Basing this solely as a person from India and not some research background,

In the small minority of hacker rank study set, I would say that women are just as much encouraged or frankly expected to be in STEM as men. Although I am fairly certain that this observation will quickly disappear and will be heavily male dominated on a larger percentage of the population.

Really, looking at the actual hacker rank source, it seems like their sample set is really tiny and heavily biased.
