RRB ALP Cut Off 2025 for CBT 1; check category wise here

The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has announced the cut-off marks for the RRB Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) CBT 1 exam along with the result. The cut-off marks have been released separately for different categories, including General, OBC, SC, and ST, across all regions. Candidates who have qualified based on the cut-off marks will now proceed to the next stage of the selection process.

The RRB ALP CBT 1 exam took place from 25 to 29 November 2024. The results and cut-off marks were officially announced on 26 February 2025. These cut-off marks are crucial as they determine which candidates move forward to the CBT 2 exam, which is scheduled for 19 and 20 March 2025. The cut-off marks have been published on the official website of the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB).

The minimum qualifying marks for the CBT 1 exam vary by category:

• UR & EWS: 40%
• OBC (NCL): 30%
• SC: 30%
• ST: 25%

Meeting the minimum qualifying marks does not guarantee selection for CBT 2. The final shortlisting for CBT 2 is done based on the cut-off marks, with candidates being selected at a ratio of 15 times the number of vacancies available in each RRB region.

The CBT 1 exam was conducted in an online format and consisted of 75 questions, each carrying one mark, making a total of 75 marks. Candidates had 60 minutes to complete the test. The exam was divided into four sections:

• Mathematics
• General Intelligence & Reasoning
• General Science
• General Awareness of Current Affairs

The CBT 1 exam serves as a screening test, and its marks will not be considered for the final merit list. The selection process will continue with the CBT 2 exam, and the final selection will be based on the candidate’s performance in CBT 2 and other subsequent stages.
