The number of DSA offers we extend depends on the quality of students who apply each year. After many years of administering the DSA exercise, we have observed that, on average, we admit approximately 30% of our Year 1 cohort through the DSA-Sec exercise.
We do not have a specific quota for the number of students to admit under each domain/talent area. This is entirely dependent on the quality of students who apply for a particular domain in a given year. For example, if we receive a higher number of strong candidates applying for the English talent area, we will admit more students under that specific talent area
