Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MICAT 2027 exam pattern?
MICAT has 5 timed sections: Psychometrics (30Q, 25 min — unscored), Verbal Ability (25Q, 25 min), DI & Analytical Reasoning (25Q, 35 min), General Awareness (25Q, 25 min), and Divergent Thinking & Creativity (30Q, 30 min) + Essay/Descriptive (25 min).
What is the Divergent Thinking section in MICAT?
Divergent Thinking & Creativity is unique to MICAT. It tests visual creativity — naming objects from abstract images, story from visual cues, word association chains, and filling in blanks in creative sentence. This section tests whether candidates have the creative mindset needed for strategic communication careers.
What score is needed in CAT/XAT for MICAT shortlisting?
MICA requires a minimum CAT percentile of 75 (general) or XAT/GMAT equivalent for MICAT eligibility. However, MICAT score also matters. MICA shortlists candidates for GE/PI based on composite MICAT + CAT/XAT score. Strong MICAT can compensate for moderate CAT score.
What MICAT score is needed for MICA PGDM-C admission?
MICA admits approximately 200–220 students per year for its PGDM-C programme. MICAT shortlisted candidates appear for Group Exercise (GE) + Personal Interview (PI). The combined score (MICAT + GE + PI + academic record) determines final selection.
