Right, scholarships are better and motivating as well, quotas are demotivating for deserving people. Pakistan do grant some quotas to Gilgit Baltistan and FATA region people, but there share is less than 5% of the total jobs and educational quotas, only in federal run institutes and jobs not in provinces.
Educational standard do suffer with quotas, was reading there is as high as 50% quotas for such people in India in jobs and education, this is very high.
In medical field there shouldn't be any.
50% is minimum. States like Tamilnadu have 80% quota.
The following are reservations by state for OBC (other backward castes) only under Mandal commission since 1980s. This is already on top of the SC, ST & BC reservations that were already in place since the formation of India.
