Hi Puys,

I am a long time lurker, and am posting because I am facing a very difficult situation. Just as a background, I am a general category applicant, and I bought a general category CAT form, but filled it online incorrectly by checking the ST box. I discovered the issue after the last date of changes were over, so I couldn't make amends.

I called the helpline and they said that it shouldn't be a problem and even my scorecard doesn't have ST marked anywhere. But today I was shortlisted under ST category for IIM K, and I think every other IIM will follow suit.

Can you please suggest what my next steps should be? I am really worried how this will affect my legitimate calls.
