What GNWL 100 means
GNWL 100 means you are at waitlist position 100 in the General Waitlist (GNWL) pool. GNWL is linked to the train's main quota — the largest pool — giving it the best confirmation rate of all waitlist types. At this position, the confirmation rate is approximately 2–7% — rated Very Low.
GNWL 100 probability by route and class
GNWL 100 rarely confirms at this number. This varies by route (busy metro routes like Delhi-Mumbai or Delhi-Kolkata have more cancellations), class (Sleeper class moves faster than AC classes because it has more seats), season (festival periods have fewer cancellations and lower confirmation rates), and how many days remain before chart preparation.
What to do now
Confirmation is unlikely for most routes at this number. Book an alternative now and treat this ticket as a long shot. Cancel 24+ hours before departure if you don't use it.
