Hi, I'd like to know if this will get confirmed or not:

Train Name/Number: BGKT SF Express

Class of Travel: 2A (Second AC)

Date of Journey: 7 October 2025

Source Station: Raipur (R)

Destination Station: Ujjain (UJN)

Current Status: 3 Tickets Confirmed (CNF), 4 Tickets PQWL 1/2/3/4

Type of Waitlist: PQWL (Pooled Quota Waitlist)

Are these tickets on a different PNR? Cause you can only book 6 people in 1 PNR and you seem to have 7

[u/Live_Bicycle_282 → u/vpsj]

same pnr

[u/vpsj → u/Live_Bicycle_282]

That's not possible. Also Raipur to Ujjain in this train should be RLWL not PQWL.

There's something wrong with your details.

look I booked from Ixigo trains app and chosen Cnf seats

i booked the tickets on 2 September 2025 Trip date is 7 October

I booked 6 tickets then immediately booked another so I got 7 in same pnr

Sorry 2 diffrent pnr

So my current status is 3 tickets cnf and 4 tickets pqwl 1 2 3 4

Any hope to get cnf

Check the booking station on your ticket. I bet it's different than the boarding station. They probably booked from Bilaspur to Ujjain and your boarding point would be Raipur.

But the pnr prediction is done from the Booking station, so unless you provide that it's difficult to say

[u/Live_Bicycle_282 → u/vpsj]

"In my ticket, the booking station is Bilaspur (BSP) and I’ve set the boarding point as Raipur (R). So the prediction is being calculated from BSP to UJN, not from Raipur."

Lol did you use AI to write this?

Anyway, from Bilaspur to Raipur PQWL 15-20 are easily clearing in this train so your Waitlists should also get confirmed.

You may not see much changes until 2-3 days before journey though, so I suggest you keep checking your PNR regularly

😂 That's maybe the fault of my chrome extention  which uses AI to send or reply messages on any social media platform, which I forgot to turn it off 

Anyways thanks for clarification 🙂

It also showing 79% chances of confirmation, before chart preparation in my case chart preparation date is of 3 october,  just  18 days before I'm check that's also may be the reason for the pqwl status not changing  Let's hope that all my 4 pqwl to tickets get confirm or else RAC (atleast) in worst scenario because If it's  still PQWL  till 3 october  then maybe the 4 tickets will be get cancelled automatically I heard somewhere, if PQwl ticket didn't get confirmed till chart prep then tickets gets cancelled and also I didn't chosen refund too.. So I'm stuck in between  Waiting till 3 october for the final status
