The verdict

Worth considering

MICA’s FPM in Communication is a tight-knit, 10-seat research programme at India’s top communication school, with a total fee of just ₹4 lakh — rare value for a 4-year research degree. But the 40% data confidence, missing placement stats, and thin eligibility details mean you need to verify admission requirements, scholarships, and hostel norms directly with MICA before applying.
