%X Based on the responses to four Semi-structured interview schedules and one check list of 400 post-graduate students in Vidyasagar University in West Bengal, this article investigates the influence of gender stereotyping on women¡¯s higher education. Several indicators are considered and investigated using non-parametric technique. Given the overall patriarchal structure of Indian society, the results indicate that higher education system is not sufficient itself for developing the right attitudes among today¡¯s young adults that needed to succeed in a democratic country-where human dignity is respected.
