MICA Values And Strives For Adaptability And Unlearning

Interview Dr. Preeti Shroff Professor and Dean, MICA – The School of Ideas

MICA is one of the top ranked institutes in India when it comes to business studies. What qualities do you value the most while selecting the candidates?

MICA – The School of Ideas recognises intellectual abilities, emotional intelligence, management creativity, cultural diversity, professional experiences and the uniqueness of each candidate. We also invest in the incoming cohort to nurture a community of unique individuals and build on their strengths. The MICAT test assesses aptitude for analytical, critical and creative thinking to focus on learning at the convergence of the leftand right brains. The multiple intelligence approach to management and creativity education at MICA is rooted in knowledge and sensitivity towards different cultures, adaptability and openness.

MICA emphasises learning and unlearning for creative change management in a digitally enabled world as the most important traits, and we seek these qualities in our students apart from their academic achievements. To ensure that we admit the right cohort of committed students at MICA, the uniquely designed MICAT entrance test emphasises three dimensions – psychometric test, descriptive test and divergent and convergent thinking test. We strive to develop our students into creative managers, global citizens and digital industry leaders.
