Re: quota system and Pakistan
Looks like sunni sunnai. Here is the admission policy from Karachi University. Any non-Karachiites that may show up will be tiny fraction.

Admissions on Reserved Seats
Some seats have been reserved for dependants of Karachi University Employees; Candidates for admission to these seats should ensure that they meet the criterion of eligibility for the University as well as the concerned department.
Admissions on Merit Seats
Preference in admissions is given to “K” [Karachi] category candidates. In case seats are left , “S” [Sindhi] category candidates are considered. If seats are still available then consideration is given to “P” [Pakistani] category candidates.
And these categories are further defined as:
Karachi-only category - everyone to be admitted.
Category “K” comprises those applicants who have passed their Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and Graduation or equivalent examination from educational institutions situated in Karachi and also recognized by the University or affiliated with the University of Karachi.
Sindhi-category - If any seats are leftover from Karachi-only
2. Category “S” comprises those applicants who have passed at least one of the S.S.C., H.S.C certificate and Graduation examinations from a recognized educational institution in the Province of Sindh (Excluding Karachi).
Rest of Pakistan category - If everyone got in from Karachi, then Sindh and still seats are left over.
Category “P” comprises those applicants who have passed at least one of the S.S.C., H.S.C certificate and Graduation examinations from a recognized educational institution outside the Province of Sindh.
Karachi only category!
No other city in Pakistan to best of my knowledge has been extended this much qouta, there is no qouta for any city in Punjab university or any other university of Punjab. Yet its karachites who are complaining.
