Hi Amogh,
Good beginning!
Here are the replies
1. What is the admission criteria ?
Minimum 50% at graduation level. if you are in last year, cumulative of the earlier years.
2. What was the cutoff last year ?
Had both overall and sectional.
Overall, minimum 90 percentile.
Sectional: Quant 50 percentile, DI 50 percentile, Verbal 60 percentile.
3. How are placements for Freshers in Marketing and which companies picked such candidates ?[/QUOTE]
Many companies like Titan, Loreal, Virgin Mobile, Motorola +++ look for freshers as they have a well planned MT programme. All these companies come regularly and recruit.
Best wishes
Deval

Hi Ankit,
The deadline for filling the forms is 27th January. Invest that money somewhere till then  . Once you get your GMAT/CAT result, fill up. Do this for most institute whose deadline is after CAT so you know how you have performed and then apply.
Cheers
Deval

Hi,
MICA is about Communications Management and offers specializations in Brand Management, Advertising Management, Media Management and Marketing Research. A strong base in marketing is essential for any of these.
In a typical Marketing/Brand Management job, other than sales & distribution, supply chain management, pricing, packaging etc, you must also know brand communication, consumer research, media planning etc. That's where MICAn have a strong hold.
MICAns do get in to marketing focussed companies like Titan, Loreal, Motorola, P&G and look in to entire gamut of marketing activities. The skillsets they bring in set them apart from others.
