Very helpful and desired comments and Railway Board should upgrade their Software to include these provisions. more  
Following are certain options available(only if tickets are available, not for waitlist) Book only if confirm berths are allotted Book , only if all berths are allotted in same coach Book, only if at least 1 lower berth is allotted Book, only if 2 lower berths are allotted Preferred Coach ID Not sure how complex it would be to allow user to select seat. Number of transactions happening on irctc is pretty huge compared to airlines. In airlines, people have to pay extra for most of seats(if seats are selected while booking). If they add seat selection procedure, then it will increase ticket booking time. By the time a person selects the seat, all the tickets would have been gone more
