STUDENT ACCESS MEASURES
TUIT implements measures to track various demographic metrics, including gender-related statistics, as part of its commitment to inclusivity and equality. Tracking metrics, such as the application and entry rates of female applicants, is crucial for understanding gender representation within the student body and is often aligned with government education policies aimed at promoting gender equality in Uzbekistan’s higher education sector.
While specific statistics on women’s application and acceptance rates at TUIT may not be publicly detailed on the university’s website, such tracking typically helps universities, including TUIT, to identify gender-related trends, analyze the impact of initiatives aimed at increasing female participation in STEM, and guide future outreach efforts (https://lex.uz/uz/docs/-6056269#).
TUIT may also share aggregated gender-related admission data in annual reports or as part of national educational studies.
TUIT typically have policies or plans to promote gender diversity and address issues like female application, acceptance, and participation rates. Although a specific "Access and Participation Plan" might not be explicitly labeled, TUIT’s inclusion initiatives align with broader national policies for enhancing women’s participation, especially in STEM fields.
For instance, Uzbekistan’s government and educational institutions have emphasized increasing female representation in traditionally male-dominated fields such as IT. As part of this, TUIT has reportedly established various supportive programs aimed at improving women’s access to technology education, providing mentoring and targeted scholarships, and raising awareness about career opportunities for women in IT. These measures contribute to fostering a more balanced and inclusive academic environment, helping to support higher application and participation rates for women in technical disciplines.
Further details on TUIT’s specific gender inclusion initiatives could be found in annual reports or official policy documents released by the university or the Ministry of Higher Education in Uzbekistan (https://lex.uz/docs/4866624).
TUIT actively promotes women’s roles in STEM fields through several impactful initiatives:
INNOWOMENWEEK: TUIT hosts an annual "INNOWOMENWEEK," focusing on the contributions of women in science and innovation. A significant event during this week is a scientific conference titled "The Role of Women in Science and Innovation," held under the slogan "Educated Women are Society’s Mirror." Discussions at the conference center around enhancing the technical and scientific skills of female engineers and programmers, as well as increasing their involvement in production and information and communication technology (ICT) sectors.

These initiatives reflect TUIT’s commitment to fostering an inclusive academic environment and enhancing the role of women in science, technology, and engineering.
TUIT encourages applications from women in subjects where they are underrepresented. The university actively promotes gender equality and inclusivity in all academic fields.
For instance, the results of the “Zakovat” tournament held among girls in Tashkent have been announced. Our TUIT Zakovat Club’s "Ever Girls" team, composed of club members, secured a place in the top three teams with the highest scores, earning them a spot in the national stage of the competition.
Moreover, on February 11th, in celebration of the “International Day of Women and Girls in Science”, the team at TUIT extends heartfelt congratulations to all women and girls involved in science, especially the talented female scholars actively contributing to the university’s academic community. This reflects our commitment to encouraging female participation and representation in the field of science and technology.
