There are three main ways your RAC ticket can get confirmed. First, if a passenger with a confirmed ticket cancels, the system automatically gives that berth to the next person in the RAC queue. Second, during chart preparation, any unfilled seats from VIP or emergency quotas are given to RAC passengers. If you have a low RAC number like 1, 2, or 3, your chances of getting a full berth are almost 100%. Finally, even after you board, there's still a chance. The TTE checks for no-shows. If a confirmed passenger doesn't turn up, the TTE can allot that empty berth to you on the spot.
