Recently I got to know about real time kernel. I just wanted to know how can I make my current CentOS 7.3 kernel into a real time kernel.
Kernel version I have is "3.10.0-514.2.2.el7.x86_64".

You need to first add the CentOS real time repo:
Then install the rt-kernel and tuned profile:
Note, though, that a real time kernel alone does not automatically give you optimal real time behavior. There are many knobs that would need tuning to achieve that, from BIOS level (e.g. disabling CPU power save, some SMI interrupts, etc.) to system level (CPU partitioning, IRQ balancing, etc.) to application level.
You can find some useful tuning tips in the Advanced Tuning for RHEL for Real Time doc.
