Sablog sab tarha hi baat kiye lekin iska answer nhi diya. Waise train kaafi popular hai aur yahi problem hai ki isme unreserved log aate hai ac class mai bhi. This is true and specially between Mughal Sarai and Gaya.

Purushottam is generally spared in this matter. You'll find unreserved/without ticket/waitlisted passengers in Sleeper.
Most of the staff prefer Mahabodhi over Purushottam, Mahabodhi being a local train/more stops till DDU.
But the situation is not like that in mainline.
