At Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg Sweden 80% of the students would pass the entrance exam in the 60s.

These days it's reversed, only 20% pass.

I was told this was the case around 2005 when I studied there.

The exam has not changed in difficulty.

Has what students are expected to know changed since the 60s? For instance, have there been any, I dunno, new developments in technology over the past 60-odd years?
