Are there specific scholarships for girls in Arts?

Yes, many schemes like AICTE Pragati (for Engineering) or LIC Golden Jubilee explicitly reserve seats or offer exclusive funding for female students in technical and professional courses.

Can I apply if I got admission through management quota?

Most government scholarships require admission through a centralized counselling process based on entrance exam ranks. Management quota students are often ineligible for state and central government scholarship schemes.
