This train has one FC coach. I travelled on this from VSKP to Araku. It was Sunday. I noticed that a 4 berth cabin is shared by 6 passengers. On enquiry from TTE, they mentioned that day time journey will be shared whereas during night, there will be 1 person allotted per berth. Then I realized that in FC seat booking, we don't get any seat numbers unlike other classes. As most of the travelers in this train availing FC coach are from VSKP to Araku, therefore, the arrangement is such that more person will get allotted per FC berth/cabin in this route.
Another pain point noted is that the view from FC cabin on this train is not good as these

cabins are located on the left side of the train while travelling towards Araku. As a result, the windows on the alley as well as the doors which are on the right side of the train are completely occupied. Now people travelling in FC and squatting on the alley window or standing on the doors to get the glimpse or take snaps of the valley gives a feeling as if you are travelling in general second class coach and not in FC.
