India’s top B-school in 2022, IIM Calcutta has witnessed a hike in the share of female students to about 25% from 5%, as per Uttam Kumar Sarkar, Director of IIMC
The diversity in MBA classrooms goes beyond gender. An increasing number of students from non-engineering backgrounds are now enrolling in B-schools
In the top 25 B-schools, the share of students from non-engineering backgrounds has surged to 36% in 2020-21, a sharp rise from 16% eight years ago
The share of non- engineering students is growing, thus bringing more balance in ratio of non-engineers to engineers in MBA classrooms
