Hi evry1,

Firstly, gr8 initiative by MICAns...esp. chuck_gopal & bschoolalumni. This thread rocks!!

I'm an engg. (CSE) student frm Govt. Engg. College, Ujjain (MP) & of course, a MICA aspirant. I hv some questions to ask all senior pagals in MICA.

1. What exactly is MICAT? Can I get a sample paper from somewhere? How does one prepare for it?

2. Please explain the GE process in detail.

3. What are the MICA Gods looking for, in a candidate at the time of GE/PI?

4. Are there any essays that an aspirant has to write during GE/PI or MICAT? (I saw fleeting remarks about this in the thread, but would love to get the whole picture.)

5. This one is outright silly, I know, but still....The website says last date for registration is Jan 17 '09...does that mean I can register myself after CAT? That would be awesome!

6. I've been a debator, a playwright, an extempore participant, School Head Boy, essay writer, cricketer, advertising contest enthusiast etc. Now, I've a blog too, albeit going through infancy right now!:laugh: Does the extra-curricular side of mine suit the MICA milieu? (I may not have certificates to show for one or two of the above! )

Senior MICAns, plz pour in with ur views...an early and thorough reply is what I request for!!

Thanx-a-ton in advance!!!

Abhishek

@megha.angel03

I am no mica student. I am a mica aspirant just as you are. I am telling u from what I have read and heard from seniors. Mica will do shortlisting for micat on the basis of CAT/GMAT score....BTW mica is not just for advertising. Mica provides PGDM in communications(Integrated marketing communications).But mica degree will help you if u wanna get into advertising. What it means to us? We get to learn the concepts of marketing just as the student of any other b-school. But we use communications as a tool. I mean with marketing we study additional media part ie how to use media as a tool for marketing. We can specialise in different fields of communication like account planning for advertising industries(like lowe), marketing research for marketing research companies(like AC Nielsen org-marg), media management for media agencies(like mindshare) or brand management and get into any company...MICAT is the second stage of mica selection process. Read the previous mica threads to know the details about MICAT.

@namanagarwal

PG does not allow comparison of b-schools. Every college is good in its own way. But as far as communications is concerned, mica is god. You wont find an institute in asia that better than mica in communications.
Mica doesnot provide courses in finance. But if you wanna study marketing, mica is the place.

I hope I have had a decent shot at clearing your doubts.. Seniors, correct me if I am wrong...

cheers
