By the name of engineering, it appears to them as Guys who are working in the field in sun. Due to same reason, even when they go private colleges, they try to opt for CS or IT or such branches which seem lucrative.<br /><br />It is not so much these days that parents are not willing to spend on their daughters, they do spend on their MBAs and CAs which is more expensive than engineering. Also the ratio in topmost business colleges like IIMs is also better than IITs. So I feel that lack of awareness about engineering is one of the reason which is responsible for low gender ratio in IITs.<br /><br />VishalVishuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06577103977810182089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-67979920203378016422009-10-14T17:44:39.979+05:302009-10-14T17:44:39.979+05:30If they do that, the problem of gender balance wil...If they do that, the problem of gender balance will largely go away.
