      Not everywhere, I guess. The advisor needs to show good numbers to the stakeholders board, after all

        I think that’s on the entrance selection committee, not the supervisor. (Although they are probably part of that committee)

          I don’t know for sure, but my advisor used to worry about the amount of successful PhD graduates, because of the department quota, iirc

          on the other hand

          his quota was not too high, and he allowed me to enroll and was okay with me, although I said in advance that I will likely become a drop out
