Dear Sir\Madam,

I am very sad about your selection procedure. On one hand, you mention no sectional cut-off on your website and then while result you take sectional cut off.

Very sorry to learn that no regard is placed on other persons hard earned income. A person may not have applied to your institute if this would not have been mentioned on your website. The decision to apply to your institute was taken by me after I got my CAT result.
It was only after I learnt that your institute would not check sectional scores, which I had applied. My hard earned money would have been spent on some other good work only if you had not mentioned that you will not have any sectional cut offs.
Now talking to a Faculty member in your Marketing Department I learnt that you took a late decision to take sectional cut offs.
I demand an answer to as to why did you not be true to what you wrote and then if you decided to go against this thing then why are you not disclosing the real cut off? There is some amount of transparency I demand.
MICA had earned a good amount of respect among students but now when we are being cheated this way I ask, What is it that you intend to teach as marketing techniques to the students of this institute?. To take money by first telling about no sectional cut offs and then to change it by saying that The institute reserves the right to change the selection criteria mid way.
I demand:
1. Official declaration by you regarding the final and sectional cut offs.
2. Answer to as how can you change the admission criteria after declaring the same on your website,
3. Refund of my hard-earned money that was taken by you by MISLEADING us.
4. Transparency in your selection procedure.

i support this thing. and please dont take this thing as cribbing. A institute urges people to apply by conforming no sectionals even by personal mails. And how do you back out then? Other than that also some things happening on the MICA forum here itself are fishy. I would like to point at that those too. Please do no close this thread. MICA has played a big dirty trick for attracting people, and its time somebody speaks for it

pura ka pura support hai... aapki party ko... 😁

count on me as well... ne ways this thread gonna be part of history soon

I am with u Sapnak.....

I do not remember my form no. so I could not check my result as of yet ... But dosent matter how it turns out for me , I think that u guys should pursue this furthur... If they said that they would not take sectionals and based on that you applied then u have been cheated , not nice... Why dont u take this to the top , send a mail to the top brass of mudra abt this , I think its reliance guys who own it , lets see what reply u get from them...:neutral::neutral::neutral:

Ok Some of the issues i would like to raise:

1)The crirteria used for selection, especially when the insitutute goes boom boom announcing "No sectionals" No Sectionals"
No to some of the marketing gimmicks:

Mica says last years cuto-off was 85 and expect it to be lower this year. Here is the proof: It is contradicted in.

Most important one:
Its pa-gal omnipresent in the MICA thread and mostly the current students of the college stay away. Who is pa-gal? She is not a student, nor alumni, nor a aspiring student. She says her name is Divya Joshi, and has done research on MICA. What is that? A Phd in MICA? here is the post that contradicts and tells us who she is: Post number 11 on http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/b-school-student-discussions/11435-life-mica.html#post291162

She seems as actually being a part of MICA. Her\His actual name is Deval Karthik. Now what sort of marketing is this? A admissions officer posing as someone else... If you go through all her post you will realise how cleverly shes lured hundreds of people to apply to MICA

Anyone from MICA to comment?

I have more to say...

Hai everyone,

I am in too. What they have done is both morally & legally wrong. Bad & unethical advt. from the best institute of advt. I know many friends who feel cheated but dont appear on pagalguy. They are with us too! I urge everyone to swarm mica with emails & phone calls asking for explaination. Many of my friends have consulted lawyers too. They say we do have a legal standing as mica has contradicted itself. Also, AICET should be notified of lack of transparency. If mica doesnt do anything quickly, this is going to be dirty man!

They just dont owe us our application fees,postal charges but punitive damages too. All this is not one person's job, we all have to stand tall for this wrong done to us. Pagalguyplease support us. This is a very hot topic & we have only ur portal to discuss. :grab:

hi,
just to tell that it was not me who wrote on their website that no sectional cutoffs. it was mica.

secondly if you read my mail carefully my complaint against them is that i would not have applied with my skewed score of 94.1% if had it not been for their reassurance that no sectional cutoffs.

i am demanding that they accept that they had real bad marketing tactics. a person like me would surely not have wasted my money after receiving my cat result.

