Yes, several scholarships are available for private college students: (1) Central Sector Scheme — for students with family income below ₹8 lakhs. (2) State government merit-cum-means scholarships. (3) AICTE scholarships for girl students. (4) SC/ST post-matric scholarships if applicable. Apply on the National Scholarship Portal (scholarships.gov.in).

Also check if your college has its own scholarship or fee-waiver scheme. Many private colleges offer merit-based scholarships to students with JEE/state CET ranks below a certain threshold.
