May 29 2018 (16:22) New IRCTC Facility: Know Chances Of Waitlisted Railway Train Ticket Getting Confirmed
Jayashree^ 51390 news posts
When you book a railway ticket next time through IRCTC's website and get a waitlisted ticket, you will know the chances of the ticket getting confirmed....
Not sure what algorithm is used and what data mining is done to give prediction analysis. Hope CRIS has considered journey starting and journey ending station as well in the algorithm, apart from only WL type. Because probability depends on stations as well, not just number. Even within same WL, a short journey with higher WL can get confirmed, while a long journey with lower WL may not get confirmed. In the below example, my CSMT-PUNE WL30 ticket can get confirmed, while my friend's CSMT-SUR WL20 ticket may remain waitlisted post charting.

The prediction algorithm is totally flawed and needs a lot of improvement. For long distance 250+ WL it was showing 37% chances (actual - 0%).....and for very short distance RLWL which will CNF easily it is showing less chances
