IIT Bombay vs IIT Madras: Which institute is home to higher number of female students?

India’s IITs have long struggled with low female enrolment, prompting the introduction of supernumerary seats from 2018 to address the widening gender gap. As gender diversity becomes a key priority, fresh data reveals that IIT Bombay hosts 1,677 women compared to IIT Madras’s 1,587. The comparison underscores both progress and the persistent structural barriers limiting girls’ entry into engineering.
