ASRB ICAR Exam Sample PapersICAR Exam Pattern
Recruitment exam for ICAR Agriculture Assistants is just round the corner and many of you may be searching for the prep materials for this exam - The exam pattern, Syllabus, Sample Papers & Books for ICAR Agriculture Assistants exam. The purpose of this blog post is precisely that: to help you with sample papers & books for this ICAR exam along with an analysis of the exam pattern.

In a separate blog article I have posted the syllabus for ICAR Agriculture Assistants exam. You can also go through my previous blog post titled: ICAR ASRB Assistant Recruitment 2011 Dates Eligibility Forms to know how to apply for this exam.

Pattern of ICAR Agriculture Assistants Exam:
Selection process for ICAR Agriculture Assistants consists of two written test - Prelims (200 marks) & Mains (200 marks). The Preliminary exam is of Objective type and is conducted ONLINE in 66 exam centres all over India. The Mains exam is on the other hand of Descriptive type.

Sample/Model paper for ICAR Agriculture Assistants Exam:
As you can find in the above exam pattern for ICAR Agriculture Assistants, there is no paper for specialization (i.e. Agriculture). The weight is on three areas - English language, GK & Aptitude.

However point to note is that the Preliminary exam would be conducted online! So those of you who have never appeared in Online tests, it would be essential for you to have some experience on a real online test environment. For this I searched on net for Online mock/demo test and came up with this Demo Online Test for ICAR Exam by connectagri.com. Although this is an agriculture specialization sample paper, nevertheless, it would give you the online test experiences.

I had searched on the net for the previous years/model paper for ICAR Agriculture Assistants exam but however I could not find any authentic exam papers. In absence of the same, I suggest following sample papers of FCI Assistant Exam to be used to familiarize yourself with various exam sections, as the exam pattern of FCI Agriculture Assistants is similar to to that of ICAR:

This FCI (assistant grade III) GK Paper has 40 solved questions.

But as you can find from above, these sample papers can only serve as eye openers. For a more systematic preparation, base your preparation on the plan of bank PO/clerical exams.
