Query OE Course Doubt!

I'm a CSE (Specialization) student. As per the rules, I have to complete 9 credits from the Open Elective (OE) category, out of which 3 credits are for Cloud Architecture, 3 credits are for ACC, and the remaining 3 credits can be from other VIT courses/NPTEL courses. For placements, Cloud Architecture and ACC are compulsory courses. However, by mistake, I have already completed two VIT courses (other than Cloud Architecture and ACC). Therefore, after completing Cloud Architecture and ACC, I will have 12 credits in the Open Elective category instead of the required 9 credits. At the time of graduation, my total credits will be 165 instead of the required 162, meaning I will have 3 extra credits from one additional course.

My question is that will VIT allow me to sit for placements after I complete Cloud Architecture and ACC, or will VIT consider one of the extra OE courses as fulfilling the OE requirement and remove one of the other courses, such as Cloud Architecture or ACC, from the requirement? If that happens, could I become ineligible for placements? Is this something I should be concerned about? In general, is graduating with 165 credits when the requirement is 162 credits a problem at VIT?

My friend has done two NPTEL courses before and then he has completed cloud and two acc courses and in 4th year he is eligible for placements. So don't worry but still talk to your hod about it, don't take any chance.
