As you know , you are provided with a CRL & Category rank.
Now , in every colleges there are certain number of seats that are preserved for quota students and the others for CRL. Now , if the college you apply in have a quota seat vacant and if there is no category rank better than yours, you will get that seat.
Also if you have a good CRL , then there is no need to be tensed , you may get a seat through your CRL.
So both of the ranks are considered according to the vacancy of seats.
If you have more questions , feel free to ask.
I hope my answer helps you. Wish you a prosperous career ahead!
