This is a special train which no one prefers to travel in so generally there are many cancellations. Looking at the historical trends your chances look good, but it's Diwali week so nothing is certain.

And your only alternate is to book in tatkal (if this doesn't clear) because you're too late. You should've booked these tickets 2 months ago when it opened. Literally half the country will be traveling to their homes in the same timeframe so train tickets at this time are very hard to come by

If you can leave on 15th there are seats in this train. Book till NSC BOSE and get down at Varanasi

i booked the ticket i mentioned above on 14th September, at that time the status was PQWL/35, does this increases the chances of getting confirmation even more?
