IFFCO AGT Recruitment 2026

Agriculture Graduate Trainee Posts | Apply Online till 14 October 2026 | Stipend ₹33,300/Month

1. Recruitment at a Glance

⚠ No Fixed Vacancy Number: Unlike most government job notifications, IFFCO has not announced a fixed number of vacancies for AGT 2026. Selection and final appointment depend purely on IFFCO’s internal requirement at the time — so don’t wait for a “vacancy count” update; focus your energy on preparation instead.

2. Eligibility Criteria

Important: the degree must be “full-time and regular” — a part-time, distance or correspondence B.Sc. Agriculture degree will most likely not be accepted, so check your degree type carefully before applying. Also, part-time (distance mode) B.Sc. Agriculture holders should contact IFFCO or check the official PDF for clarity, since this condition is strictly worded in the notification.

4. Selection Process

5. Exam Pattern — Preliminary Online Test (Based on Previous Year Pattern)

The Preliminary Test typically runs for 45 minutes. Notice how “Agriculture” alone carries 100 out of 150 marks — nearly two-thirds of your total score — so this single subject should get the lion’s share of your study time, not an equal split across all six subjects.

8. Training, Stipend & Career Growth

• Training Period: 1 year, during which you are designated an Agriculture Graduate Trainee.
• Stipend During Training: ₹33,300 per month — paid while you are being trained on the job.
• After Training: On successful completion of training, and subject to IFFCO’s requirement at that time, candidates may be absorbed into the regular establishment.
• Regular Pay Scale After Absorption: Basic pay of ₹37,000 per month in the pay scale of ₹37,000 – ₹70,000, plus applicable allowances and benefits as per IFFCO rules.

Note the word “may” carefully — absorption into a regular post after training is not 100% automatic; it depends on IFFCO’s requirement at that time. Still, this is a standard and common pathway at IFFCO, and most trainees who perform well during training do get absorbed.

10. Preparation Tips

• Since Agriculture alone covers 100 of 150 marks in the preliminary test, revise your core B.Sc. Agriculture subjects (Agronomy, Soil Science, Plant Breeding, Horticulture, Agricultural Economics) thoroughly before touching the other sections.
• Split daily study time roughly 50% on learning new concepts and 50% on revision and practice — consistent revision matters more than cramming new topics close to the exam.
• Practice previous year question papers and mock tests to understand the real difficulty level and question style.
• For General Awareness, follow agriculture-related current affairs and cooperative-sector news from the last six months — don’t rely only on static GK.
• Since the regional language and communication-skills interview round matters, practise explaining basic agriculture concepts clearly in both English/Hindi and your regional language.
