4.8Helpful

Likes

The quality of the visiting faculty is amazing. People leading the industry come to teach
The students are trusted here and are let live. The college thrives on collaboration

Dislikes

The curriculum can get a bit repetitive.
The hostels need to be renovated because their condition is not up to the mark

Admission:

I wanted to study marketing and this college is the best marketing college in India. I applied to all other major college of MBA including IIMs. I got into IMT Hyderabad and TAPMI and MICA so chose the latter. I got rejected from major IIMs because of my lower cat score and NMIMS because of interview rejection. Mostly my interview prep style was wrong. For MICA i had to give CAT and MiCAT which also had a psychometric test. post clearing them There was a GE PI round. No cutoffs are released from MICA. The overall admission process was very interesting and stimulated my mind a lot.

Faculty with high experience and expertise in their fields, always ready to help students
Campus life- Fests, events, competitions, festivals

Sometimes the course can feel a bit overwhelming with some high-pressure days

To avail admission, giving the CAT/XAT is necessary, which is followed by giving MICAT exam. 90 percentile is a good score in CAT while scores in MICAT can vary in a wide range. Exams are followed by a Group Exercise and Personal Interview round. The final merit list is formed after a total evaluation of all the factors involved in the admission process.

Mecca of marketing

The application process is very simple. You will have to write CAT and then MICAT, after applying for admission through the MICA website, they will consider both CAT and MICAT scores and then shortlist people for GEPI based on it. Then after GEPI, they release the final list. There is no reservation and you have two chances to write MICAT with MICAT 1 and MICAT 2 (Both almost 1 month apart). All the details and requirements are present on their official website.

MICA: A memorable experience!

4.5Helpful

There are a variety of specialties available for management degrees, but I became interested in advertising and brand management throughout my graduation. You can apply through the CAT exam and MICAT exam. It is among the top 30 B-schools. Filling out the application form is done online, and you can follow all steps given in the website, and the whole process is smooth.

MICA, Ahmedabad - A Review

"The School of Ideas" - as the motto of MICA goes, this college is perhaps the only business school in India that is dedicated to merging creativity with entrepreneurship. The college solely focuses on marketing and its students stand out among other B-school graduates in roles of Strategic Marketing and Communication. For admissions at MICA, a candidate must give two exams - CAT/XAT and MICAT. No specific cut-offs for either exam are revealed by the institute but a 90 percentile in CAT/XAT along with a 42+ score in MICAT is considered a good score to get a call for GE -PI. MICA's niche in marketing and communication is felt across industries through its notable alumni network. Its curriculum has also upgraded offers subjects in other areas of management like HR and finance etc, however, it is not nearly at par with other b-schools. Therefore, MICA is a good option for all those who have not been able to crack top B-schools and are willing to make a career solely in marketing.

MICAN Madness

4.4Helpful

MICA, the School of Ideas, focuses on creativity, positioning itself as a niche marketing college. The batch size is small relative to the major IIMs, and for its placements receives unique brands like EA and NBA. This was why I decided to pursue my MBA from here. The College has good faculty, with tremendous experience from various colleges. College life and peer to peer learning is the something that is most attractive part in my opinion. But, some of the courses tend to be redundant and can be curated better. I was an education counselor at IMS Learning Resources Pvt Ltd, and through my mentor there, I decided to go to MICA. I preferred this college over MDI and new IIMs as I believe it is more established in the field of Marketing and has good placement prospects as well. Although, if I would have converted my XLRI call I would have chosen XLRI over MICA.

Sneha Aggrawal's Review On MICA Ahmedabad, Ahmedabad

4.7Helpful

One of the good aspects of MICA is its forte in marketing. It is termed as MECCA OF MARKETING! The campus is scenic especially during MICANVAS. The pedagogy adopted is very inclusive. The placements are also decent. The admission criteria include scores of MICAT( held twice), CAT/ XAT/ GMAT, group exercise, personal interview, past academic records as well as work experience. I preferred MICA over my other converts due to my affinity towards marketing and media. I referred to collegedunia, not just in my post-graduation but also in graduation.

Magical MICA

4.3Helpful

The scores of CAT, XAT and GMAT. There are no well-defined cut-offs for this score. The selection criteria include CAT, XAT and GMAT score (anyone can work), MICAT (held twice)-any score above 50 would be great. I preferred MICA over other colleges as its the 'MECCA OF MARKETING' and I have a strong affinity for various areas of marketing and advertising. The pros of the institute are its renowned faculty that includes acclaimed academicians, visiting faculty and industry experts, its serene campus and its strong alumni base. The cons include its quite high fees and its non-favorability for students who aspire to pursue general management, finance or OB-HR as the course curriculum is inclined toward the various dimension of marketing and creativity.
