5.3.2: Women’s Application and Entry Policy
Teerthanker Mahaveer University (TMU), Moradabad, upholds its commitment to SDG 5: Gender Equality by fostering equitable access to higher education through a well-structured Women’s Application and Entry Policy. Under Key Indicator 5.3.2, TMU has institutionalized mechanisms that promote gender balance during admissions, ensuring that women from diverse socio-economic backgrounds have equal opportunities to pursue quality education across all programs.
The University’s admission framework is guided by the principle of “Access without Barriers.” TMU implements inclusive admission criteria, reservation as per statutory norms, and targeted outreach drives to encourage women’s participation in disciplines traditionally underrepresented by females, such as engineering, law, and technology. Dedicated helpdesks and counselling units assist women applicants during the admission process, ensuring a smooth transition from application to enrolment.
To attract and retain women learners, the University’s digital admission platform ensures transparency, while the Women Empowerment Cell (WEC) monitors women’s issues and does the needful to ensure compliance of the same.
Outreach initiatives, including school-level awareness campaigns and collaborations with NGOs, have significantly improved female participation in higher education. Over the past five years, TMU has witnessed increase in female applications and a steady improvement in enrolment conversion rates. Notably, professional programs in health sciences, paramedical, and management have recorded gender parity in admissions.
