When Tejaswini Saraf and Sushma Tewari became the first women to enter IIT campuses in the 1960s, they marked the beginning of a long, uneven journey toward gender inclusion in India’s elite technical institutions. Decades later, women are no longer rare at IITs—but true balance remains elusive.
While targeted policies in the 2010s helped push female enrolment into double digits, recent admissions data show that women now make up only about one in five undergraduate students, a figure that has barely shifted in recent years. Persistent challenges such as unequal access to JEE preparation, social expectations around education choices, and the lack of senior female role models continue to shape outcomes.
As India’s broader higher education system sees rising female participation, the IITs face the challenge of ensuring that early gains translate into lasting, meaningful representation.
