Number of Girls cracking IIT JEE doubled, no application fee for girls worked ?

Female to male ratio in cracking IIT JEE has been traditionally very low, but the situation definitely seems to be improving. Of the 1,68,568 girls who have registered for IIT JEE this year, reportedly 2,886 girls cracked the exam got rank in the general category list while a total of 1,902 girls have been shortlisted for counselling.

The number of girls IIT JEE cracking this time is almost double compared to last year, IIT JEE 2011 had 1,08,653 girl candidate registrations , with 1,443 of them cracking the examination.Reportedly Piya Inala, who hails from Andhra Pradesh has scored an all India rank 21 and is the girl’s topper in IIT JEE 2012, while two other girls scored an AIR below 100

This year in a strange move to bring in more girls to IITs, IIT JEE entrance board has waived application fee for girls , though the causal relationship doesn’t make much sense, it definitely seems to have worked.
