  "summary": "In a record-breaking year, over 10,000 women cleared the JEE-Advanced in 2026, marking a significant milestone in women's success in engineering entrance exams. Despite a lower share of IIT seat allotments, increasing from 20.15% to 20.22%, women's success rate in qualifying for the exam rose to 23.4%, compared to 21.7% in the previous year. Among the top 100 rankers, 97 were admitted to just three IITs - Bombay, Delhi, and Madras, with Bombay alone taking 68 seats. The report also highlights that women accounted for 23% of registrations but only 17.8% of qualifiers in the JEE-Advanced, indicating that their improved success rate has yet to close the gap with male candidates.",
