Course Curriculum Overview:

Apart from the general courses in marketing like principles of marketing, product management, and sales, etc. MICA has some really innovative and disruptive courses to offer, like semiotics and media studies. The faculty also is top-notch, especially in media and communication areas. Since the number of students is low, and apart from the usual faculty a number of industry experts are also guest lecturers at MICA, students are able to get the personalized attention they seek. Classrooms are always interactive, with live case study discussions and problem-solving. A typical marketing management class (in the online mode) would comprise 75 minutes which would cover 30 minutes of theory (in recorded class) followed by 45 minutes (live class) of case study discussion. There are some subjects related to other business areas as well but the number of hours taught is less. The evaluations are fairly technical and are a mix of both quizzes and assignments to make the learning more wholesome.

Course Curriculum Overview:

As mentioned earlier, the courses in the first year establish the base for students in the field of marketing. Each classroom has about 50 students to one faculty member teaching. many of the faculty have teaching experience in the Top IIMs and other top B-schools. One of the faculty was chosen as the professor of the year for Inside IIM. The term exams were challenging in many aspects and some were extremely difficult to pass. While on the other hand, some were easy to pass. Hence, I would say average overall in terms of difficulty.

Course Curriculum Overview:

This course from this college will add so much value to my personal and professional growth so, I choose this course. Faculty here are well-experienced and have great knowledge skills. College is known for subjects like semiotics which is not taught in any of the other b-schools in India and therefore the teachers here are also exceptional in their teaching skills. The curriculum for the year is planned well before so everything goes as planned and there is no delay in any of the process including exams. It is tough to cope up with the new learnings but at the same time, it is too much fun which makes the process easier and enjoyable.
