RAC stands for reservation against cancellation. This means Rajesh may get a berth reserved in his name only if another passenger travelling by this train in the same class cancels his ticket. But those with waiting list status after the reservation charts have been prepared are not allowed to board the train.
What if your status is still WL even after the chart is prepared? The chances of getting a reserved accommodation is grim , especially if your current WL status is say within 5 or so. The best way is to approach the TTE of the train to check your chances of getting a seat. A TTE is typically responsible for a few coaches.
He first verifies all the passengers by going from one end of the coach to the other end. Once he completes this , he would have a list of vacant accommodation passengers who has not turned up or canceled their tickets after the list was made. Now he allots the vacant places. The RAC status passengers list is first cleared in order.
If still there are vacant accommodation , the WL passengers who approached him would be served. The whole process may take a couple of hours once the train has left the departing station. So the best strategy would be to approach him first at the station and get an idea, and then a little later when he is about to complete the passenger verification.
If in doubt just look around , you would see a number of passengers with WL tickets buzzing around the TTE. Follow the mob! A WL passenger is not allowed to travel as there is no seat no marked on the ticket in a reserved coach. However they can travel in the unreserved coaches attached. Some upscale trains like Rajadhani and Shadabdi Express doesnt have unreserved coaches. So WL status passengers can not travel in these trains.

It means that the ticket is issued for the intermediate stations between the originating and terminating stations. This is because these are the most important towns or cities on that particular route. Such type of tickets is given a separate priority. Their confirmations depend on the cancellations of a destination confirmed ticket. The stations prepare their chart at least two to three hours before the actual time of departure of the train.
However such tickets have fewer chances of confirmation. This waiting list is shared by many small stations. This quota originates from the originating station of a route.
There is only one Pooled Quota available for the entire run. It is allotted for the passengers who travel from the originating station to a station before the terminating station. It is also allotted for those traveling from an intermediate station to the terminating station or between two intermediate stations. It is allotted to the passenger when berths or seats are booked by the originating station to the roadside station. The distance restrictions may not apply in such cases.
However, there are very less chances of confirmation for this waiting list. RQWL : If you need to book a ticket from an intermediate station to another intermediate station and if the ticket is not covered by any general quota, remote location quota, or pooled quota, then the request for such tickets may go into the Request Waiting List RQWL.
