MICAT 2027: Who Can Apply?

MICAT admission isn't a standalone process, it works alongside your CAT, XAT, or GMAT score. Based on recent years' eligibility criteria:

• Candidates must hold a valid CAT, XAT, or GMAT score from the eligible testing cycle specified by MICA.
• A bachelor's degree (or equivalent qualification) in any discipline, recognised by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU), is required.
• Candidates in their final year of a bachelor's degree can also apply, subject to completing the degree before joining.

MICAT is a computer-based test conducted across roughly 48 cities nationwide, structured into three sections:

Section	Focus Area
Section A	Psychometric Test
Section B	Descriptive Test
Section C	Divergent & Convergent Thinking, Verbal Ability, Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation, General Awareness

What Happens After MICAT? The Full MICA Selection Process

Clearing MICAT alone doesn't secure you a seat. MICA's admission process typically combines several inputs into a composite score:

1. CAT/XAT/GMAT score — the first filter
2. MICAT performance — assessed once your CAT/XAT/GMAT clears the cut-off
3. Group Exercise (GE) and Personal Interview (PI) — conducted for candidates shortlisted after MICAT, in place of the group discussion format used by most other B-schools
