"The ICAR strongly objects to such baseless allegations that are not just factually incorrect but are highly misleading as well. As a matter of fact, all the recent recruitments have been done strictly as per the Model Qualifications duly approved by the Competent Authority," an official release said.

It said there is no change in Essential Qualifications (EQs) for the post of Director, Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi since the EQs were revised previously and the previous Director of IARI, New Delhi (Dr. A. K. Singh) who superannuated in June 2024 was appointed in 2019 with the same qualifications that have been advertised for current recruitment process.
