So if the website says that CAT/GMAT/MAT scores will be accepted for the PGPCME then does it leave candidates like me,who will be sitting for the MICAT directly,at a disadvantage at any level?
I hope this much of clarification will do.And I hope you will answer my queries now.
Thank you,once again.

Hi

Now it is clear. I suggest you get in touch with Prof. Gautam Raj Jain - gautam@mica.ac.in with your queries. He is better equipped to answer them as he has conceptualised the PGPCME and directs it.

Good luck

the site says:

Is this a decided fact already? ie the percentiles for call are already fixed?

Secondly, approximately how many students give the MICAT and how many are called for the next stage?

Hi

This year we wanted to fix the percentile so there is a clarity for those applying. And I don't have to repeatedly answer 'what's the likely cut off' question !!

Last year we called approximately 1200 for MICAT and about 600 for GE, PI. This may not be the same this year as it will again depend on no of applicants meeting the specified criteria.

Good Luck

1. I have a GMAT score of 680 (50 in QA, 32 in VA, 5 in AWA)..do you see sectionals in GMAT..if so will my 32 in VA good enough to get a call?
2. I have given CAT also...I expect to clear the required minimum cut off in all the 3 sections and overall required for MICA..but don know whether I will get 85+ percentile in Verbal..I expect 75+ in VA..so if I submit both my CAT and GMAT scores, will MICA consider the best of the two?
3. If all ppl (or most of the ppl) who apply for MICA satisfy the minimum cut off requirement, then what other factors you see to give a call for MICAT..Will a not so high percentile in VA act against my selection in this case?..or is it like all ppl who apply and satisfy the minimum critera get a call for MICAT?
4. Once a person gets a call for MICAT, is he in the same level with all others who get a call..meaning once a person get a MICAT call, will his CAT percentile or GMAT score play any part in the further selection processes.

Thanks in Adv,
Raghu

Hi Raghu

1. No sectional in GMAT
2. If you submit both your scores, the best of two will be taken.
3. If all those who applied meet the defined cut-offs, all get called for MICAT. The more the merrier, I guess.
4. It is MICAT scores that then get you call for GE/PI. and once at GE/PI, you will be surprised that many with high CAT scores do not necessarily do very well at GE/PI.

Hope that answers all your queries. BTW, i quite like the way you write with clarity, to the point. Keep it up.

Best Wishes
Deval

Dear Sir/Mam,
I am Interested in Executive 15 months communication management, I have some queries, and would be grateful to you if you could answer,

1) I had appeared for last yr XAT and my percentile was 95%ile with 99.29 in VA, Will my last yr XAT score remains valid or shall I retake the exam this yr as well

2) I understand the the first Batch is yet to pass out, but compared to the two yr program, what kinda profile a 3 yr IT guy having experience in customer engagement and quality engineering can expect after passing out from the course? I actually mean here is what Kinda response you have recieved from the industry for the placement of the current batch of students.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sanjay

You are right. the first batch is yet t go for placement. So difficult to say right now. Please get in touch with Prof. Hemant Trivedi, his id is hemant@mica.ac.in

He will be able to guide you better.

So once we clear the preliminary cut-offs, we r all on equal ground, isnt it?
would the CAT score be given any consideration during the GE/ PI?

my personal favourite (DI) has proved to be my nemesis...
hope i scrape through the cutoffs...??:

otherwise C U in the 2009 season, MICA....:icon_cry:

[the bourne]

cutoff..n previous year exp...85%ile last year in qa...)
