Hi Aspirant,

Preparatory Course SC Rank in JEE Advance examination means that the vacant seats reserved for SC, ST, and PwD candidates, which don't get filled in the counseling, will be allotted to the respective candidate's categories for admission to a preparatory course. Preparatory courses mean that for one year, you will be prepared and trained in IIT. After one year, you'll be declared 'pass' or 'fail' according to which you will get direct admission in an undergraduate course from the next academic session.
