2 mins readUpdated on Dec 22, 2022 02:52 IST

MICA – The School of Ideas, Ahmedabad is one of the specialised Management B-Schools in the APAC, situated at the intersection of Business, Marketing, Creativity, and Communication. The global and national partnerships enhance learning and networking with various immersions and real-time experiences like MI-IMPACT, Rural immersion, and international immersion. These immersion activities make the postgraduate courses offered at MICA to stand out as a globally benchmarked holistic, empathetic, and creative management program that will build competencies in digital transformation, marketing and experiential learning through a cutting edge and contemporary curriculum, innovative pedagogy, multidisciplinary research and learning outcomes relevant to emerging industry trends in technology, analytics, governance, innovation, entrepreneurship, and societal impact.

An Immersive Experience:

The MI IMPACT Immersion Course, launched in 2019, offers the students at MICA an opportunity to undertake live problem-solving projects (PSP) from organisations across various industries and geography. Every year MICA’s second-year PGP students proceed for rural immersion across rural parts of India in collaboration with Corporate Foundations, Government Institutions, and Social Sector Organizations.  The International Immersion program allows the students to learn from globally renowned Professors in an academically stimulating environment, which helps them prepare better for global opportunities. The immersion helps the students to understand the international business ecosystem and prepares them for the cultural and social sensitivities of the world’s economy.

MICA is not just another B-School; it is a gathering of unique individuals, each with a story and passion for expression. Its spirit lies in grasping contemporariness and addressing the needs of an ever-changing environment. The MICA brand assures the effective delivery of Strategic Marketing and Communication solutions to the industry, government, and community.

MICA students are academically gifted, creatively talented, and well-rounded young adults.  They are high-performing independent spirits who are rewarded for challenging conventions. MICAns have never failed to live up to this image with their undying zeal, passion, and dedication, showcasing the #MICAnEdge at every step. MICAns have not only represented but always added to the glory of MICA in numerous case competitions and business fests. 2022 has been an excellent year for MICA; students have conquered almost all prominent national-level competitions like TVS Credit E.P.I.C Season 4, Titan Elevate, Flipkart WIRED 6.0, ABFRL ShowStopper 2022, Dabur Verve Hackathon 2022, TATA Steel Steel-a-thon 2022, P&G CEO Challenge to name a few.

Along with specialised curriculum prowess, MICA focuses on sculpting its students into their best selves.
