The decade of 60s didn't see many to follow the trend except in 1965 another Ms. Bharti Jivabhai Desai enroled for degree course. The number in 1970s began improving and accelerated pace in 1980s when Mr.Chimanbhai Patel , then Chief Minister of Gujarat State, provided special 15% addition seats for girls students in engineering. Since then the average number of girls students in department are 12. Very many have pursued post graduate studies in india and overseas and are actively engaged in professional field. Few changed to field of Computer science and Business management and Cost Accounting. Some have even taken over family business to become technocrat. Many good students attracted to CAME [ a computer based curicula focusing of hardware, software and applications] elective and performed exceedingly well in studies. In fact quite a few girls participated enthusiastically to volunteer the MSU stall putup at VCCI '99 Industrial exhibition.</B></I></div><div><I><B><IMG BORDER="0" src="Wing0a73007700c80000ff00.gif" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Preeti Iyer, CAME batch of 1998, was first to participate at students paper meet 'mindbend98' at SVREC Surat and secured first prize. </B></I></div><div><I><B><IMG BORDER="0" src="Wing0a73007700c80000ff00.gif" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Harsha Tank, CAME batch of 2000, was another student participated at 'mindbend 2000' held at SVREC Surat and securing first prize.</B></I></div><div><I><B><IMG BORDER="0" src="Wing0a73007700c80000ff00.gif" HEIGHT="13" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Saimali Shah,CAME batch of 1999, stood 1st in CAME elective Subject in her batch in final year.
