II. Mandatory Verification Protocol

The admit card is the most important document for the exam day. Candidates must check every detail against their original application form.

• How to Download: Candidates must log in to the official MICA website, mica.ac.in, using their MICAT User ID and Password. The admit card will be available under the 'Download Admit Card' link.

III. Final Preparation Strategy

With just ten days remaining until the Phase 1 exam, aspirants should fine-tune their preparation, especially for the unique sections of MICAT.

• Psychometric Test (PT): This section is mandatory to clear for eligibility. Candidates should practice rapid, truthful responses, as sincerity is key here.
• Creative Writing (CW): This is a high-weightage section. Aspirants must practice structured, creative, and coherent essay writing within a strict time limit, typically on abstract or general topics.
• Aptitude Sections: Review the three aptitude sections (Verbal Ability, Quantitative Ability, and General Awareness) and focus on time management across the entire 2-hour paper.
• Best Score Policy: Candidates who are dissatisfied with their Phase 1 score will have a second chance in Phase 2 on January 25, 2026. MICA will consider the better score of the two attempts for the final shortlisting process.

Candidates must prioritize downloading and verifying their MICAT 2026 Phase-1 Admit Card immediately and utilize the remaining days for targeted, high-intensity revision for the December 15 examination.
