IR should offer an option to select seats for every class. Some people were saying that IR's seat booking system allocates seats as per gravity or something which i think is pure bullshit.
Take an example
12261 Mumbai Howrah (Kolkata) Duronto Express departing today is going with roughly 40% occupancy and rest 60% of the train is empty.
But you can see how Third AC coach B4 is almost completely filled, while coaches next to it are 70% vacant.
As someone who wants a window seat. The system would see my age and just decides to give me the worst seat possible.
