RRB Assistant Loco Pilot ALP CEN 01/2025 CBT II Answer Key 2026

RRB Assistant Loco Pilot ALP CEN 01/2025 CBT II Answer Key 2026 — a answer key release — is summarised below. The key figures are an application window closing 19 May 2025 and a fee of ₹500 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Indian Railways recruits through Railway Recruitment Boards (RRB) and Railway Recruitment Cells (RRC). Railway selection normally runs one or more computer-based tests followed, depending on the post, by a physical efficiency test, document verification and a medical examination with post-specific vision standards.

Applications open on 12 April 2025 and close on 19 May 2025, giving candidates 38 days to complete the process. The 38-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. Fee payment closes on 21/05/2025 — note that this can fall on a different day from the form deadline, and an unpaid form is not a submitted form. A correction window is listed (22-31 May 2025), so errors in the submitted form can be fixed within that period rather than by re-applying. The exam is currently shown for 13-18 February 2026   ; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The age limit runs from 18 to 30 years for unreserved candidates. That is a 12-year band, so candidates near either edge should confirm the exact cut-off date the notification measures age against — it is usually a fixed reference date, not the date you apply.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹250 and ₹500, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, and net banking. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Work out a provisional score from the official key before the objection window closes. Objections generally require a fee per question and supporting evidence, and are only worth raising where you can cite a source. Do not use unofficial keys circulating on social media to estimate cut-offs — they are frequently wrong on exactly the disputed questions.
