MICA Admissions Test (MICAT) PGDM Admission 2012
PGDM-C Admission 2012-2014
Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad (MICA) is an autonomous non-profit management education institution. MICA has set a precedent as the first residential academic institution in the country and perhaps in the Asia-Pacific region wholly dedicated to meeting the needs of the integrated marketing communications industry. MICA complements the role that management education plays in modernizing and professionalizing communications-driven businesses.
MICA's Flagship PGDM-C:
MICA's Post-graduate Programme Diploma in Management (Communications) has made a remarkable pace for itself since its inception in 1994. The active PGDM (Communications) has evolved into one of the premier programmes in the country, endorsed by 100 per cent campus placements with the best corporate houses in India and in recent times, abroad. MICA's stringent selection norms coupled with the rigour of the curriculum ensure a highly committed, creatively and innovatively anchored, professionally oriented communications manager skilled in the practice, development and management of communications for industry and society. This programme is approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Association of Indian University (AIU) which equates it with an MBA degree.
Curriculum Design:
The strength of this programme lies in its strong and contemporary curriculum, the knowledge and experience of the core and visiting faculty, the exposure to industry and the diverse profiles of students. The curriculum is flexible and is updated annually in consultation with practicing managers to ensure inclusion of current practices and cases. The students are, thus, exposed to the latest domain knowledge in the management and communication areas.
MICA also maintains industry interaction through various activities like training, consultancy and joint research with student bodies such as MICAMINDS, MICANVAS and the MICA Lecture Series. The individual research and consultancy that faculty undertake contribute to the depth of learning in the post-graduate programme. The intellectual capital available at MICA provides a challenging environment for the students in terms of the rigour and conceptualisation required to successfully complete the programme.
Admissions Criteria:
Admission to the PGDM(C) programme requires a Bachelor's degree (in keeping with the 10 + 2 + 3 (4) system) with minimum 50% marks, or an equivalent qualification in any discipline recognised by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU). Candidates appearing for final examinations towards a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) are also eligible to apply.
Students who demonstrate aptitude for expressing, assessing, or conceiving ideas that move people to action and achieve business results tend to stand a better chance of being shortlisted.
