I have renewed my passport online. Once filling in online I mentioned ecr instead of ecnr and i got the passport in ecr. Can i change that back to ecnr? I have worked abroad for more than 5 years and i don't have any SSLC certificate.

Yes. But for this purpose you need to schedule a prior online appointment and need to pay the prescribed fee and you will be issued a fresh passport and the earlier passport with ECR status will be cancelled by the PSK officials.
