Post Graduate Certificate Programme in Crafting Creative Communications (CCC)

Admissions Open for 23rd batch of CCC

Crafting Creative Communications

This six-month programme leads to a certificate in Crafting Creative Communications with specialisation in Crafting Copywriting or Art Direction, depending on the module chosen by the student. The main objective of this programme is to develop students into high caliber professionals for creative careers in Marketing Communications.

The programme specifically attempts the following:

To equip participants with conceptual, behavioural and technical skills

To offer hands-on experience to become effective communication professionals

To impart a sense of values that encompasses not only professional work ethics but also a commitment to and passion for creative communication

To discipline creative instincts and to encourage the use of imagination in diverse fields

To work towards meeting the objectives stated in the brief and deliver within the deadline

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for participants who are intellectually curious and imaginative, have diverse interests and a sense of humour. A flair for writing and the ability to visualise will be seen as a major advantage. They should be knowledgeable about advertising, possess lateral thinking prowess, and above all show strength of character.

With every new batch of Crafting Creative Communications (CCC) at MICA, we hand-pick a bunch of boat-rockers, mavericks, wranglers and disrupters-of-the-status-quo, and put them through a creative commando boot camp. Then we release them upon an unsuspecting world as copywriters, art directors and TV commercial makers.

Admissions Criteria

This course does not require participants to have passed CAT (Common Admission Test). However, a Bachelor's degree or an equivalent qualification in any discipline recognised by the Association of Indian Universities is requisite. For participants in the Crafting Creative Art Direction (Module B), an equivalent diploma/degree in Fine Arts or Applied Arts is mandatory.

2 Year Post Graduate Diploma in Management- Communications (PGDM-C)

Admissions Open for PGDM-C 2013-2015

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.

Admissions Criteria

 Admission to the PGDM(C) programme requires a Bachelor's degree (in keeping with the 10 + 2 + 3 system) with minimum 50% marks, or an equivalent qualification in any discipline recognised by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU). Candidates appearing for final examinations towards a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) are also eligible to apply.

Candidates who demonstrate aptitude for expressing, assessing, or conceiving ideas that move people to action and achieve business results tend to stand a better chance of being shortlisted.

Candidates should apply to MICA through scores of either CAT 2012 / XAT 2013 / GMAT (December 31, 2007or later)
