Towards this goal, the institute has set a target of 25% representation of girls among students admitted to the 4-year B.Tech program through the JEE mode of admission for 2020-2021.
Several measures are being taken to facilitate this which includes the introduction of scholarships, fellowships, and a partial waiver of tuition for girl students; partial/full waiver of application fee and establishment of a diversity pool of seats for the JEE mode of admission.
