Explanation

The University of Bombay was the first in India to throw all its university examinations open to girls.

This pioneering step opened the way for women to pursue formal degrees in the country.

Punjab University adopted such openness later and was not the first.

Calcutta University, though an early modern university, was not the first to open all its examinations to girls.

Savitribai Phule University, the renamed university of Pune, came into being much later.

This reform marked an important early advance in women's access to higher education in India.
