CBT 1 Result Details & Shortlisting Ratio
The CBT 1 result has been released separately by each of the 21 RRB regional boards covering 17 Railway Zones. Each board has published its own PDF list containing the roll numbers of candidates shortlisted for CBT 2, based on community-wise (category-wise) cut-off marks applicable to that particular RRB region.
✅ Key Result Facts
- Shortlisting ratio: Approximately 15 times the category-wise (community-wise) vacancies per RRB zone are shortlisted for CBT 2
- CBT 1 is qualifying only — your CBT 1 score does not carry forward to the final merit list; it only determines whether you proceed to CBT 2
- Normalisation applied: Since CBT 1 was conducted across multiple shifts (13–18 Feb and 11 March 2026), normalised marks (out of 75) have been used for cut-off determination
- Scorecard: Individual scorecards showing raw marks, normalised marks, and category-wise cut-off are available via candidate login at the respective regional RRB website
- No marks verification or re-checking is provided for CBT 1 as per RRB policy
04
CBT 1 Cut-off Marks 2026 — Category-wise (Out of 75)

Complete Selection Process & Exam Pattern — CBT 1, CBT 2, CBAT
✅ Stage 1 — CBT 1 (Completed, Result Declared)
| Section | Questions | Marks | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 20 | 20 | Total 75 Qs / 75 Marks Duration: 60 minutes Negative marking: 1/3 mark per wrong answer |
| General Intelligence & Reasoning | 25 | 25 | |
| General Science | 20 | 20 | |
| General Awareness on Current Affairs | 10 | 10 | |
| Total | 75 | 75 | Qualifying — Not in final merit |
⏳ Stage 2 — CBT 2 (Awaited, After 12 July 2026)
| Part | Subjects | Questions / Marks | Nature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part A | Mathematics, General Intelligence & Reasoning, Basic Science & Engineering, General Awareness on Current Affairs | 100 Questions / 100 Marks, 90 minutes | Merit Determining |
| Part B | Relevant Trade (based on candidate's ITI/Diploma trade) | 75 Questions / 75 Marks, 60 minutes | Qualifying (35% min) |
Final Merit for ALP (CEN 01/2025) = CBT 2 (Part A) Performance + CBAT Performance
Part B of CBT 2 is qualifying only (minimum 35% required) — not added to merit
🧠 Stage 3 — CBAT (Computer Based Aptitude Test)
📋 About CBAT — Applicable for ALP Posts Only
- Conducted only for candidates who qualify Part A and Part B of CBT 2 — applicable specifically for Assistant Loco Pilot posts
- Tests psychometric and aptitude parameters — spatial reasoning, alertness, perception, decision-making relevant to a loco pilot's safety-critical role
- Minimum T-score required: Generally 42 for UR/OBC/EWS categories and 36 for SC/ST candidates (as per RRB norms — may vary by notification)
- CBAT is conducted only once — candidates who do not qualify cannot be considered for ALP even with high CBT 2 marks; however, they may be considered for Technician posts (if applied) based on CBT 2 score alone
- Final merit = CBT 2 (Part A) score; CBAT is qualifying but its score may be used as a tie-breaker in some cases
08
What's Next — Action Plan for Shortlisted Candidates
✅ You're Shortlisted for CBT 2 — Here's What to Do
- Step 1: Save the result PDF and your individual scorecard from the regional RRB website as proof of shortlisting
- Step 2: Begin preparing for CBT 2 Part A (Maths, Reasoning, Basic Science & Engineering, Current Affairs) — this carries the actual merit weightage
- Step 3: Revise your trade-specific syllabus (based on your ITI/Diploma trade) thoroughly for Part B — minimum 35% is mandatory to qualify
- Step 4: Practice CBAT-style psychometric tests (spatial awareness, concentration, reaction time) — these are very different from regular MCQ practice and need dedicated preparation
- Step 5: Keep all original documents (10th certificate, ITI/Diploma certificate, category certificate, ID proof, photographs) ready for the Document Verification stage
- Step 6: Begin basic fitness and eye care routines — ALP medical standards (A-2/A-3) include strict vision and hearing requirements
⚠️ If your roll number is not in the CBT 1 result list, it means your normalised score was below the cut-off for your category and zone. There is no provision for re-checking CBT 1 marks. Candidates can watch for future RRB recruitment notifications (CEN 01/2026 for ALP has already been released separately with 11,127 vacancies, applications closing 14 June 2026).

