Which areas are emphasized in the G. K. Section ?

04:29 PM

Hello Shivika, brands are emphasized in GK. Bit of current affairs too

04:32 PM

Read up about all the brands that you come across daily. There were questions on economic times hindu as brands, there were questions on large conglomerates AD campaigns etc

04:33 PM

Good evening ma'am! What is the GE process like ?

04:34 PM

Ma'am, How is mica different from conventional B-schools?

04:36 PM

The GE process is anything unlike a typical GD. In GE you will be made into groups of members and given a problem statement that you have to tackle.creativity group behavior, execution skills are adjudged here

04:36 PM

MICA is a Institute known for marketing and communication specialization. Theirs is a focused course in marketing and communications whereas other bschools offer the chance to specialize in various domains of management

04:39 PM

Ma'am what should be the score in micat so that one stands a high chance in getting a call ?

04:41 PM

Minimum score*

04:41 PM

The cutoff varies every year it would be difficult to predict the cut off for this year since cat/xat score has been given 50% weightage in GEPI shortlisting

04:44 PM

Ma'am on their site, it is mentioned that only 30% weightage would be given ?

04:45 PM

For GEPI shortlisting 50% MICAT score and rest 50% CAT/XAT/GMAT score is going to be considered, for final merit list selection post the GEPI process CAT/XAT/GMAT weightage is 20%

04:48 PM

Ma'am what would be your overall strategy to acquire a seat at mica pgdm-c 2018-20. Also, what do they see in a candidate during the ge as well as pi and how can we maximize our chances to get selected.

04:50 PM

P.s sorry for asking too many questions :P but I really really want to be their :D

04:51 PM

There*

04:53 PM

I found MICA's quantitative aptitude and verbal sections to be decently doable. But GK, Convergent and Divergent questions section can be quite tricky. The writing section can also determine if you would be successful or no. I would suggest you to practise writing. For GE you should be able to do quick thinking on your feet.

04:53 PM

Hello...

04:57 PM

Hello Ashish

04:57 PM

Good Evening Ma'am

04:57 PM

Good Evening

04:57 PM

I'm a CA Final student, could you guide me on the weightage of 10/12/undergrad in selections?

04:58 PM

MICA doesn't have any weightage for 10/12 marks in their selection process

04:59 PM

Not even in shortlisting?

04:59 PM

Not even graduation ?

04:59 PM

No weightage for undergrad too

04:59 PM

Thats really great

04:59 PM

Yes it is

05:00 PM

Could you guide on the various stages of MICAT?

05:00 PM

https://www.mica.ac.in/postgraduate-programme/selection-process-and-timelines

05:00 PM

Ma'am what do they actually look for in a candidate in their PI

05:00 PM

Please refer to the above link for details about the various stages of the exam

05:00 PM

Which area one should give more focus upon? Quant/Logic/DILR?

05:01 PM

In my opinion any institute would look for a candidate who is genuinely interested in pursuing their course. If you are able to convince the panel of the same, you should be in.

05:02 PM

I have heard that micat doesn't have sectional cut off for cat/cat scores? I hope it is true?

05:03 PM

There's nothing mentioned about CAT sectional scores in their website. I am sorry but I don't know any more than what's mentioned in their official website

05:05 PM

Ma'am how was your tenure at mica ?

05:11 PM

What kind of expectations does the interview panel have in PI from a prospective candidate.

05:12 PM

That's the funny part, I got admission in MICA and TISS. I chose to study in TISS

05:12 PM

Fat girl

05:13 PM

Hello Sasi Priya

05:13 PM

Hello Raghav, the interview panel would expect the prospective candidates to be familiar with the course being offered, basics of marketing, and the opportunities that come with doing a masters in that course.

05:15 PM

Oh wow! :) I am studying for these two entrances only :)

05:15 PM

But confused, should I pursue marketing or HR

05:16 PM

Since you are from TISS, can you tell us how MICA is better than TISS

05:16 PM

That should be a personal call. The choice was quite hard for me, both are really good colleges and I had a decent interest in both the domains..

05:17 PM

Ma'am why did you choose tiss over mica ?

05:18 PM

Thanks.

05:19 PM

Comparing MICA and TISS would be like comparing apples and oranges. Both the colleges are best at the courses they offer

05:19 PM

Maam how was your interview experience at mica if you could elaborate a bit .

05:20 PM

Yes ma'am what did you get for ge and what were the questions like for your pi ?

05:21 PM

Hello Sasi Priya! Hope you're doing great!! Just a quick check, I'm not that great in QA, will this decrease my chances of cracking MICA?

05:23 PM

And I came to know from previous conversation in this chat window, you told that CAT score will be given weightage upto 50% . Is that mandatory to score well in CAT to get into MICA? One personal ask, may I know your CAT percentile (This would help me to get motivated) Thanks :)

05:25 PM

My interview in MICA was completely profile based. They asked me about my hobbies, gave me a situation based question. MICA interviews are known to be informal and very warm. But they are rigorous at the same time

05:28 PM

Siddharth the QA difficulty level is not that high, with sufficient practise you should be able to do well in QA. if QA is your weak area to compensate for it you will have to perform better in other sections

05:29 PM

Thank You! :)

05:30 PM

Siddharth, In 2016 when I wrote the exam CAT score didn't have a weightage, and this is the first year they have introduced the weightage hence I am not in a position to answer your question, sorry.

05:30 PM

I chose TISS over MICA due to a lot of personal reasons. I would peg both the colleges equally in terms of resources and opportunities. Both are great Institutes to be a part of

05:32 PM

How did you prepare for GK? how to start preparing for GK from now?

05:32 PM

Thanks
