MICA has several courses in Marketing and Communcations than any other B school.

Work ex is useful but not a must. We have about 60% freshers as any good course requires a balance of work-ex and freshers to bring different perspectives to learning!

Hello Ma'am,

I had a query. I heard from some friends that there are a lot of companies which come to MICA with corporate communication profile and not marketing profile.I have 20 months work experience in a reputed company. From my experience and from the experience of my seniors across industries, I gather that a corp comm profile does not require a MBA as there is no/little strategic thinking involved.Also, there is nill growth.
Can you please clarify, as to if we seriously do get such profiles in MICA as I havent heard such profiles being offered in any other school focussing on marketing.

Thanks a lot.

Naval.

Hello Madam,

It's great to have you here with us.I am planning to apply to MICA through my GMAT score, but in the GMAT website, there is no option of sending scores to MICA.
Does this mean that we will be given calls for MICAT based on the GMAT scores we have mentioned in the form or there is something else that needs to be done?

Regards,
Vishwa

hello ma'm

i am an engineering undergraduate in computer science. I want to pursue a career that gives ample scope for creativity and at the same time financial security.I just came to know about MICA and decided that its right place to be. Though i am confident and hopefull of making it,but since i have average marks in my graduation i am very much concerned and confused about how much weightage do the graduation marks carry in the admission process .
i would be grateful if you you help me with this query.Are the graduation marks considered to be a principle parameter for judging the potential of a candidate and may play a decisive role in selection?

i dont have much extra curricular certificates either but i have enrolled for diploma in creative writing in english from IGNOU .would that add to my candidature?

vickyGroup exercises require you to work towards a solution, together as a group. In a normal GD, you just have to discuss, not necessarily arriving at a conclusion.

In MICA's GE, you're expected to arrive at one, for example, last year my group's GE was choose 5 colours individually and then together with your group decide upon 3 colours that the Earth will be made up of.

Here, together with knowledge, your ability to work in a team is also tested and I think it makes a lot more sense than other school's GDs.

Hi Ma'am,

I have close to 3 years of work-ex in IT (SAP Domain). However my interest lies in Advertising, Communications etc.
I came to know about the 1 year Executive PG program in Communications management from MICA for people with work-ex. I'm really interested in this program.

• I would like to know what is the kind of placements/profiles one can expect after this course.
• MICA website says one should need atleast 3 years of work-ex for applying. Should this work-ex be in a similar field like Marketing or Communications? Since I'm from IT background, will it be a disadvantage for me?

Thanks & Regards
Walker.

Hello,
I'm very happy to see this thread.
I am one of the many keen MICA aspirants and my doubt pertains to GMAT and its acceptance.
Due to professional reasons,i'm not able to write the exam this year,i'll be taking it mostly around Jan end. however the last date for MICA form submission is Jan 20th. is it possible for me to apply without the score and send in the score later.?
Do reply as soon as possible,as I have to decide on a suitable date for the test based on your response.
Thank you so much
Janani
