In its 2016 post-graduate batch, 21.21% of students at IIM-Ahmedabad were women. In its 2014 batch, women accounted for only 23.3% of the student population at IIM Bangalore; in the 2013 batch, that figure was 23% at IIM Calcutta. The aim, says Janat Shah, director of IIM-Udaipur, is for at least a third of the students to be women. At the Xaviers School of Management (XLRI) in Jharkhand, meanwhile, 75% of the students are women. Another social factor that results in fewer women in IIMs is that the number of women pursuing higher education is still very low, Rameshan adds.
