IIM Raipur creates history, admits more girls than boys

NEW DELHI: At a time when management institutes across the world are
trying to bring gender parity in male-dominated classrooms of business
education, a young Indian Institute of Management (IIM) has made history
by admitting more girls than boys this year.
In the cohort of 2022, IIM Raipur has 205 girls compared to 125 boys -
thus overturning the gender equation on campus that had admitted 146
boys and 120 girls last year. Now, the institute has 20% more girls than
boys in the flagship postgraduate programme in management.
Meanwhile, IIM Kozhikode, which for one year in 2019 set aside 60
supernumerary seats for women, has seen the share of women candidates
admitted in 2022 at 46.7%.

Apart from Raipur and Kozhikode, while many IIMs have crossed the mark of having 30% women this year (see table below),
others such as IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta are slowly inching closer to that. A 2021 application trend survey by GMAC
revealed that more women than men had applied to join B-schools around the world. And that is reflective in the incoming batch
of B-school freshers in India too.

IIM Raipur is an example where this trend played out imposingly. The institute's admission process was gender-blind: Neither did
it alter its selection process nor the interview panel. No additional marks were doled out to women candidates. "Our BoG (board
of governors) chairperson is a woman. Inside the campus, there is a fair amount of change we have brought about that is gender
neutral. We have sent out a lot of signals of gender neutrality, directly and indirectly. Raipur is also considered to be a safe
location. Some of the women candidates abandoned better institutes and joined Raipur," said the 12-year-young institute's
director Ramkumar Kakani.
IIM Kozhikode stands alongside Harvard Business School and Oxford Said as one of the most balanced MBA programmes in the
world. Diversity sits at its core with strong women power in its board of governors and among faculty. "Long ago, we saw the
gender ratio of the country changing. We will soon have more women than men in our country and that demographic feature of
the nation is reflected on our campus. When we were making a decision about incorporating women in our campus, we were
making this decision based on the changing nature of our demography, on the way corporates were thinking. It is not about
numbers, it is not just a headcount we are talking about; it is about a fundamental shift in perception," said IIMK director
Debashis Chatterjee. "The more diversity the better off a school is." Chatterjee was quick to add that the first step to diversity is
"always uneasy".
"You are taking a risk; you do not know how it will play out. Subsequently, you will see the innovation that will come as a direct
result of the diversity in the composition of students which leads to a rich confluence of ideas.
