By a wide margin, the majority of Iranian university students are women. The ratio is over 60/40

I guess because many men are needed for the IRGC and related organisations.

I doubt that the intersection of IRGC volunteers and potential university students is too big.

The gender ratio is similar in other Middle Eastern countries. Once women in the Islamic world get the legal right to educate themselves, they tend to make use of it much more than men do. It is a pathway towards personal independence.
