    Faculty: Great faculty, finely designed courses, and best of the best visiting faculty and industry experts visit the campus on a regular basis. We get to learn a lot from these experiences. The best part about MICA and its faculty is that they all are experts in their domain, and they all also have industry experience.
    Other: It would be unfair to mention things hear, the best way is to come to the campus, and find out about the things yourself.

    Our college provides excellent placements and wonderful teaching.
    Placements: The placement process went quite smoothly and efficiently in our batch. Almost 90% of the batch got a job through the campus placement process. The top recruiting companies were ITC, Tata Group, Reliance Industries, Nestle, etc. The highest salary package offered was 12 LPA, and the average salary package offered is 6 LPA. The lowest salary package offered was 3.5 LPA. Almost 99% of the batch managed to get internships in similar organisations.
    Infrastructure: Our college has a well-maintained infrastructure facility that consists of the college building, classrooms, laboratories, and canteen. The mess and canteen food are hygienic and affordable. The hostel facility is also maintained properly and all the rooms are neat and clean. There is an encouragement given to and special provisions for sports activities too.
    Faculty: Professors are very supportive, helpful, highly qualified, and knowledgeable. They are the masters of their subjects and the teaching quality is excellent. The course curriculum is up-to-date and it made us industry-ready. The semester exams have a moderate to a high level of difficulty and require out-of-the-box thinking and a lot of reading beyond the textbooks.

    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.

    I am very satisfied with the course.
    Placements: There were 100% placements in MICA. About 88 companies participated in campus placements. The average salary package offered here was about 14 LPA. Companies like Lenskart, Aditya Birla, IBM, Mahindra Rise, Raymond, etc., hired students from here. For internships, the average stipend offered was Rs. 80,000 per month.
    Infrastructure: In-campus residential facilities are provided to students, and the facilities are good here. Our campus is extremely good. It has been designed to provide an experience to students. Our campus has Wi-Fi facilities for students so that they can learn at their convenience.
    Faculty: The faculty members are qualified and experienced in MICA, who make students industry-ready. Our institute invites visiting faculty members as well to provide insight into the industry for students. One of the most important reasons for students to get internships and placements with such good salary packages is the course curriculum.

    The cut-off mark for Mudra institute of communications depends upon the exam and the candidate’s category. For CAT, a percentage of 80 to 85 percent is considered safe for shortlisting. For GMAT, a score above 600 is considered good.
