Which MICA Ranking Is the Most Reliable?
NIRF is the one run by the Government of India, and it publishes its scores every year. That is why the MICA national ranking here rests on NIRF. MICA shows no magazine ranking on its own pages, so there is no second MICA ranking to quote.

Teaching, Learning and Resources covers faculty, classes and facilities. Research and Professional Practice covers papers and consulting work.

MICA QS Ranking
MICA shows no QS ranking, so MICA ranking in the world is not listed. MICA's pages carry no QS World University or QS MBA rank. MICA lists a place in the QS top 500 only as a future goal, and a goal is not a ranking.
Does MICA Have a QS or a Global MBA Ranking?
No. MICA shows no rank from QS or Times Higher Education on its site. For a verified MICA ranking, use NIRF Management 2025, which is 33rd. The MICA ranking in the world is therefore not available.
MICA Financial Times Ranking
MICA shows no Financial Times ranking, so NIRF is the main MICA ranking in India.
No Global MBA Rank Is Listed
MICA shows no Financial Times, QS or Times Higher Education rank. A rank quoted on a coaching or news page without a list name and year is not an official MICA ranking.
What Accreditations Does MICA Hold?
MICA holds approvals that show on its site. The table gives each one with its status, as MICA shows it.
| Body | Status | Valid up to |
|---|---|---|
| NBA, PGDM | Accredited, academic years 2024-25 to 2026-27 | 30 June 2027 |
| NBA, PGDM-C | Letter dated 1 March 2023 | 30 June 2025 |
| AIU, PGDM | Equivalent to MBA | 30 June 2027 |
| AACSB | Member since 2021 | 30 June 2027 |
MICA has not published a NAAC grade. AACSB is a membership and not an accreditation. MICA sent its first self-evaluation report to AACSB in November 2025 as a step towards accreditation.
MICA has also not shown a newer NBA letter for the PGDM-C, so ask the admissions office for its current status.
MICA Course-Wise Ranking
MICA course-wise ranking is a single one: NIRF ranks MICA under Management. MICA has no separate NIRF rank for the PGDM-C, PGDM, PGCM or FPM. So the MICA ranking for the course you plan to join is the institute rank of 33rd.
