Inclusive Policies and Access Schemes

BMC’s commitment to gender equality is demonstrated through its comprehensive Access and Participation Plan and targeted women’s access schemes, which aim to provide women with greater opportunities in higher education. These initiatives are designed to reduce barriers to entry for female students, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds. Through a combination of scholarships, financial aid, and mentorship programs, BMC ensures that women have the necessary support to pursue their academic and professional aspirations.

A key aspect of these efforts is BMC’s mentoring schemes, which play a critical role in empowering female students. Over 75% of participants in these mentoring initiatives are women, reflecting the college’s focus on fostering strong, supportive relationships between female students and experienced mentors. These programs offer personalized guidance and encouragement, helping women navigate academic challenges, develop leadership skills, and build confidence in their abilities.

The mentoring schemes, alongside BMC's scholarships and financial aid, ensure that women receive the comprehensive support they need to thrive. By providing these resources, BMC is not only addressing gender disparities but also cultivating a generation of confident, capable female leaders who are well-prepared to succeed in their chosen fields and make meaningful contributions to society.

Encouraging Diverse Participation

BMC is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive academic community, and while its admission policies are designed to ensure fair access for all, the institution goes further by actively encouraging women to apply to fields where they have historically been underrepresented. This proactive approach is part of BMC’s broader mission to create an educational environment where all students, regardless of gender or background, can thrive.

To enrich the student experience, BMC offers a vibrant extracurricular ecosystem with over 50 student-run clubs, societies, and groups. These organizations cover a wide range of interests, from community service to cultural awareness, providing students with opportunities to engage, lead, and grow outside the classroom. Among these, the Women Empowerment Club stands out as a key initiative aimed at addressing gender inequality and fostering leadership among female students. The club's mission is to empower women by inspiring confidence, cultivating inner strength, and encouraging them to take on leadership roles. Through workshops, discussions, and community outreach, the Women Empowerment Club nurtures future female leaders who are passionate about making a positive impact on society.
