For MICA's GE-PI process, two test-scores are always considered before they shortlist any candidate. After that, you should clear any of the following- CAT; XAT or GMAT. You must essentially also manage to crack the written exam of MICA itself - MICAT.

This might look and sound difficult and a rather intimidating task, that you have to go through two competitive level exams to get in. You would be able to keep track of the level of your knowledge via Logical Reasoning, Verbal Ability and Quantitative Aptitude. Therefore, you must understand that it is vital to chalk out a plan and a strategy. 

Interestingly, MICAT comprises two different sections which are - Psychometric and Descriptive. This isn't a part of your regular CAT/XAT/GMAT. What's unique isn't the fact that this particular section sets aside students from MICA and B-school graduates. 

Here's a brief overview of Psychometric and Descriptive sections -

• Descriptive - This section requires candidates to answer questions based on their story-telling abilities and check how well they manage to analyse and handle situations under sheer pressure and stress.
• Psychometric - A qualifier for the assessed test - this section is such that if you fail in answering even one question, know that your paper will not be considered and hence, would not be evaluated. Right or wrong aspects do not matter in this section but it takes away an impression of the way you function your mind which renders an impression about you too. 

Talking about B-school graduates is pretty straightforward. Once they are shortlisted, they would stick to GDs or else WATs as their second option. While MICA does this. It administers a group exercise checking the candidate's leadership, teamwork and creative side. And by the time you reach the PI, you would go through a number of different experiences.

The path to MICA is indeed difficult and intimidating at times, but if you have already made up your mind to reach there by staying persistent in your efforts, you would definitely be successful. Once you're there, your life will turn around for good.
