Good news for agriculture graduates! Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) has invited online applications for the post of Agriculture Graduate Trainee (AGT). Selected candidates first get one year of training with a stipend of ₹33,300 per month, and those absorbed after training move to a basic pay of ₹37,000 in the ₹37,000-70,000 scale. The work is in IFFCO field offices across India. If you hold a four-year B.Sc. (Agriculture) degree, this is a solid opening alongside other graduate-level jobs this season.
The last date to apply online is 14 October 2026, and the age is counted as on 1 September 2026. The advertisement does not state the number of vacancies, so do not wait for a seat count before applying. In this article we explain the eligibility, marks rule, stipend, selection tests and the online steps in simple words. Read every section carefully so that one missed line does not cost you the chance. GovtJobsAlert.in will keep you updated as IFFCO moves to the next stage.
IFFCO is a fertiliser cooperative with its head office at IFFCO Sadan, Saket, New Delhi. It is a multi-state cooperative society, not a government department or a PSU, but it recruits through a structured online test process. This drive is only for agriculture graduates who want field-level work with farmers.

IFFCO has not published a vacancy count or a category-wise split in this advertisement, and the careers page does not show one either. Treat it as an open call: if you are eligible, apply, and check the official website for any later notice that adds numbers.
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Degree | Four-year B.Sc. (Agriculture), full-time regular |
| Recognition | University or institute recognised by UGC / AICTE |
| Minimum Marks (General / OBC) | 60% aggregate in B.Sc. (Agriculture) |
| Minimum Marks (SC / ST) | 55% in B.Sc. (Agriculture) |
| CGPA Holders | Convert CGPA into percentage while filling the form |
Please note the words four-year, full-time and regular. A part-time or distance-mode degree does not match this wording, and neither does a general B.Sc. without the Agriculture specialisation. If your marksheet shows CGPA, convert it into a percentage while filling the application form.
You must be well versed in reading, writing and speaking the regional language of the State for which you apply. Knowing more than one language is an added advantage, and knowledge of Hindi is desirable. So choose your State carefully — pick one whose language you can genuinely use in the field with farmers.
| Category | Maximum Age (as on 01.09.2026) |
|---|---|
| General | 30 years |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | 33 years (3 years relaxation) |
| SC / ST | 35 years (5 years relaxation) |

The OBC relaxation applies only to candidates not belonging to the creamy layer. The advertisement does not list relaxation for any other category, so do not assume extra years that are not written in it.
| Stage | Pay |
|---|---|
| During one-year training | Stipend ₹33,300 per month (present rate) |
| After absorption | Basic pay ₹37,000 per month |
| Regular pay scale | ₹37,000-70,000 |
| Allowances and benefits | As per IFFCO rules |
The stipend is fixed “as per rules of the organisation” and ₹33,300 is the present rate. After you complete the one-year training successfully, IFFCO may absorb you, subject to its requirement. The word “may” matters: absorption is not automatic. Once absorbed, you get allowances and benefits on top of basic pay as per IFFCO rules.
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Preliminary Online Test | Computer-based test in an open environment, taken from your own computer or laptop with internet |
| Final Online Test | For candidates short-listed from the preliminary test, held in a controlled environment at designated centres |
| Medical Examination | As per IFFCO’s medical standards, before final selection |
IFFCO management reserves the right to make any change in the selection procedure depending on the number of applications received. The medical clause also refers to candidates “short-listed after Personal Interview”, although the selection procedure itself describes only the two online tests, so watch the official website for any change. The advertisement gives no exam pattern or syllabus yet. Meanwhile, revise your core B.Sc. Agriculture subjects and follow a simple preparation strategy so you are ready when the test dates come.
Since the preliminary test is taken on your own device, arrange a working laptop or computer and a stable internet connection in advance.
Apply only through the online link. The advertisement clearly says that any application sent through any other mode will not be entertained. Keep your B.Sc. (Agriculture) marksheets and, if you are SC, ST or OBC, a valid category certificate ready, because these decide your marks and age eligibility.
