PNR prediction — check your train ticket confirmation chances online on a phone

A PNR prediction tells you the estimated chance your RAC or waiting-list ticket will confirm before you travel — like a confirmation-chances calculator for your exact train. Here is how to check it and read the result.

What a PNR Prediction Shows

Enter your 10-digit PNR and a prediction returns two things: your live status (CNF, RAC or WL number) and an estimated confirmation chance for your train, class and quota. It works like a calculator — it reads your ticket's position and compares it with how the same train has cleared before. Learn the detail in PNR confirmation probability: how to check.

How to Check Your Confirmation Chances

1. Keep your 10-digit PNR from your IRCTC ticket ready.

2. Enter it on our PNR status tool.

3. Read your status plus a predicted confirmation chance instantly.

No login or app needed — it works on mobile and desktop.

How to Read the Result

How Accurate Is the Prediction?

It is a strong, data-based estimate — not a guarantee. It is most reliable for low GNWL numbers on busy daily trains, and least certain for small quotas and festival dates. See how accurate PNR prediction is.

Why Use It Before You Travel

A prediction turns a confusing WL number into a clear decision: wait, or rebook. Check it the day you book and again a few days before departure as waiting lists clear.

Bottom line: a PNR prediction is a confirmation-chances calculator for your ticket — enter your PNR, read the predicted chance and your quota, and decide whether to wait or keep a backup.
