MICA - The School Of Ideas

The courses offered here are mostly around marketing and strategic marketing management. And that is what influenced me to opt for this course as it was exactly what I wanted to study. There are subjects and certifications that are offered to students that teach us exactly what Is going on in corporate and with exactly the tools that are being used. We are also taught research in depth incase we gain interest in persuing that. There are some subjects that would benifit more from case based studying and more application based studying. There are mid terms and there are end terms for every term for first year. Their difficulty level is along the level of the teachings in class and if you've paid attention in class the exams are doable. The quizzes happen randomly but are pre informed in the course outline

There are multiple internships and love projects offered to students. 100% placements are provided. I did my summer internship in IndiGo airlines with the marketing team. The project revolved around mrand strategy and the nofilter by indigo campaign.

Students become eligible for summer placements from 1st terms and finals from 4th term. Multiple companies like ITC, HUL, Coca cola, Google have visited campus for placements and we have a 100% placements. The highest package offered is around 36lakhs. And the average is around 19 lakhs. The profiles are all around management and marketing related. My plans after getting my MBA are to work in companies in the marketing side and then join strategy and consulting

The total fees comes out to around 2400000 with around 4 installments. The first installment was around 507000, I don't have the breakup for this. The next installment was 4,13,000. In which tuition was 240000, hostels we're 118000, internet was 25000, and library was 25000. The total fees of 2nd year is 12,04,000. In which hostels are around 2,48,000, internet is 75000.

There are a lot of events happening in the college. From litfest to verve, to micanvas to Kultura to Oorja. There are around 20 student committee that have their own events. The students get engaged on a daily basis for their extracurricular development. There are also multiple sports events that happen in college all the classrooms have projectors. There are multiple labs and IT support is very much available.

There are junior and senior hostels. The junior live with a roommate. The seniors have single rooms. The rooms are given with tables bed mattress chair and a almirah. There is a 4 timing mess. The meals are very good quality and the menu is updated every week. The registration process for hostels is very easy and it is compulsory for all students to live in hostel

I wanted to study marketing and this college is the best marketing college in India. I applied to all other major college of MBA including IIMs. I got into IMT Hyderabad and TAPMI and MICA so chose the latter. I got rejected from major IIMs because of my lower cat score and NMIMS because of interview rejection. Mostly my interview prep style was wrong. For MICA i had to give CAT and MiCAT which also had a psychometric test. post clearing them There was a GE PI round. No cutoffs are released from MICA. The overall admission process was very interesting and stimulated my mind a lot.

Each class has around 50 students for first years and around 70 students for second year. The faculties are very approachable and you can take their help for things apart from their subjects like case competitions etc. the best faculty I would say is professor Subrat Sarangi who thought us strategic management because of his curriculum being very case and application based it thought me a lot about how to approach and structure problems. There are no such faculties i dislike For the first year exams happen 2 times every term and there are 3 terms. So a total of 8 exams. in the second year exams are course dependent. Mostly students pass the exam. And if there is someone who fails they are allowed rechecking and re evaluation. Compared to other management schools our curriculum is very much relevant though still in need for updating.

Yes there was a discription test. A GE and an interview for the admission. The topics were pretty abstractm we had to write arguments about "light up". Interview was around my profile and experiences of internships. There are no other criteria of admission.the preparation of these rounds is very similar to cat prep.

The nightlife is very busy around MICA. There are events, group studies, classes everything. There is a library that is open 24/7. Canteen which is also open 24/7. Hostels have ko timing whatsoever. There is a Gym. Outside the college is mostly construction zone but there are multiple good cafe's nearby. It is relatively safe around the city.
