Storming yet another male bastion, girl students of Telangana have taken an unprecedented 73% of the total post graduate seats in all the Telangana State universities this year.
This number is across the social groups and is predominantly among the Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes. Their dominance is clear in the science subjects while in Humanities they are either equal or have conceded to the boys in a few subjects that are known to be ‘Food courses’ on the campuses.
Statistics reveal that out of the 22,599 students admitted this year 16,496 were girl students, and this is nearly 10% more compared to previous years. The trend seems to have started from the degree courses itself. This year in the degree courses the admission of girl students crossed 61% indicating how they have captured the undergraduate courses as well.
