MICAT 2027 will be conducted in two phases. MICAT I is scheduled for December 5, 2026, and MICAT II will be held on February 12, 2027.
Candidates can appear for both attempts, and the better score of the two MICAT attempts is considered.
MICAT preparation is different from preparing for a single aptitude-based entrance exam. The test includes Psychometric, Descriptive and Aptitude sections, with the Descriptive section covering essay and story writing.
A focused preparation plan can help candidates work on each section while also managing their preparation for CAT, XAT or GMAT.

How to Prepare for MICAT 2027?
MICAT 2027 exam date are near, so candidates should speed up their preparation.
They should focus on learning concepts, practising unlimited questions and revising topics. Here is a step-by-step guide to prepare well for the MICAT 2027 exam:
Understand the MICAT 2027 Exam
MICAT is MICA’s own entrance exam and is conducted twice a year, typically in December and February. Candidates take MICAT along with CAT, XAT or GMAT.
Understanding these sections is the first step before starting a preparation schedule. The three broad areas of MICAT preparation are:
| Section | What It Includes |
| Psychometric | Psychometric assessment |
| Descriptive | Essay and story writing |
| Aptitude | Aptitude-based questions |
Prepare for the MICAT Psychometric Section
The Psychometric section needs a different preparation approach compared with aptitude questions. Candidates should first understand the nature of this section and practise responding to questions consistently.
You can spend time becoming familiar with the type of assessment involved. This can be included in your regular MICAT practice rather than left for the final days.
Practise Essay and Story Writing
The Descriptive section includes essay and story writing, so writing practice should have a fixed place in the MICAT preparation schedule.
Set aside regular time to write essays and stories. The aim should be to express ideas clearly and complete the response within the available time. Practising repeatedly can also make it easier to organise thoughts when writing under exam conditions.
Candidates preparing for MICAT should not restrict their preparation to aptitude questions because the Descriptive section requires a separate type of practice.
Strengthen Your Aptitude Preparation
The Aptitude section can be prepared alongside your CAT, XAT or GMAT preparation. Since MICAT is taken along with these exams, candidates can use their existing aptitude preparation as a base and add MICAT-specific practice.
Create a regular practice routine and identify areas where you need more question-solving practice. As MICAT approaches, shift from only solving individual questions to attempting questions in a timed setting.
Take MICAT 2027 Mock Tests
Mock tests can help candidates understand how they perform across the different areas of MICAT preparation. They also provide an opportunity to practise managing time while attempting a complete test.
MBA Karo offers MICAT 2027 Mock Tests with 6 tests, 8 hours of duration and 420 questions. The test series also includes 1 trial lesson.

Analyse Your Performance After Every Mock
Taking a mock test is only one part of preparation. Candidates should also review their performance after completing each test.
Check which questions or areas took more time and where your preparation needs improvement. For the Descriptive section, use practice to improve your ability to structure essays and stories. For Aptitude, identify the areas where more question-solving practice is required.
Regular analysis can make each subsequent mock more useful than simply taking tests without reviewing performance.
Plan Your Preparation for MICAT I and II
With two MICAT attempts available, candidates can divide their preparation into two stages. Before MICAT I on December 5, 2026, focus on getting familiar with the Psychometric, Descriptive and Aptitude sections and build a regular mock-test routine.
After the first attempt, candidates can use their experience to identify areas that need more attention before MICAT II on February 12, 2027. Since the better score from the two attempts is considered, the second attempt provides another opportunity to improve the overall MICAT performance.
