In the past, the BBC has attributed this lack of gender equality on the show to the university selection process rather than part of the show's selection process.
The BBC told the Telegraph in 2015 it would ask universities for greater support to ensure more diversity in the show's contestants. The BBC did not immediately respond to Mashable'srequest for comment.
