My theories:
1. Jindal's dominant demographic is the elite wealthy class pan-India, while the dominant NLU demographic nowadays is the North Indian lower middle-class from smaller towns. The gender ratio of the former is inherently better than the latter. Thus, out of 100 LSAT test takers 50 will be girls but out of 100 CLAT test takers only 30 will be girls.
2. The format of LSAT is better suited for girls: no maths, emphasis on English. You don't have many girls at IITs for this reasonL: girls are better in languages than maths.
R u for real ?
Long term, yes women leave because of family obligations and not because of intellectual capacity. More and more women now are staying in law firms longer though.
Women have poor career trajectories and career success en masse. They are poor a investment in general. The 'why' doesn't matter.
Other times it's their choice.
But there are several women who are quite successful and definitely not wasting time on some anonymous platform.
Stop generalizing it for all women when some make the choice or are coerced. It's a fallacy. You cannot take some incidents and make it " in general".
How about I say that some male firm partners are engaging in sexual harassment and bringing bad name, so males are a bad investment?
LSAT is not competitive and anyone who applies to Jindal gets in. So rich folk, who are generally less stuck in the "women belong in the kitchen" gender roles, would send their sons and daughters to study here and make the ratio more or less even.
HNLU has 30% of its seats horizontally reserved for women, and this year alone, the strength is close to 60% of the batch strength.
Even NLIU and NLUJAA have a strong history of good gender ratios.
Listen to me, don't look at a statistic and blindly make general conclusions from them, if you ever attended coaching for clat ud know that's a fallacy. It's like saying there are few deers in the lions den, so deers don't have the physical strength to enter an enclosure.
There are social circumstances behind every statistic and you must apply them while reading these, and not jump on the bandwagon to make a controversial statement.
