Thank you and all the best...
It's too late.
The conducting body will not accept it in a mere of hardly few days that your ews category changed.
Otherwise, you can try contacting IIT Roorkee, but unfortunately there is not much chance this year. You will have to wait till next year if you want to make use of your reserved category. Good luck.
