There is another rank which is given, apart from CRL, called as JEE Advanced Preparatory Rank. For example, if your JEE Advanced Preparatory Rank is 150, then it will be written as 150-P. It is completely different from CRL and it has a different meaning also. Let's know more about it. The vacant seats reserved for SC, ST and PwD candidates will be allotted to the candidates of respective categories for admission to a preparatory course of one-year duration on the basis of relaxed admission criteria. Admission is given to the candidates in the preparatory course provided
The seats reserved for the respective category are vacant and Candidates have not accepted a seat in the preparatory course earlier.

If you want to get into research programme M.Sc, then I think a rank of up to 200 will be fine, but there will be a detailed technical interview. For the course programme (ME), a rank of 30 may or may not get you a seat. A rank of under 10 definitely will, this is generally applicable for all the different streams of GATE through which the Aerospace programme at IISc admits students. The course programme is fairly intensive with 15 courses and A.M.E. Project. My friends used to stay very busy with so much coursework. The research programme has 1 to 1.5 years of research involved and 1-2 publications are expected, course requirement is minimal and only 4 courses are required. The M.Sc. Programme is designed to help the faculty to have students do their research, so it is entirely in their hands to let you graduate, just like in a Ph.D. The M.Sc. could take at least 2.5 years in most cases. Placements vary greatly from year to year. Companies that visit are Airbus, GE, Rolls Royce, Eaton, GKN aerospace, Timetooth etc. It might happen that a student with a good GPA also might have to apply off campus. Some companies don't have openings for M.Sc. Students.

I can understand from what kind of thoughts you're going through because I myself have been through this tough time because I have also scored les than 60% Marks in my 12th standard. I started self-loathing and I was really depressed but One thing I was sure of that i have will and can do hard work. My family persisted me to do 12th again. And score good marks then Think about college. I didn't know what to do that time because I had no exposure even being in a educated family, I couldn't get mature enough solutions to my problem. Then I decided that I don't want to do my 12th again and I will admission in any Private Engineering College and will Pursue Computer Science Engineering. CAUTION - Every single Private University is out there To Make Money and nothing. If you find any good private engineering college with good placements support then Go for it (keeping Money Factor in mind because they charge huge). .
