Among the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) for which data is available, NIT Warangal consistently reported the highest girl ratio in both the 2021-22 and 2016-17 academic years.
Understanding Women's Representation in NITs
The presence of women in engineering colleges, particularly in prestigious institutions like NITs, is a key indicator of gender diversity in technical education. While efforts are ongoing to encourage more female students to pursue engineering, the statistics show varying ratios across different NITs.
Girl Ratios Across Top NITs
The data on women's representation (girl ratio) for specific NITs reveals the following percentages for the academic years 2021-22 and 2016-17:
| College Name | Women's Representation (2021-22) | Women's Representation (2016-17) |
|---|---|---|
| NIT Warangal | 20.84% | 27.19% |
| NIT Trichy | 20.30% | 22.03% |
| NIT Surathkal | 19.32% | 20.84% |
| NIT Rourkela | 17.79% | 18.74% |
As evident from the table:
- NIT Warangal led with 20.84% in 2021-22.
- Historically, NIT Warangal also held the highest ratio at 27.19% in 2016-17.
It is worth noting that while NIT Warangal holds the highest ratio among the listed institutions, there has been a general decline in women's representation across these NITs from 2016-17 to 2021-22.
