Is it possible to use specify the template path for each instance in a template repeater.  
Example ,  
I have 2 master template named Control, Status  
In a template repeater component i want to specify control or status template to use for each repeat instance and which is based on a value in the specific column in dataset.

Thanks in advance.

No.

Your two options are either:

1. A 'meta' template which is repeated and has a parameter to decide which template to render inside itself.
2. The 'Template Canvas', which is like the template repeater but with significantly more flexibility.

I would encourage the use of option 2.

@paul-griffith ,  
Thank you  
I have tried the second option and its working as expected.  
And the alignment is little bit difficult when using dynamic number of templates.
