Abstract

The access and involvement of female students in higher education in India during and after the economic liberalisation phase are the main topics of this essay. After gaining independence in 1947, women progressively began to have access to higher education. Because higher education was heavily subsidised and totally sponsored by the state, it was made possible. However, their involvement was marked by a concentration in general education courses that were feminine, non-professional, and non-market. Their access to higher education was also hampered by sociocultural and economic considerations. Globalization-related demands for reform arose as a result of the higher education system's inability to keep up with the growing social demand for professional education. The self-funded private institutions filled this need for topics that have traditionally been considered to be masculine fields.
