The relative number of the girls among the applicants from the southern regions of the republic comprise only 9 –, 32 percent but the relative number of the girls from northern regions is 59 –, 66 percent. The specialty preference of the average male applicant is mostly for mathematics, physics and engineering specialties but specialty the preference of the average female applicant is mainly for the humanities.
