The possibility of changing your category from General to EWS at NIT Srinagar during admission depends on a few factors:

NIT Srinagar Admission Policy: Every NIT might have its own specific guidelines regarding category change during admissions.  The best way to find out for sure is to check the official NIT Srinagar admission brochure or website for 2024. Look for sections related to "Category Change" or "Eligibility and Reservation."

Availability of EWS Seats:  Even if NIT Srinagar allows category changes, there might be a limited number of seats allocated for the EWS category. If those seats are already filled, you might not be able to switch categories.

Stage of Admissions:  The possibility of a category change might depend on whether you're applying during the initial application stage or during seat allotment rounds (like JOSAA counselling)
