Course Curriculum Overview
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
Internships Opportunities
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.

Admission
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.
Faculty
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.
Interview Experience
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.
Night Life
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.
