On my degree (chemical technology, Poland) it was very easy to get into (200 places with low cutoff score), but on the second year there was only 100 pupils. There is a general correlation between initial points (Polish standardised high school test) and future academic success, but if they were to admit 100 people, only about 65 would manage to go to the second year. Changing admission standards doesn't mean that they change graduation standards.
