About RRB ALP CBT-1 2026

The Railway Recruitment Boards conducted the CBT-1 exam for Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) against CEN 01/2025 on multiple dates. The exam was held from 13 February 2026 to 18 February 2026 and again on 11 March 2026. Lakhs of candidates appeared in this Computer Based Test across various exam centres in India.

CBT-1 is the first stage in the RRB ALP selection process. After CBT-1, shortlisted candidates go on to appear in CBT-2, followed by Computer Based Aptitude Test (CBAT), Document Verification, and Medical Examination. The Cut Off for CBT-1 determines who moves forward in the selection process.

Now that the exam is over, RRBs have released the provisional answer key along with the questions and candidates' recorded responses. This is an important step that gives candidates a chance to check whether all questions and answers in the official key are correct.
