Goal 5: Gender Equality

Tracking Access Measures

As part of our efforts to promote gender inclusivity, we have established a systematic approach to measure and track women's application and acceptance rates. This underscores our unwavering commitment to fostering diversity and gender equality across all our academic programs. This method provides valuable insights for institutions to assess their progress in creating an inclusive and diverse learning environment.

2. MAHE Admission Tracking Method

The Director of Admission has a policy and procedure for tracking admissions using SLCM (Student Life Cycle Management Software), which gives us an edge over the number of applications and helps us keep track of the ratio.

To track women’s applications, MAHE has the following method:

1. SLCM – It collects every student’s data (Student Lifecycle Management).

2. Real-time data will be analysed and monitored using the software above.

3. In an effort to enhance educational opportunities for women, we have developed strategies such as providing financial support, scholarships, and mentorship focusing women students.

4. Before the next academic year, strategies are developed based on 360-degree feedback from students, staff, faculty, and parents as part of the curriculum convention.
