The DPA will be available to Express and Normal (Academic) students in the Sec 4 and 5 years respectively. Like the DSA-JC, the DPA will be available to all schools. Each polytechnic will have its own selection criteria, which will be based on merit. The selection criteria could include school based results, passion and talents demonstrated by the students in various activities and competitions, recommendations from teachers and principals, performance at immersion programmes and interviews by the polytechnic lecturers. Students' participation and grades in Advanced Elective Modules (AEMs) and Applied Subjects (AS) may also be considered, as they reflect students' interest and aptitude in applied learning.
