Can students take the MICAT exam if their CAT/XAT/GMAT scores are lower?

The Psychometric Test in MICAT serves as a qualifier. There is no specific numerical qualifying score revealed, but candidates must pass this section to have the remaining sections of their exam evaluated.

MICAT scores are valid for one admission cycle only. Candidates seeking admission into the PGDM and PGDM-C batch of 2026-28 can only use their MICAT 2026 scores.

A good score in MICAT depends on the relative performance of all test takers. MICA does not declare a fixed cutoff; rather, approximately 1/10th of total candidates are shortlisted based on scaled MICAT scores.

In case of any errors in your MICAT scorecard, such as spelling mistakes in name or incorrect roll numbers, candidates must immediately contact the MICA admission desk to get the issue rectified.

Yes, MICA conducts the MICAT exam in two phases within a single admission cycle. You can appear for both phases, and the institute will consider your best score when preparing the shortlist.
