The chart illustrates the gender distribution of students and the subjects they are studying at a major university in 2020.

Overall, the percentage of male students is slightly higher than that of female students at the university. A greater proportion of students who preferred engineering were male, while female students tended to choose business.

Firstly, 40% of male students opted for engineering, making it the most preferred subject among them, while education and “other” category were the least chosen, each at just 5%. Additionally, Arts and Humanities, Science, and Business accounted for 15%, 15%, and 20%, respectively.

In contrast, 25% of female students showed strong preference for business. Only 10% selected engineering, which is significantly lower than their male counterparts. Furthermore, Science, Education, and the “other” category shared an equal distribution of 15%.

In conclusion, males dominate in engineering, while females incline toward business. In the science category, the distribution is equal across genders.
