Overview
About MICA (Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad)
MICA is a management college in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, established in 1995. MICA is privately managed and self-financing. It is affiliated to MICA. MICA offers 5 programmes at postgraduate level. They are PGDM (Communications) / PGDM-C, Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM), Fellow Programme in Management (Fpm), Post Graduate Certificate in Management in Advertising and Marketing Communication (Pgcm-Amc) and Post Graduate Certificate in Management in Digital Media and Marketing Communications (Pgcm-Dmmc). The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 248 seats. Official 2026 admissions material identifies AICTE-recognized PGDM-C and PGDM programmes for the 2026-28 batch and states that selection uses MICAT plus CAT/XAT/GMAT. The supplied target year is 2026-27, while the located programme material is for the 2026-28 intake. The annual report states more than 90 papers in 2024-25, the Centre for Development Management & Communication, an AIU-equivalent FPM, and PGDM NBA accreditation through June 2027. AICTE EoA for 2026-27 names PGDM, PGDM (Communications), three PGCM programmes and FPM with approved intakes. AIU equivalence to MBA is explicitly documented for the two-year full-time PGDM, valid 01-Jul-2024 to 30-Jun-2027 or while AICTE/NBA approval remains valid, whichever is earlier. The AICTE EoA states establishment in 1995, while MICA's About page states 1991; this is an unresolved source discrepancy. PGDM NBA accreditation is programme-level and valid through 30-Jun-2027. The previously supplied 2025-26 EoA is historical, not the target-session approval.