Hi Guys,
I do not remember my form number so couldnt ckeck on the site. Called up MICA and the chap said that I wasnt in.But still hopin for the website confirmation(will look for the form number).
Anyways , I am totally with this thread cos I also felt that only overall cut offs will be considered> But I think I was wrong.
I had 99+ in VA but bad in quant.
I dunno what to say guys , too stunned to talk about this pa-gal/deval kartik matter too.I have corresponded with this person. Seems like a nice person but then this dual identity thing , I am not sure bout.
Again , hoping that MICA becomes clear with their selection criteria next year.
PS : I hope the Mods do not close this thread.Atleat if they have to then they should do it now or else post here that they wont !!

Hey if MICA ppl were facing cash problems, then why didnt they just ask for ppl to donate to their institute instead of MISLEADING innocent student into buying thousand buck forms ?? when it clearly says that no sectional cutoffs will be applied, how the hell can they do this now ?? the bastards. not only did ppl who gave cat this year suffer from this gross injustice but even ppl who got good cat scores of last yr would have suffered since they accpeted scores of cat04 as well. MICA has really lowered its public image. MICA SUCKS.

Stabbed in the back...

Mods: Please let this thread continue. This is different from Fore.


Please Mods something has to be done...
As form selling is the easiest source of revenue...
And MICA has proved that...

Good going mate
Me with u
Its a crazy world and hell, why shud we pay for it
My XAT score:
Verbal Ability 99.390
Quantitative Ability 96.580
Data Interpretation & Logical ability 63.190
Total Percentile
98.130
and no MICA call!!

and why the hell are the mods closing MICA links ??whatever happened to free speech?? This is a damn important matter which we need to discuss, and this is not CHINA. porbably the mods who belong to MICA want to hide this whole episode... but they CANT.


my thread has been closed did i do something wrong by raising voice

Anyways i mailed them too and called and talk to there prof and guys here it goes
me- ya mam i got 93.13 percentile can i know why i m not selcted
mam -gaurav can i know ur sectionals
me -why do u need my sectionals mica specifed there wont be any sectional on their site and i even called up to confirm and confirmed by mail so how u can now say there has been sectionals i applied because there wasnt any sectionals
mam -ya gaurav i realize tht many of students are getting tensed because of it but i have higher authorities above me who decides the criteria so we cannot help it out
me-but its illegal i mean i can sue mica for negative publisity
mam-ya sure u can but we have our own policy and we can change criteria any time according to our requirement so cant help it and im sure u might have other calls to so start preparing for them
damn and it goes on like this for arnd 20 min and she accepted its there fault and said sorrie but she cant help so wht now

okee guys as i earlier said i m going to revolt against mica i have tapped my coversation with this prof ya they are very soft spokenb but tht doesnt help out so now i have proofs with me will go to some lawyer and ask wht can be done mica cant just say sorrie and runaway with our money and the problem is not money here we spent thousands on other inst too the problem is lack of transparency in results okee u can increase cutoff for selecting students can keep upper cutoff thts all valid reasons but this is not done once u saying we are not going forsectionals and then u changing ur mindset after we paid u thts illegal and if u didnt knew we will be getting such high number of forms why u said we are not going for sectionals openly

this is a democratic country. and we have the right to raise our voice against the injustice. moreover we have the RIGHT TO INFORMATION

it is high time that the business people in the field of education to be realised that they are doing no good by simply commercialising the entire thing

puys though i am through first satge of the MIca process but at thesame time i do sympathise with all those who oculd not get through even with good scores.
apart from the DISASTROUS selection process there is something important also which speak volumes about our/our parents hard earned money.
the MICA call letter asks to bring along rs 500/- draft/cheque otherwise you will not be allowed to appear for the second round.
what is rs 1300/- at the time of application for? they hav e earned so much by the no. of applications and at the same time no. of candidates have been rejeted too. why do they need extra 500 bucks for
is this all money minting thing going on? of coure it is BUSINESS school and if they dont do the BUSINESS who else will?

you should definitely sue these ppl.. even if nothing comes out of it atleast gov can instruct them to give mandatory disclosure of selection criteria, as with imi this year..