Frequently Asked Questions — RRB ALP CBT 1 Result 2026
Q1
When was the RRB ALP CBT 1 Result 2026 declared and where can I check it?
+
The RRB ALP CBT 1 Result for CEN 01/2025 was declared on 12 June 2026. The result is not available on a single central website — it has been published zone-wise on each of the 21 regional RRB websites (e.g., rrbmumbai.gov.in, rrbcdg.gov.in, rrbsecunderabad.gov.in, etc.) under the "Results" section. Candidates should visit the website of the specific RRB region they applied under, download the result PDF for CEN 01/2025, and search for their roll number.
Q2
Why does the cut-off differ from zone to zone for the same exam?
+
RRB ALP recruitment is conducted zone-wise — each of the 21 RRBs has its own set of vacancies, and candidates from a particular zone compete only against other candidates who applied to that same zone. The cut-off depends on factors such as the number of vacancies in that zone, the number of candidates who appeared, the difficulty level of the shift they were allotted (adjusted via normalisation), and overall performance trends in that region. This is why a candidate scoring 55 marks may be shortlisted in one zone but not in another with a higher cut-off.
Q3
My CBT 1 score is below the cut-off shown online — am I out of the recruitment completely?
+
If your normalised CBT 1 score is below the cut-off for your category and zone, you are not shortlisted for CBT 2 under CEN 01/2025, and there is no provision for re-checking or re-evaluation of CBT 1 marks.
However, this does not mean your railway recruitment journey is over. A new ALP notification, CEN 01/2026, has already been released for 11,127 vacancies with online applications open from 15 May to 14 June 2026. You may apply for upcoming cycles. Additionally, if you also applied for other posts (such as Technician) under different CENs, your candidature for those remains separate and unaffected by this result.

Q4
Is CBT 1 score used for final selection, or only CBT 2?
+
CBT 1 is purely qualifying in nature. It is used only to shortlist candidates (approximately 15 times the category-wise vacancies) for CBT 2. The marks scored in CBT 1 are not added to the final merit list.
The final merit for ALP posts is based on the candidate's performance in CBT 2 Part A (100 marks), combined with their CBAT (Computer Based Aptitude Test) score. CBT 2 Part B (trade-specific, 75 marks) is also qualifying only — a minimum of 35% is required to pass, but its marks are not added to the merit either.

Q5
When will RRB ALP CBT 2 2026 be conducted, and what is its pattern?
+
As per the official information released alongside the CBT 1 result, CBT 2 for CEN 01/2025 is expected to be conducted any time after 12 July 2026. The exact date, shift schedule, and city intimation slips will be released closer to the exam on the respective regional RRB websites.
CBT 2 Pattern:
Part A: 100 questions / 100 marks — Mathematics, General Intelligence & Reasoning, Basic Science & Engineering, General Awareness on Current Affairs. Duration: 90 minutes. This is the merit-determining section.
Part B: 75 questions / 75 marks — Relevant Trade syllabus (based on the candidate's declared ITI/Diploma trade). Duration: 60 minutes. Qualifying only — minimum 35% required.
Negative marking of 1/3 mark per wrong answer applies to both parts, as per standard RRB CBT pattern.

Q6
What is CBAT and why is it important for ALP candidates specifically?
+
CBAT (Computer Based Aptitude Test) is a psychometric test conducted only for Assistant Loco Pilot posts (not for Technician posts under the same CEN). It evaluates spatial reasoning, visual perception, reaction time, alertness, and decision-making ability — qualities essential for safely operating locomotives.
Key points:
• Conducted after candidates qualify CBT 2 (both Part A and Part B)
• Minimum T-score typically required: 42 for UR/OBC/EWS, 36 for SC/ST
• CBAT can be attempted only once — there is no provision for a retest within the same recruitment cycle
• A candidate who does not qualify CBAT cannot be selected for ALP, regardless of how high their CBT 2 score is, though they may still be considered for Technician posts (if eligible and applied) based on CBT 2 alone

Q7
What documents will I need at the Document Verification stage?
+
Although Document Verification (DV) comes after CBT 2 and CBAT, shortlisted candidates are advised to keep the following ready well in advance:
• Matriculation (10th) Certificate & Marksheet (proof of age and basic qualification)
• ITI Certificate (NCVT/SCVT) in relevant trade, OR Diploma/Degree certificate in Engineering
• Category certificate (OBC-NCL/SC/ST/EWS) issued by competent authority, if applicable
• PwBD certificate, if claiming disability reservation
• Ex-Servicemen discharge certificate, if applicable
• Aadhaar Card / Photo ID proof
• Recent passport-size photographs (as per RRB specifications)
• CBT 1 and CBT 2 admit cards
Any mismatch between details submitted online and original documents can lead to cancellation of candidature at the DV stage.
