style=\"text-align: justify;\">For decades, female representation in IITs remained low, often falling below 10%. Several factors contributed to this imbalance, including societal norms, a lack of encouragement for girls in STEM fields, and the highly competitive nature of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE).<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Governments_Initiative\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Government&#8217;s Initiative<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To improve female enrolment, the Ministry of Education (formerly MHRD) introduced a supernumerary quota for women in IITs in 2018, ensuring that at least 20% of new admissions are female candidates.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Impact_on_Admission_Trends\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Impact on Admission Trends<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Increase_in_Female_Enrollment\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Increase in Female Enrollment<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since the introduction of gender-based reservations, IITs have witnessed a steady rise in female students.
