Aaron J. Waltke joined Screen Rant for a deep dive into the Star Trek: lore in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, and he explained why Starfleet Academy has both a Nova Squadron and a Red Squad, likening the elite cadets to Top Gun. Waltke also confirms the exact status of Maj'el within Starfleet Academy's Nova Squadron and why they start with animosity towards Dal R'El and his friends aboard the USS Voyager-A.
In terms of Maj’el, and Grom, and Zeph’s place in , in the opening, you hear them referred to as Nova Squadron candidates. So I don't think this has ever been elucidated fully in Star Trek lore, but we kind of visualize them as a little bit like fraternities with specialized training. Nova Squadron tends to be more about sort of helping conn officers become their best selves, whereas Red Squad, I think, is more specifically about command or something to that effect.
