1. You definitely stand a chance in all the 3 institutes provided you perform well in CAT/XAT.

2. FMS and MDI donot attach very high weightage to acads like other colleges.

3. extra curriculars are good only if they are of national level or some additional certification.

ATB!!

@riya1163 : just focus on the respective written examinations, once you are through for GD/PI process you can secure plenty of guidance from fellow puys on how you can overcome and clinch a premier b school with medium academics. All the best :)

Hello Fellow Puys,

Are there any other good colleges which run a Communications Management course like MICA?? If yes, kindly list the suitable ones....!! I am a NIFT graduate with 3 yrs of work ex..
1773
@Akmbaspirant : Communication Management is a very niche course and MICA is the best in that field. Apart from that you can also apply to other well known institutes such as SIMC (Symbiosis Institute of Media & Communication), IIMC (Indian Institute of Mass Communication), AJ Kidwai Mass Communication Research Centre and Xavier Institute of Communication. Since you have a work experience of 3 years apart from being a NIFT graduate, it will be very nice if you aim for MICA and crack it. All the best 😃

try scoring as much as possible in all entrances

@xxx031188 :Though I have no authority to judge on how good Alliance University is, but I would like to highlight a few facts. Deciding to choose an MBA college is in itself a bigger challenge than securing the seat by fighting your way. You will do an MBA once in your lifetime and hence would like to do so in the best possible institute under the given circumstances. Kindly give least weightage to the fees component while choosing an institute. See if the institute has a well established brand name, how are its alumni faring, what is the perception of the prospective candidates about that institute, infrastructure, faculty, quality of placements etc.
Once you are sure of all these aspects then choose and I'm sure you will make a just and wise choice. All the best :)
