How are the placements for Post Graduate Diploma in Management [PGDM] (Communication) at MICA?

Placements of the college is quite decent, considering the job market and niche profiles that come on campus. It's not like a 'mecca of marketing', but a mix of various roles including Sales, Marketing, General Management, Product Management, Branding, Strategy, Consultancy etc. The placements are carried out by Placements Committee who work with utmost dedication and honestly. All top companies across sectors come on campus to recruit, for both Summer Internships and Final Placements. 100% Placements are guaranteed here, while the highest package goes upto 40LPA, median is 19LPA and average is 18LPA, approximately. The reports published online are true in nature and aren't inflated unlike other schools.

Students become eligible for summer placements from 1st terms and finals from 4th term. Multiple companies like ITC, HUL, Coca cola, Google have visited campus for placements and we have a 100% placements. The highest package offered is around 36lakhs. And the average is around 19 lakhs. The profiles are all around management and marketing related. My plans after getting my MBA are to work in companies in the marketing side and then join strategy and consulting

The placements are good with ROI being almost 1. Several companies visit for summer as well as finals. They do publish a placement report every year and all the details are given in that. Most of the roles offered are in the marketing department.

The college placements are certainly a drawback. Although some students have secured top packages with the highest at 52.8 lakhs, in 2020, in some of the top companies in India, the average stood at 13.9 lakhs which is really less compared to the B-Schools in its league. The low placements can be attributed to the high number of low-paying agencies hiring from the college. However, most top brands of the country open their competitions to MICA, which becomes a decent way for its students to achieve good placements. Overall the college always receives 100% placements, barring a few students who opt out of the process. This is true for both summer and final placements. The number of PPO and PPI holders at MICA also stood at 25% which is a very encouraging number.

Campus placements were well-conducted and timely, considering the pandemic this last year as well. For my summer placements in 2019, the process started in September and ended in early October, where I was placed at PUMA India Ltd. For the final placements as mentioned earlier, i was placed at Collegedunia.com. 100% of students have received placements and companies ranged from HUL to here. The highest salary was about 32L, average Salary is still unknown. My plans after placements are to do extremely well at my new job and hopefully being at collegedunia for a long time and being an integral part of its success going ahead.
