Lahore, Punjab Government has decided to end quota system in colleges and universities. With the implementation of “End of Quota System in Punjab Universities and colleges” the children and relatives of VVIP’s could not be able to get admission and admission would only be granted on merit basis. There are 15% seats reserved for Quota System in Government Colleges and Universities in Punjab.
