However, Dr. Sita Nayak, executing Registrar in the Sanjay Gandhi Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS) has another story to tell. SGPGI has a total of 180, of whom there are only 30 women. Regretté Dr Nayak, “The average age is about 27 or 28 years. At this age, most women are waiting to get married, so very few opt for a super specialization. For example, immunology batch here has only 2 women under 21 students in total.
