The MICAT 2027 cut-off is primarily determined on a section-wise basis, as MICA Ahmedabad does not release an overall fixed cut-off score. Instead, candidates are required to meet expected minimum score thresholds in specific sections of the aptitude test to advance through the admission stages.
MICA evaluates candidates based on expected minimum marks across the four sub-sections of Section C (Aptitude Test). Below are the expected sectional cut-off ranges:
8.5 to 12.0 marks
8.0 to 10.0 marks
6.5 to 7.5 marks
5.5 to 6.5 marks
Overall Section C Score: A cumulative total ranging between 22 and 27 marks is typically cited as a baseline requirement to receive a call for the Group Exercise and Personal Interview (GE-PI) rounds, depending on the overall difficulty of the exam paper.
Psychometric Test (Section A): This section acts as a mandatory absolute qualifier; it must be cleared successfully, though it does not carry a numerical score or cut-off.
National Entrance Exam Scores: In addition to clearing the MICAT sectional cut-offs, candidates must possess a valid score in CAT, XAT (typically 80th percentile and above), or GMAT.
Negative Marking: Section C incorporates a negative marking scheme where 0.25 marks are deducted for every incorrect response, which directly influences net score calculations.
Multi-Stage Evaluation: The admission process utilizes a comprehensive evaluation framework combining performance across the entrance tests, psychometric screening, descriptive writing evaluations, and subsequent GE-PI performance.
Q1. Does MICA announce an official fixed overall cut-off for MICAT?
Ans. No, MICAT does not declare a fixed overall cut-off score. Admissions shortlisting relies on sectional cut-offs for the Aptitude Test and successful clearance of the Psychometric Test.
Q2. Is there negative marking in MICAT?
Ans. Yes, a negative marking of 0.25 marks applies exclusively to incorrect answers in Section C (Aptitude Test).
Q3. What CAT, XAT, or GMAT score is expected for eligibility?
Ans. Candidates are required to submit a valid score from CAT, XAT (frequently 80th percentile and above), or GMAT to qualify for consideration alongside their MICAT score.
Q4. Can candidates appear in multiple phases of MICAT?
Ans. Yes, candidates are permitted to appear in both Phase 1 and Phase 2, with MICA automatically considering the higher of the two scores for the admission process
