RRB ALP CBT-2 Result 2026 Out

RRB ALP CBT-2 Result 2026 is the shortlist of candidates qualified in the Second Stage Computer-Based Test under CEN 01/2025, released by the Railway Recruitment Board on 1 October 2026. Candidates whose roll numbers appear in the zone-wise result PDF are eligible to appear in the next selection round — the Computer-Based Aptitude Test (CBAT) — and are one step closer to securing one of the 10,970 ALP posts in Indian Railways.

The CBT-2 examination consisted of two parts: Part A (covering Mathematics, General Intelligence & Reasoning, Basic Science & Engineering, and General Awareness) and Part B (a trade-specific technical section). Candidates must have scored a minimum of 35% in Part B to be considered for the merit list, irrespective of category. The final merit list for CBT-2 is prepared based only on Part A marks — Part B is qualifying in nature.

This result is critical because it determines who advances to CBAT — the psychometric aptitude test specific to Loco Pilot candidates — and eventually to document verification and medical examination. Only those who clear every stage receive the final appointment letter.

Stage 5Medical Examination (DME)TBAFitness standard A1 / B1 as applicable

The final merit list for ALP is prepared by giving 70% weightage to Part A of CBT-2 and 30% weightage to CBAT. CBT-1 marks do not count in the final merit — they were only used to shortlist candidates for CBT-2.

What Is CBAT? — Complete Guide to the Computer-Based Aptitude Test

The Computer-Based Aptitude Test (CBAT) — also known as the Psycho Test — is the third and final examination stage for ALP candidates. It is unique to the Loco Pilot cadre and tests core cognitive abilities required to safely operate locomotives. CBAT is conducted only for candidates who qualify CBT-2.

  • CBAT Date: 30 October 2026 (as per official schedule for CEN 01/2025)
  • Mode: Computer-Based Test at designated test centres
  • Qualifying Marks: 42 out of 70 (for all categories)
  • No negative marking in CBAT
  • Tests conducted: Memory, Attention, Concentration, Perceptual Speed, Spatial Reasoning, Psychomotor Coordination
  • Language: Available in Hindi and English
  • Important: CBAT scores carry 30% weight in the final merit list — do not underestimate this stage

Candidates who do not appear in or fail CBAT are not considered for the ALP post but may still be considered for Technician posts (if they had applied for both) based on their CBT-2 Part A scores only.

RRB ALP Salary 2026 — Pay Scale, In-Hand Earnings, and Career Growth

The RRB ALP salary in 2026 is structured under Pay Level 2 of the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC), with a basic pay of Rs.19,900 per month. However, the actual in-hand salary is significantly higher once all allowances — including the crucial Running Allowance specific to locomotive staff — are added.

PostBasic Pay (7th CPC)Estimated In-Hand Monthly
Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) — Entry LevelRs.19,900 (Level-2)Rs.25,000 – Rs.35,000
Senior Assistant Loco PilotRs.25,500 (Level-4)Rs.35,000 – Rs.45,000
Loco Pilot (Goods)Rs.29,200 (Level-5)Rs.40,000 – Rs.56,000
Loco Pilot (Passenger)Rs.35,400 (Level-6)Rs.50,000 – Rs.65,000
Loco Pilot (Mail/Express)Rs.44,900 (Level-7)Rs.65,000 – Rs.85,000

Key salary components for ALP include: Basic Pay + Dearness Allowance (DA) + House Rent Allowance (HRA) + Running Allowance (Mileage) — minus NPS contribution and other deductions. The Running Allowance is unique to locomotive staff and can add Rs.5,000–Rs.15,000/month depending on kilometres operated. This makes the real take-home pay substantially higher than what basic pay figures suggest.
