Can I take MICAT without a CAT/XAT/GMAT score?

No. A valid score in CAT, XAT, or GMAT is a compulsory prerequisite alongside MICAT -- MICAT alone does not make a candidate eligible for MICA's PGDM/PGDM-C selection process.

How many MICAT phases were there in 2026?

Three -- an additional Phase 3 (March 5, 2026) was added beyond the usual two-phase (December/February) cycle.
