Top institutes will now be graded on gender equality

The ministry of science and technology will grade higher educational institutions and research institutes that it funds on gender equality from this academic year. While 20 institutes, including some Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and National Institutes of Technology (NITs), have signed up to be part of the pilot, the grading system will eventually be rolled out across all institutes — over 90 — funded partially or fully by the ministry.
