📥 How the Admit Card & City Intimation Worked
The RRB followed its standard process for this exam:
- City Intimation Slip: Released 10 days before each candidate’s exam date. Showed exam city, date, and shift timing — but NOT the exact centre address
- E-Call Letter (Admit Card): Available 4 days before your specific exam date. Contained the full centre name and address
- SC / ST Travel Authority: Available along with the city intimation slip for eligible candidates
Tip for future exams: Always check the RRB ALP updates page regularly so you don’t miss any important notice.
🧮 How to Calculate Your Estimated RRB ALP CBT-1 Score
Waiting for the final result? Here’s how you can estimate your score using your response sheet:
| Scoring Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Correct Answer | +1 mark |
| Wrong Answer | -1/3 mark |
| Unanswered | 0 marks |
Quick calculation: Count your correct answers, then subtract (wrong answers × 0.33).
Example: If you got 60 correct, 20 wrong, and 20 unanswered — your estimated score = 60 – (20 × 0.33) = 53.33 marks.
Remember, this is just an estimate. Your final score depends on the final answer key, which may change if objections are accepted. Compare your estimated score with previous year cutoffs to gauge your chances for CBT-2 (Practical exam).
❓ Frequently Asked Questions About RRB ALP Answer Key
Q: What happens if my objection is rejected? The RRB reviews your objection and if they disagree, there’s no further appeal. The RRB’s decision is final and binding.
