What is "intake"?
Intake refers to the group of individuals who are admitted to a program, course, or institution during a particular time frame, such as a semester or academic year. It represents the new batch of students who start their studies or training during that specific period. The intake can vary in size and may be a key factor in planning for resources, staff, and facilities needed to support the new group of learners.
Example

The intake for the engineering program was limited due to a shortage of faculty members.
