This research study is conducted to explore the changing trends of higher education among female students in Pakistan. Enrollment trends of male and female students were studied for four years (2011-14) specifically in context of University of the Punjab. This research study has used secondary data for supporting literature and findings. Fact books (2011-14) of Punjab University were used as secondary source of data collection. Graphs and charts were used to analyze the data. Enrollment trends of four years were analyzed with respect to Gender and discipline. Findings from this study depicts that female students are opting non-traditional subjects such as Business administration, Management, Engineering and Law. Furthermore trends show decreasing number of male students in every field of study. It may be the right time now to encourage male students to pursue higher education equally like females since this imbalance may create problems in economic and social terrain of society in near future.
