It was pointed out the CentOS-devel mailing list the below link- http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel
which allows me to create a rpm for my customized kernel and install it.
Now my question is there no method where in I can apply a kernel source tree from kernel.org(maybe 3,x version) and install it on Centos ?
No problem. Just use kernel-ml/lt from ELRepo:

I would point out that I have personally been using kernel-ml on all my main CentOS-6 workstations for months (maybe even years :D) without major problems.
The only issue I have ever really had was getting the NVIDIA drivers to compile post 3.13.x:

You might also need a newer acpi .. check the known issues here:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml
But, on both my ThinkPad T520 and Dell M4500N laptops, the kernel-ml works great for me.
