There are only four South Indian states. I am aware of caste-based quotas, but not gender-based ones. Can you provide a source for this?

No there are 5 South Indian States.

Here is a link to explaining Quotas in Colleges for AP and Telangana. http://www.netbadi.in/reservation-quotas.html?showall=1

Women's Quota for both states in 33.3% (1/3rd has to be women).

Personally I think it worked well. The Quota was first implemented in 1993.

There are. I lived through it. For the same grade, a girl could get into a better school than me.
