Can you apply under non-SDS intentionally even if you are fulfilling the requirements of SDS like 6.5 bands and etc?

Yes. SDS is not mandatory. it's up to you if you want to file under SDS or non-SDS.

but frankly speaking, you dont have a chance to choose between SDS or non-SDS. the system leads you to the category automatically based on your answers.

Yes. You can manipulate your answers though. But if you have completed biometrics in last 10 years and medicals with in the last 1 year, then you are pretty much stuck with SDS. Even then I think you can select No to GIC etc during questionnaire.
