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.

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.

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.

This place helps you understand humanity over ruthless competition.

Placements: The college has recorded 100% placements in both the summer and final placements. However, most of the companies prefer students with some good experience. There is a mix of industries represented in the placements to give varied options for students to apply.

Infrastructure: Hostels are meant to keep the students close to NIT, and you will value the way they were built if you spend some days there. The mess is the best one that you'd find in any college. Even a doctor visits the campus daily. The library is a blessing for students, and it is equipped with all the books that a student needs. The college is strong with its sports culture, and there are dedicated courts for volleyball, frisbee, football, lawn tennis, table tennis, basketball, and cricket, etc.

Faculty: As far as the faculty members are concerned, some faculty are good, some are average, some are amazing, and a very few are poor. Since most of them are from the industry, they teach concepts that are quite relevant to the industry. Most lectures are taken using presentations, case studies, and flipped classrooms. Some subjects are extremely challenging while others are easy.
