Hey Jeewan,

Hope you are doing well!
Sorry dear,this is not possible,and maybe considered as a wrong practise By the administration.

If You belong to SC category and also have the verified certificate of the same then only you will be considered as SC and allowed to take admission by your respective category,else you will be counted as general.

Hope This was helpful!

All the best!

Keep Smiling :)
