Top 3 IIMs see rise in gender parity

Efforts in the pre-interview screening and increased weightage in shortlisting has resulted in the top three Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) posting a better gender and discipline diversity this year over the past few years. For instance, at 31 per cent, IIM Calcutta has posted its highest share of female candidates among its 462 strong batch. As against 16.5 per cent in the previous batch of 2016-18, IIM-C saw share of female candidates rise to 31 per cent or 145 students in 2017-19 batch, its highest ever.IIM Bangalore too which saw a rise in its female students ratio to 28 per cent in 2016-18 batch, maintained it this year as well for its 405 strong 2017-19 batch.Even on the discipline front, the top three IIMs have seen the same rise in diversity. While IIM Ahmedabad (IIM-A) is yet to release its latest batch profile, last year the institute had seen share of non-engineers in its 2016-18 batch grow to 20 per cent, the highest in the past five years, as well as 21 per cent ..
