No, because the results have already been declared so you cannot change your category now. Because once you have given test with that particular category then rank will be decided on basis of the category that you have applied while filling the application form. The correction portal is the last chance to edit any mistakes in the form after that you can not edit any details. And since the rank card has been released, so you cannot change your category.
