Hello Shreya,
As per the guidelines of registration you need to proceed with the documents you have uploaded and the category you have choosen. So it is not possible to change your category. But if incase during your verification they find any mismatch there are chances that they would transfer your seat to open category. You can visit the following link for your query.
