Here are the steps to book train tickets in tatkal from Chandigarh.
0 Take the tatkal form from any of the counters. You have to shout for it. Don't resist the initiative.
1 Reach the ticket booking counters first, next to ATM and new eatery run by IRCTC.
2 For AC timings 10am and For Sleeper 11am. But before that, add your name in the token list. Here people on their own make list to sort chaos. So ask anyone who is preparing the list on that particular day else they won't let you enter in the queue. Seriously!
3 Then the official guy comes in and makes the queue outside counter. Only for those whose names are on the list. He assigns you number on your list. Make a note of it.
4 After all this, they let you stand in two different queue. Divide and stand.
5 Finally you are allowed to stand in the tatkal queue. Now depending on your fate you will be given the confirmed ticket else waiting.
6 Usually 10-15 tickets are given on confirmed status rest all waiting.
This pretty much sum's up my first experience of booking a tatkal ticket in Chandigarh. If anyone looking to book their first tatkal ticket, you would find this post of mine very useful.
Good luck and be safe!
