New Delhi: Today is going to be a special day for crores of passengers traveling by Indian Railways. Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) is going to launch its new website, which is expected to completely change the experience of online ticket booking. Modern design, better speed and many such smart features have been included in the new website, the aim of which is to provide passengers the facility of fast, easy and hassle-free ticket booking.

According to the Railway Ministry, the new IRCTC website has been designed keeping in mind the shortcomings of the old portal. Its interface will be more simple and user friendly than before. The layout of the website has been made such that even new users can easily access the services they need. Railways says that the website will not only be new in appearance, but its technical capabilities will also be better. This is expected to make the ticket booking process faster and more convenient than before.

You will get new design and clean interface

The biggest change of the new website will be its new look. Many times passengers were troubled due to excessive advertisements, pop-ups and different sections on the existing website. An attempt has been made to reduce these problems in the new website. Users will now get a clean and organized interface, which will make important options easily visible and the website will also be easy to navigate.

Tatkal ticket booking will be better

IRCTC website is most used to book Tatkal tickets. Every day lakhs of passengers try to get Tatkal tickets, but due to high traffic the website often becomes slow or faces technical problems. In the new website, special attention has been paid to making the ticket booking process more effective. It is expected that this will make the website perform better even during high traffic and passengers will have less trouble in booking Tatkal tickets.

Emphasis on modern technology and new features

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and smart technologies in online services has increased rapidly over time. Keeping this in mind, many modern features have also been added to the new IRCTC website. Although the detailed information about all the features will be revealed after the launch, but Railways says that through new technology, the website has been made smarter and more useful than before, so that passengers can get a better digital experience.

Changes happened after students’ complaints

A few weeks ago, a group of students met Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav and informed about many problems related to the existing IRCTC website. He had told that during ticket booking, the speed of the website becomes slow, captcha has to be filled repeatedly and many unnecessary pop-ups also appear. Taking these suggestions seriously, the Railway Minister directed the officials to develop the website afresh. After this, a new website was prepared, in which an attempt has been made to solve the problems of the users.

Feedback from users taken before launch

Before finalizing the new website, Railways showed its beta version to some students and also took suggestions from them. Based on these suggestions, necessary changes were made in the website, so that passengers could get a better and smoother experience at the time of launch. Railways believes that the new IRCTC website will not only make ticket booking easier but will also save time for passengers. With better speed, modern design and user-friendly features, this portal is considered an important step towards giving a new experience to the digital services of Indian Railways.
