Historically, the presence of women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) remains mostly marginal. Despite the infrastructural and financial support availed from the government and non-governmental bodies, under-representation of women in the field of education has not changed over the years. Also, no information about the current status of women in STEM is available in the public domain. In this article, we address this lack of information by collecting data from eminent institutions throughout India. The under-representation of women in the science and technology community is depicted, primarily highlighting the male-dominated technology- driven Indian institutions. The probable causes for such inequality need to be analysed and addressed for remedial purposes.
