FAQs

How is the MICAT final merit list created?

Merit-based admission will be offered, and only then will consideration of the programme of choice be given. When a candidate is offered admission to the programme of his or her first priority based on the merit list, their name is automatically removed from the list of applicants for the programme of their second priority. If a candidate is offered admission to a programme that is his second priority, he will have two choices: accept the offer and agree to have their name taken off the waitlist for the programme that is his first priority, or reject the offer and keep their name on the waitlist for the programme that is his first priority. All candidates who appear for the GE and PI rounds are taken into account when creating the final merit list, and they must be recommended by the majority of the PI panelists.

Also, the median package stands at INR 17,10,000. The top sector where maximum MICA graduates were recruited is IT/ ITES. 

Can I get into MICA with a 70 percentile on the CAT?

If candidates get a good score in MICAT, a 70 to 75 percentile on the CAT will be accepted by MICA under some conditions, but there is no chance of admission if they obtain less than 70 percentile. However, since MICA also accepts XAT scores, candidates must try to score a good percentile like 75-80 on the XAT.

What is the minimum cutoff to qualify for MICAT 2025 merit list?

The minimum cutoff to qualify for the MICAT 2025 merit list is score of 3.5 out of 5 in the GE round and a 4 out of 5 in the PI round. MICA Ahmedabad takes into account the General Exercise (GE) and Personal Interview (PI) scores for preparing the MICAT merit list. 

What is the cutoff for MICAT 2025?

There is a sectional cutoff for MICAT 2025. Candidates are required to score a minimum of 8.5 to 12 marks out of 30 marks in the Divergent Convergent Thinking section, a minimum of 6.5 to 7.5 marks out of 25 marks in the Quant & DI section, a minimum of 8 to 10 marks out of 25 marks in the Verbal Ability section, and a minimum of 5.5 to 6.5 marks out of 25 marks in the General Knowledge section. 

How are candidates shortlisted for the MICAT final selection round?

What weightage is given to CAT/XAT marks during the calculation of MICA composite score?

Performance on the CAT, XAT, or GMAT is not taken into consideration when determining the composite score used for ranking. The CAT, XAT, and GMAT are required exams for admission at MICA. But among all MICAT applicants, those who obtain confirmed offers (formerly known as "spot offers") must rank in the top 10% of applicants based on their CAT/XAT/GMAT scores.

How much CAT percentile is required for MICA?

You must have an overall 80 percentile on the CAT/XAT/GMAT for MICA. However, the actual cutoff may go above 80 percentile. Your CAT, XAT, or GMAT score must rank in the top 10% of all applicants to MICAT in order to receive a spot offer. However, regardless of your CAT/XAT/GMAT Score, you can be selected for the other usual list that will be released later based on your GE/PI and MICAT performance.

What is a good score in MICAT 2025?

The definition of a "good" MICAT score for 2025 is a function of overall difficulty and test-taker performance. Traditionally, a raw score of 60-65 out of 100 was considered to be competitive enough for calls from MICA, though 70+ would have substantially improved your chances. Of course, MICAT alone will not do it; GE-PI performance is also pretty decisive in terms of final selection.

What are the components considered during the calculation of MICAT final composite score and what weightage is given to them?

The MICAT 2024 final composite score shall be created based on the following weightage:

  1. CAT/XAT/GMAT: 20%
  2. MICAT: 30%
  3. GE: 20%
  4. PI: 30%
