MICA Ahmedabad has recorded an increase in the percentage of females enrolled for all three programmes in the fresh batch.

Fifty-three per cent of the incoming batch across all three programmes — flagship PGDM-C and PGDM, Crafting Creative Communications (CCC), and Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) — are females, whereas 47 per cent are male students.

Of the 235 students across all three programmes, 125 are female students, while 110 are male students.

“MICA is recognised as the most gender-diverse B-school in the country with a gender ratio of 50: 50 at most times. We take pride in our uniquely designed entrance test, MICAT, which tests analytical and creative skills, attracting more female students without any preference or quota,” said Dr. Shailendra Raj Mehta, President and Director of MICA.

The new batch has students from pharma, architecture, design, law, finance and dentistry, apart from arts, commerce, technology and sciences.

The current PGP batch of 204 students has 101 male students and 103 female students. About 80 per cent of the PGP class comprises students in the 21-25 years age group. Of 204 students, as many as 52 per cent come with prior work experience.

For CCC programme, 79 per cent of the batch are girls. Around 70 per cent of the total batch comes with prior work experience. The FPM batch has three female scholars out of a total of 7 scholars.
