The given diagram illustrates attendance rates of students specified by their genders and compares the number of enrollments of distinct subjects in a university, in 2012.
Overall, what is the most striking when looking at the data is that the social sciences attracted the largest number of students, whereas agriculture received by far the fewest. It is also noteworthy that Agriculture is the only subject not to witness the gender imbalance while the opposite trend was true for remaining subjects.
Focusing first on social sciences and engineering, which showed some contradictions. Specifically, the number of female students registering the former stood at precisely 4000, which was approximately 1100 higher than the males. In terms of the latter, the female students was merely 1000 while there were over 2100 males, representing a ratio of about ½. Additionally, while the total admissions of engineering stood at nearly 3000, this was nearly tripled in social sciences, about 7000 students.
Turning to health, humanities as well as science and math subjects, while the first two disciplines recorded the same trend across surveyed data, the last one was reversed. It is recorded that the number of female students in both health and humanities subjects was around 1550 and this was approximately 800 for male applicants. In contrast, the male enrollment was double the females in STEM subjects, with about 1300 students recorded for the former and just 650 for the latter. However, the total applicants of the three were quite the same, around 2100 with the highest figure seen in humanities.
Concerning the last category, agriculture was the least attractive discipline with students, receiving just 200 enrollees from both genders.
