Women in STEM

In a conscious effort to promote gender equity within the institution and achieve a near equal male to female ratio in all programs offered by the institution, the speakers focused exclusively on encouraging women students to apply for STEM courses. They discussed in detail about the opportunities for women in core engineering courses such as Mechanical engineering, civil engineering, etc where traditionally there have been a significantly lesser number of female students.

Speakers then addressed the reservations and fears that parents have with regards to letting their daughters pursue on-campus degree programs. The safety and security features available on the campus, and various policies and redressal cells, based on UGC regulations, that are in place to ensure their safety was discussed. Special mentoring schemes that are in place to promote equal participation of women students were discussed in detail. They also highlighted how independent hostel living experience leads to holistic development which then helps them to face challenging situations in the workplace in the future.
