Diversity

IIITH believes that diversity has a positive impact on education, leading to better learning outcomes. This admissions season, we are working towards achieving greater gender diversity among our student body. To this end, we have a special pool for the JEE mode of admission.

Gender Diversity Pool 2024

IIITH considers better gender representation essential to better engineering.

We invite applications to our BTech programs (CSE and ECE) from young women who are passionate about their future and interested in an interdisciplinary education that equips them for a variety of careers. IIITH is focussed towards enrolling atleast 25% women students through the JEE mode.

The JEE Gender Diversity pool represents our mission to include women and their worldviews in engineering. At IIITH, we take pride in creating world-class engineers with successful careers in industry, academics, and the civil services. We hope to see more women among them.
