During chart preparation, for allotting berths to "RAC-to-confirmed" cases, will the berth preference entered during ticket reservation be considered? Say, I asked for lower berth and got an RAC ticket and later it becomes confirmed. Will I get a lower berth? Say I had a good RAC number - less than 10.
No such preference taken into consideration.
As per the availability of berth it will be allotted...it can be any berth..LB/UB/MB/SLB/SUB

Thanks, but what is the problem in satisfying the preference? Allotment is done only during chart preparation, so they can see the preference and availability and try to match as much as possible instead of blinding allotting RAC-to-confirmed seats as and when a seat is cancelled.
I am not sure what is the logic, if any. However, whenever I am in need of lower berths and less seats are available I try to book low number RACs and generally got LBs.

Once I was travelling alone and wanted a UB but still got LB even though I had a low RAC number.

It is always subjected to availiabilty.. There is no specific reason or pattern in allotment of berths. In IR it is a lottery system..
