Is the train berth full, the waiting list long, and you need to travel somewhere urgently? Most people look for expensive flights or other options, but today we are telling you the tricks that can get you a Confirmed Train Ticket.

1. Use IRCTC's Awesome Feature

IRCTC's website has a great feature that most passengers ignore. Its name is 'Alternate Train Accommodation' or 'Vikalp Scheme'. If you have booked a waiting ticket, then by turning on this option, your chances of getting confirmed increase manifold. This feature works to give you a confirmed seat on another train on the same route. However, it depends on the availability of the train.

When you are not getting a seat on the train while booking tickets, try a small trick. Try booking tickets from 11 pm to 12 pm. This time slot has less traffic and the system also works faster. If you show booking from a smaller station, such as 1-2 stops before a major station, the chances of getting a seat increase. Suppose you have to go from Delhi to Varanasi, then you can see the ticket from Ghaziabad to Varanasi. Booking Tatkal tickets is sometimes very difficult. In such a situation, you can adopt the Auto Fill Extension method. Meaning install extensions like 'Tatkal for Sure' or 'Magic Autofill' in Google Chrome. Fill all the details in advance and submit everything in one click as soon as the time comes. You can find out how much chance there is of getting a ticket confirmed from apps like ConfirmTkt and RailYatri. In these, the chance of getting confirmed in the waiting list and the idea of an alternative train is also available. If the ticket is not confirmed, then on the day you have to travel, go to the station and talk to the train TTE after the chart is prepared. Many times vacant seats are left which are given to those boarding from the station.
