MICA = 100% Placements With Best Packages.

Placements: MICA is one of the best management institutes which offers various communication-related courses. One of the most surprising factors of MICA is its placement. Every year 100% placement is observed. This can happen because of the reputation of the institute and good alumni network. The highest package at our time was more than 50 Lacs.

Infrastructure: The campus of MICA is very good. Institute provides all the facilities to the students. One can truly enjoy the environment of MICA. Quality of the facilities in the hostel at our time was good. I had never experienced any major problem on the campus in terms of facilities.

Faculty: Course Curriculum at our time was best. And I can guarantee you that it will be the best today also. This is a major advantage of why students can achieve great job opportunities with good pay. Our teachers were teaching us by heart. And also I experienced good quality in their teaching and also in visiting teachers.

Other: After being a Computer Engineer, I want to pursue management in my field which can help me in both ways (technical and management), So I chose MICA for this, as it was the only best Institute providing various communication-related courses.

Review of MICA- The School of Ideas.

Placements: MICA has 100% placements consistently. We have crafted our niche in the field of strategic marketing and communications. Companies offered a wide range of profiles to students of MICA. Profiles offered to students varied from sales manager to brand manager. The highest salary package offer was 58.22 LPA. The average salary package offered was 12.8 LPA, which was substantially higher from the previous batch. Almost 2 students out of 5 grabbed a PPO during the summer internship process. Recruiters were leaders in their respective cohorts. Companies like Sony, Amazon, Google, etc., visited MICA for placements.

Infrastructure: MICA has a world-class pedagogy which ensures that students are equipped with a competitive skill set. This pedagogy is supported by robust infrastructure. Classrooms are equipped with high tech aids which ensures effective learning. The MICA campus is 24x7 Wi-Fi enabled. KEIC is the knowledge centre of MICA and provides around the clock resources for the community. Hostel culture at MICA is probably the best in India.

Faculty: The course is designed according to industry demand; that is the reason students of MICA are able to excel in their field. MICA has always understood the growing demand of the industry and able to incorporate those needs in the curriculum. Faculty is one of the best in the country. They provide courses which cannot be compared with across B-schools.

Other: MICA and its people have made me a new person. I now see myself as an empathetic leader who can impact peoples lives.

Good placements, infrastructure, faculty members, and best people.

Placements: 100% placements are offered. The placement committee works hard to ensure every student is placed. No forced opt-out like in a lot of IIMs and private colleges. Quality of placement with respect to marketing is great. You get exposure to good roles in good companies in both internships and final placements. Companies do trust and respect the MICAN edge.

Infrastructure: Hostels are a little old, no AC in rooms (but that also leads to people changing out in common places a lot instead of just staying in your AC room), and sometimes the wall falls if you close the door strongly. But beautiful campus you will wake up to peacocks and langoors. MICAN walks are to die for. The place is a lake in monsoon. New hostels are being constructed so let's see how that turns out.

Faculty: Good professors are a mixed bag of honesty. Some are great, some we can do without. The curriculum is changing to adapt to what other schools are doing. MICA is losing its USP by reducing culture, media, and communication subjects. PGDM is focusing more and more on data and AI, and PGDM-C is also incorporating it slowly.

Other: Our college has a great culture. MICAN culture is something else. You will not find anything like this in any other college.

MICA is a cultural college.

Placements: Placements are good as per the reports and the highest the lowest packages varied in the range of 8-25 LPA. The top recruiting companies are L'Oréal, Amul, Titan etc. The average stipend offered for an internship was Rs. 70,000 per month with roles offered as a brand manager, sales executive, media person, etc.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are well furnished, and we have 24hours library facility with a load of books. The hostels are very warming and like home. Mess food is one of the best in India. Moreover, Sports is a top priority here. The infrastructure is very nice as the hostels are made like courtyards.

Faculty: MICA is known for its pedagogy with subjects like semiotics which are not taught in any other B-school in India. And which is very relevant to the marketing field we are studying in. The students get all the knowledge required for industry, and the industry will get future-ready leaders.

Other: I have chosen this course because I was always inclined towards marketing domain, so MICA was my first and last resort. The college provides culture and extracurricular activities and variety of students are present here is something that no other college can provide.

MICA's is great but some place its weaker than other IIM like that of finance.

Placements: According to the past data the placements are 100%. The highest package was around 58 with 12.8 avg and 2 out of 5 students bagged PPO. Top recruitment companies were Amul, Amazon, Loreal, DD mudra etc. The roles of brand manager, management trainee, account planner, Product Manager etc. Were offered. 100% students GOT internship in amazon, google, hul, amul etc.

Infrastructure: Mica is known for its unique infrastructure and pedagogy. The culture here is set parallel to its infra. Campus is surrounded with lush green trees and around 1000+ trees are planted here. Wi-Fi facilities are up to the mark and library is known as Keic centre which is one of the best among indian b-schools. Mica is well known for its sports facilities and chotha canteen which sets apart its creative culture.

Faculty: Course curriculum is designed with great research and methodology. Communication is the edge of mica. How cultural change reflects product or consumer in corporate is beautifully taught by faculty. There is sort of struggle in Finance related subjects, but gradually senior faculty members are working on it also. Else for marketing Mica has one of the best faculty.

Other: I always admired Marketing my core domain to study and mica fulfills all my needs and dream, but nowadays mica culture is loosing is faith and it is becoming more of a normal BM school like of IIM, The uniqueness is loosing its charm so I really want mica to sustain its culture that sets it apart from other MBA students in corporate.
