As a followup, what class should I choose? How different are they? AC 1? 2? 3? Sleeper? What is the most comfortable, most private, safest? I will be traveling alone with minimal (but not 0) luggage, and will likely be exhausted from my flight from home. The train is in the afternoon and takes about 4 hours I think. I would actually prefer an earlier train, but not all classes are available.
Finally, with an e-ticket, how early should I arrive? I will be at the Courtyard Gurgaon the night before.
Thanks

i've taken train journeys between delhi- chandigarh a number of times....mostly i book in the executive chair car & its extremely comfortable....
depending on what time your train is, it will take you close to an hour to get to the station from gurgaon....just make sure you are at the station 20 minutes before departure time & you will be fine....
