MICAT Exam Pattern 2027

MICAT 2027 Exam Pattern

The MICAT 2027 exam pattern is expected to remain similar to the previous admission cycle. Conducted by the Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad (MICA), MICAT is a Computer-Based Test (CBT) designed to assess candidates’ analytical ability, creativity, communication skills, and personality traits. The examination is divided into three sections—Psychometric Test, Descriptive Test, and Aptitude Test. Candidates must qualify the Psychometric Test before their performance in the remaining sections is evaluated.

Unlike most MBA entrance examinations, MICAT includes both objective and subjective questions. While there is no negative marking in the Psychometric and Descriptive sections, the Aptitude Test carries a negative marking of 0.25 marks for every incorrect answer. The total duration of the examination is 135 minutes, and the test is conducted in English.
