Hello Aspirant, hope you are doing good.
So, The preparatory rank in JEE advance, even for SC category, is not really an actual rank. It's basically a rank for preparatory courses. This means, the vacant seats in IITs that are not occupied by anyone after counselling, are given to some other students, who get a year to prepare in IITs. They, then appear for an examination the next year, and based on that their seat is confirmed in the respective IITs. So, i don't think that preparatory ranks are accepted in any counselling.
