Travelling is fun and getting your favourite seat is icing on the cake. But, what if you are not allowed to choose your seat, even when you do a prior booking?

In Indian railways, one is not allowed to choose a seat according to their choice, but are instead allotted by IRCTC alone. There are many theories that a common man has for this question; but we are here to clear the air.
Find out the actual reasons that are as mentioned below...
IRCTC
Is
Designed
In
A
Unique
Pattern...
IRCTC
ticket-booking
software
is
designed
in
such
a
way
that
it
will
book
tickets
in
a
manner
which
will
help
to
distribute
the
load
evenly
in
a
train.
Booking
Starts
With
Mid-berth
To
maintain
a
balance,
the
ticket
booking
starts
from
the
mid-berth
initially;
and
when
all
the
bogies
get
filled,
it
moves
on
to
the
other
seats.
Proper
Balance
Is
Maintained
The
Railways
just
wants
to
ensure
that
a
proper
balance
is
maintained
in
each
coach
and
also
the
fact
that
the
train
should
have
an
equal
load
distribution.

Reason
Why
You
Should
Maintain
Balance
Imagine
when
the
train
takes
a
turn,
there
are
some
coaches
that
face
maximum
centrifugal
force
and
a
few
experience
minimum
force.
This
can
create
a
high
chance
of
derailment
of
the
train.
Age
And
Gender
Priority
The
lower
berths
are
either
booked
or
reserved
for
women
and
senior
citizens,
while
the
men
and
young
boys
are
alloted
the
upper
berth.
Well,
this
does
make
sense!
