In nearly all science course at university, there are significantly more male students than female students. What are the reason for this? What can be done to balance out the number?

It has been observed that, at university level, especially in

a science field

the science field

, the number of male students is more in comparison to female.

However

, the probable reason for it is, they might be less interested to learn

science

subjects as they are slightly complex subjects,

although

this

difference can be solved by promoting tech subjects and their career prospective and by giving compensation to female students in fees. At university level, especially in streams like engineering, technology, programming, it has been found that the ratio of female candidates was drastically less in comparison to male students.

For instance

, when I was in university in the civil engineering department, the number of girl students was only 7 as compared to the class strength of 62. The reason for

this

could be the interest to learn and study

science

is quite less and it has been generally been observed that they are more interested towards design, arts subjects.

Therefore

, we can say that,

science

stream is not selected by female students.

However

, every problem has a solution and by taking certain measures, we can change

this

particular situation.

For example

, educational bodies can promote

science

stream on their website and many media platforms, other than that, they can make some celebrity like the CEO of Pepsi company Indira Noori as brand ambassador to promote technological subjects. These will throw light on the future prospective of the

science

as a career and it will attract more female students in educational institutions for

science

subject and on top of that if government will give waiver in the tuition fees will encourage more number of students and we will be able to create balance between the male and female students. To conclude, there is no objection that female students participate in field

science

is less due to complexity and less interest, of students, but they can be encouraged by giving them fee waiver and publicising the benefits of

science

for their career prospective.
