A report titled ‘Women participation in campus hiring exams in India’ released by HirePro, an AI-powered recruitment automation firm also providing end-to-end campus recruitment solutions, reveals women’s participation in campus hiring exams increased from 34% in 2023 to 36% in 2024. The study analysed the women’s participation in the campus hiring assessments with a sample of 8 million assessments conducted between CY 2023 and CY 2024 from HirePro’s overall database. The report highlights key trends in campus hiring, and sector-wise participation of women candidates in campus hiring exams.
The analysis of women’s participation in campus exams across sectors from CY 2023 to CY 2024 highlights significant trends in gender diversity across industries. Overall, it reflects a positive shift, with several sectors making substantial progress in increasing female representation in campus hiring. The BFSI sector and Domestic Enterprises have emerged as the biggest contributors to this growth. GCCs-BFSI and India BFSI both saw a 6-percentage point increase, rising from 32% to 38%, indicating a strong focus on attracting and retaining female talent. Domestic Enterprises, which previously had the lowest participation, recorded the most significant jump, increasing from 19% to 27% (+8 percentage points). This suggests a growing commitment in these industries to fostering gender diversity, possibly through targeted hiring initiatives and inclusion programs.
