ABOUT MICA AND ITS POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN MANAGEMENT (Comunications)

Started in 1991, Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad (MICA) is an autonomous non-profit management education institution. The programme is approved by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and recognized by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. MICA has set a precedent as the first residential academic institution in the country, and perhaps in the Asia-Pacific region, wholly dedicated to meeting the needs of the integrated marketing communications industry.

Communication is at the heart of MICA’s academic programmes since its inception. The millennium heralded forces of change at work in the market. The accelerated diffusion of information technology, the frenetic proliferation of media and new media options, the heightened and global competition, the established reality of fragmented markets, and the indispensability of technology redefined the ways in which markets and consumers interact. MICA made the transition from communications to communications management realizing that a response to the emerging market will be crucial component of industry leadership.

MICA complements the role that management education plays in modernizing and professionalizing communications-driven businesses. The MICAn’s expertise lies in understanding the relevance of the emerging avenues of communications to the industry and society today and in being equipped to deal with their myriad complexities. A MICAn redefines the traditional role of a manager to steer brands and organizations through the power of sharper consumer insight expressed through effective communications. Today, it is the alma mater of professionals who are serving in the brand communications management, marketing, marketing research, advertising and media sectors, and emerging communications-driven businesses such as broadcasting, retail and design communication, public relations, and event and entertainment management.

The institute’s reputation, carved over the past 17 years by a seasoned faculty and a global alumni network, attracts the most talented and ambitious young minds from India and abroad. The MICA brand assures the delivery of current, reliable and costeffective communications management skills.

The single, most important aspect that makes MICA stand apart from the other management schools in the country is the strength and design of its curriculum.

The courses are structured and taught with the intention of creating communications management specialists who are not only able to understand the multiple requirements of business, specifically of those organizations that are communications-driven in realizing their business strategy and effectiveness, but are also uniquely skilled to identify innovative consumer marketing insights. MICA has a continuous feedback system made up of two streams. Our alumni keep in touch with the current batch of students and appraise them of the challenges in the real world. Our visiting faculty, drawn from practicing professionals, cover every aspect of marketing communications. Together, they provide the balance to academic learning. MICA is thus able to constantly update its curricula with relevance to its students’ career needs.

MICA is contemporary. Freshness of spirit is characteristic of this institution. MICA believes in facilitating learning and sharing ideas and experience rather than merely teaching, and encourages experimentation and innovation. While encouraging each individual to develop one’s potential, MICA also helps students understand and imbibe the value of teamwork. The emphasis in the programme is to develop students skilled in integrated marketing communications. The programme also focuses on:
* Imparting a sense of value that encompass not only work ethics, but also a commitment to, and a passion for, marketing and communications as a science, especially in commercial organizations
* Develop the mental discipline to blend concepts and ideas with strategic planning and action creatively and innovatively.

Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Communications) PGDM(C) has set a remarkable pace for itself since its inception in 1994. Their success is reflected in the recognition we have received over the years. The active PGDM(C), with its 15-year legacy has evolved into one of the premier programmes in the country, endorsed by 100 per cent campus placements by corporate houses in India and in recent times, abroad.
