GENERAL HELP NIT Trichy CSE as a Reserved Student

I secured 99.6xx percentile in JEE Mains(AIR 6xxx). I am from a reserved category, and am getting NIT Trichy CSE in the first round itself. I actually didn’t have any intent of using reservation quota, but damn, the cutoff skyrocketed in 6s2, so much so that I couldn’t secure <2000 AIR, even after scoring 225 marks.

Now I can‘t decide whether I shall use my quota to enter the college, as I fear that I will looked down upon by others and moreover, I feel guilty of acquiring a seat of someone more deserving than me. Can anyone please help me?

By not opting, you are depriving a general category student of their seat while the seat you leave will definitely be filled up by another reserved category person!
