MICA is an academic institution that has been set up to develop professional communication skills in India. The institute primarily aims at imparting relevant education to young men and women with a view to provide them with the expertise to become effective communications professionals. The institute also aims to conduct research in communication as applied to the needs of the communications industry. Through such research, the intent is to create and share new knowledge in this fast growing and increasingly important field.
As part of its agenda, MICA also means to collaborate with other institutions, both Indian and foreign, to jointly work on expansion of the knowledge base in the field of communication and its related areas.
Programs -
Broadly, there are two types of programmes that MICA offers:
* Post-Graduate Programmes.
* Professional Development Programmes.
Professional Development Programmes (PDPs) are short duration programmes for working professionals from industry. The duration of these programmes generally varies between two and seven days, and seminars and workshops between one to three days.
The Post-Graduate Programme in Communications Management (PGPCM) is the most prestigious programme of MICA. This is a two-year residential programme
Eligibility -
To pursue PGPCM programme in MICA, one has to fulfil the following eligibility conditions:
A three-year Bachelor’s degree (as in the 10 + 2 + 3 system) or an equivalent qualification in any discipline recognised by the Association of Indian Universities. Candidates appearing for the final examination of Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) can also apply.
Students with demonstrable aptitude for conceiving, expressing or assessing ideas that move people to action and achieve business results, will stand better chances of being selected.
Admission
The admission process for the PGPCM involves three steps:
All candidates seeking admission to the PGPCM are required to take CAT/ XAT/ GMAT as the first step.
NRIs and Foreign Nationals are eligible to sit for the MICA Test (MICAT) without taking CAT/ XAT with a minimum GMAT score of 600.
CAT/ XAT/ GMAT scores from up to two years prior to the current year will also be accepted.
