Yes. Any order passed by the assessing officer, including a reassessment order, can be revised if it is erroneous and prejudicial to revenue, within the time limit.

Provisions

Sec 263, Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 377, Income-tax Act 2025); Sec 147, Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 279, Income-tax Act 2025)

Analysis

The 2-year limit runs from the end of the financial year in which the reassessment order was passed. Check which issues the revision targets; issues not part of the reassessment may be outside scope. Gather the reassessment records. Use the same defences.
