MICA's Flagship
PGDM-C
MICA's
Post-graduate Programme Diploma in Management (Communications) has made a
remarkable pace for itself since its inception in 1994. The active PGDM
(Communications) has evolved into one of the premier programmes in the country,
endorsed by 100 per cent campus placements with the best corporate houses in
India and in recent times, abroad. MICA's stringent selection norms coupled
with the rigour of the curriculum ensure a highly committed, creatively and
innovatively anchored, professionally oriented communications manager skilled
in the practice, development and management of communications for industry and
society. This programme is approved by the All India Council for Technical
Education (AICTE) and Association of Indian University (AIU) which equates it
with an MBA degree.
Who are we
looking for?
Stringent
quality control of our output begins with tight quality control of our input
which is why it is more than a commonplace matter to get a place at MICA. In
addition to putting the aspiring communications professionals who come to MICA
through a tough academic routine, they are also encouraged and advised to
practice the art of self-development.
Over
the years, the MICAn profile has changed. There has been a significant increase
in number of students from engineering and management education backgrounds.
The number of people with diverse work experience (ranging from the software
industry to financial portfolio management) has meant more productive class
discussions. Students at MICA come from some of India's best-known educational
institutions. Prestigious colleges like St. Stephens, Lady Sriram College,
Delhi College of Engineering (NSIT), Sriram College of Commerce (SRCC)among
others are represented in MICA.
A
quick look at our institute's recruitment track record and the profile of our
current students should be sufficient to justify our pride in our young men and
women.
