Dear Aspirant,

Congratulations on getting a great preparatory course rank.

Let me explain to you what a preparatory course rank is. It is a rank that promises an IIT seat to reserved category students. Such seats provided were prior vacant seats and no candidate had taken that seat either.

The seat provided is for a year. At the end of the year, the candidate is declared pass or fail depending on his or her performance.

So, coming to the main question, whether you could achieve an IIT seat depends upon the number of preparatory seats present in the IITs.

Stay relaxed, often there are vacancies and you may land on an IIT seat.

Good Luck.
