allied Sciences |
302 Agriculture, 304 Biology/Biological Studies/Biotechnology/Biochemistry, 306 Chemistry, 319 Mathematics/Applied Mathematics, 322 Physics |
At least three subjects from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology and Agriculture/Inter-Agriculture as core subjects |
The programme group covers several undergraduate courses, including B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture, B.Sc. (Hons.) Horticulture, B.Sc. (Hons.) Forestry, B.Sc. (Hons.) Natural Farming, B.Sc. (Hons.) Sericulture, B.Sc. (Hons.) Community Science, B.Sc. (Hons.) Food Nutrition and Dietetics, B.Sc. (Hons.) Agribusiness Management, B.F.Sc., B.Tech. Agricultural Engineering, B.Tech. Dairy Technology, B.Tech. Food Technology and B.Tech. Biotechnology.
Science students generally have the most direct subject combinations for ICAR undergraduate programmes.
Students who studied PCB in Class 12 can select:
Physics + Chemistry + Biology
Similarly, students with PCM can select:
Physics + Chemistry + Mathematics
Students who studied Agriculture in Class 12 may also be eligible to select combinations involving Agriculture, Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Mathematics, depending on the subjects actually studied in Class 12.
For example:
PCB: Physics + Chemistry + Biology
PCM: Physics + Chemistry + Mathematics
PCA: Physics + Chemistry + Agriculture
Agriculture + Biology + Chemistry: For students whose Class 12 subjects include these subjects
The key point is that students should select only subjects that they actually studied and passed in Class 12. ICAR's latest bulletin specifically states that candidates appearing in subjects different from those passed in Class 12 will not be considered for counselling/admission.
Students from the Commerce stream should be careful before applying for ICAR undergraduate programmes.
Commerce students generally study subjects such as Accountancy, Business Studies and Economics instead of the core science subjects required for ICAR Agriculture and Allied Sciences. The latest ICAR eligibility criteria require at least three subjects from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology and Agriculture/Inter-Agriculture.
Therefore, simply appearing for Commerce subjects in CUET does not satisfy the ICAR subject requirement.
For example, a candidate who studied:
Accountancy + Business Studies + Economics
in Class 12 would generally not meet the stated ICAR subject requirement for the Agriculture and Allied Sciences group because these subjects are not part of the prescribed subject list.
Commerce students should therefore check their Class 12 subject combination and the latest ICAR bulletin before applying.
Arts students also need to check their Class 12 subjects carefully.
The latest ICAR-UG eligibility criteria are based on having at least three core subjects from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology and Agriculture/Inter-Agriculture.
Therefore, students who studied subjects such as:
History
Political Science
Geography
Sociology
English
without the required science/agriculture subjects generally would not meet the stated eligibility requirement for the ICAR Agriculture and Allied Sciences group.
However, eligibility can vary depending on the specific programme and university. ICAR also advises candidates to check any additional conditions prescribed by the university they are interested in.
Candidates should know the relevant CUET subject codes while filling out the application form.

These are the subject mappings given in the latest available ICAR-UG 2026 information bulletin and should be treated as a reference until the official CUET (ICAR-UG) 2027 bulletin is released.
Students should keep the following points in mind while selecting subjects:
Candidates should select CUET subjects that they actually studied as core subjects in their qualifying examination. Choosing an unrelated subject can create problems during counselling or admission.
For the Agriculture and Allied Sciences degree group, the latest eligibility criteria require at least three subjects from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology and Agriculture/Inter-Agriculture.
Individual universities may have additional eligibility conditions, such as programme-specific subject requirements or other conditions. Candidates should check the requirements of the university and programme they wish to apply for.
Candidates must select their subjects carefully in the CUET application/registration form. The latest ICAR bulletin states that attempting subjects different from those selected in the application form can result in disqualification from the counselling/admission process.
The ICAR Agriculture and Allied Sciences group includes several undergraduate programmes. These include:
B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture
B.Sc. (Hons.) Horticulture
B.Sc. (Hons.) Forestry
B.Sc. (Hons.) Natural Farming
B.Sc. (Hons.) Sericulture
B.Sc. (Hons.) Community Science
B.Sc. (Hons.) Food Nutrition and Dietetics
B.Sc. (Hons.) Agribusiness Management
Bachelor of Fisheries Sciences (B.F.Sc.)
B.Tech. Agricultural Engineering
B.Tech. Dairy Technology
B.Tech. Food Technology
B.Tech. Biotechnology
ICAR maintains a list of agricultural universities and their programmes, so candidates should also check the participating university and programme details before making their choices.
Since the official CUET (ICAR-UG) 2027 subject mapping is not available yet, students should use the 2026 criteria only as a reference and wait for the official 2027 information bulletin.
Before submitting the CUET 2027 application, candidates should:
Check the latest ICAR-UG information bulletin.
Compare their Class 12 subjects with the ICAR eligibility requirements.
Select at least three eligible subjects where applicable.
Check the subject requirements of their preferred programme.
Check the eligibility conditions of the university they want to join.
Ensure that the subjects selected in the CUET application match the subjects they studied in Class 12.
The official CUET (ICAR-UG) 2027 subject combination has not been released yet. Based on the latest 2026 ICAR criteria, candidates for Agriculture and Allied Sciences must have at least three prescribed Class 12 core subjects and select matching CUET subjects.
Students should use the 2026 requirements only as a reference and verify the official 2027 ICAR bulletin, programme eligibility and university-specific conditions before completing the CUET application.
