Lakhs of candidates will sit RRB Assistant Loco Pilot CBT‑1 between November 3 and 5. The exam‑city intimation is live; verify your city now. E‑call letters release about four days before each candidate’s exam date, so 5 November slots should open today, November 1. Watch your regional RRB portal and SMS/email.
Log in, confirm your centre city, and plan travel time. Check shift and gate‑closure details once your e‑call letter appears. Reach 60–75 minutes early because Aadhaar‑linked biometric and frisking can take time. Carry one original photo ID and a recent colour passport photo as instructed on the admit card.
RRB ALP city slip and admit card timing
RRBs display exam city about ten days in advance and release e‑call letters roughly four days before the scheduled date. By that rule, city slips for November 3–5 are visible, with e‑call letters rolling out date‑wise from October 30 to November 1. SC/ST travel authority prints on the e‑call letter.
Aadhaar, biometric and ID mismatch protocol
Keep Aadhaar biometrics unlocked in the Unique Identification Authority of India system before travel. Centres use Aadhaar‑linked biometric checks; repeated mismatches can lead to disqualification. If your name changed from Class 10 records, carry the Gazette or valid legal proof with matching ID at CBT‑1 entry. Follow the admit‑card instructions strictly.
CBT‑1 pattern and negative marking
CBT‑1 is a 60‑minute screening test with 75 questions for 75 marks. There is negative marking of one‑third for each wrong answer. Normalisation applies across shifts. Qualifying marks are 40 percent for Unreserved and Economically Weaker Sections, 30 percent for Other Backward Classes and Scheduled Castes, and 25 percent for Scheduled Tribes.
Scribe and PwBD arrangements
The ALP post requires A1 medical fitness and is marked “Not Suitable” for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities. As a result, scribe facility is not applicable for this recruitment. Candidates should avoid travelling to centres expecting scribe approval at the venue, as it will not be available.
What to carry, prohibited items and travel buffer
Carry your printed e‑call letter, original ID, and one recent colour photograph. Write the self‑declaration and affix your left thumb impression only inside the hall when asked. Electronic gadgets, watches and calculators are disallowed at many centres; follow the instructions on your admit card. Coastal candidates should track local weather alerts and keep buffer time.
Use today to confirm your city, check the admit‑card window, and map your route. Keep Aadhaar unlocked, documents ready, and reach early to avoid last‑minute denial. Revisit your CBT‑1 plan to reduce negative marking risk. With centres finalised and timelines tight, disciplined logistics can save crucial marks.
