MICA

MICA has three phases of selection:

Phase 1

A candidate will have to appear for CAT/XAT/GMAT in order to be eligible for the later stages of the selection process. 

Phase 2

Now, the candidate will have to appear for MICA’s internal test – MICAT. The MICAT exam is conducted twice, once in December and once in February.

 

MICAT consists of 3 sections –

Section A – Psychometric Test.

Section B – This section consists of 4 sub-sections

1. a) Verbal Ability
2. b) Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation
3. c) General Awareness
4. d) Divergent & Convergent Thinking

Section C – Descriptive Test

After this, the candidates will be shortlisted for the Group Exercise & Personal Interview round.

The following is the shortlisting process for the GE-PI round –

1. Those who meet the cut-offs for Section A (Psychometric Test) of MICAT will be selected.
2. The CAT/XAT scores of the selected candidates will then be considered. Candidates who meet the minimum cut-off set by MICA will then move on to the next step of the shortlisting process.
3. Section B performance of the selected candidates will be evaluated. Candidates will be filtered further, and will then be assessed on the basis of their performance in Section C of MICAT.
4. Candidates who meet all the cut-offs will then be shortlisted for the GE-PI round at Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Delhi, Kolkata & Mumbai.
5. The final composite score for the GE-PI round is calculated by considering 50% of the CAT/XAT score and 50% of the MICAT scores.
