What Is the RRB ALP CBT 1 Result 2026?

RRB ALP CBT 1 Cut Off 2026 — Category-Wise & Zone-Wise

This is what most of you are really here for.

The RRB ALP CBT 1 Cut Off 2026 has been declared zone-wise and category-wise (UR, SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and EXSM). Candidates who score equal to or above the applicable cut off for their zone and category are eligible to appear for the RRB ALP CBT 2 exam.

The minimum qualifying marks are 40% for General, 30% for OBC, and 25% for SC/ST candidates. However, the actual cut off may be higher depending on competition and difficulty level.

Zone-Wise Cut Off Highlights (General Category)

RRB Chandigarh (40.09), RRB Bhopal (45.53), and RRB Thiruvananthapuram (48.93) emerged as relatively low cut-off zones for General category applicants, while RRB Gorakhpur (80.00) and RRB Chennai (62.37) show significantly higher competition levels.

This wide variation makes sense. Each zone has a different number of vacancies relative to the number of candidates who appeared — and the cut off reflects that competition directly.

What Factors Decide the Cut Off?

Cut off changes every year based on vacancies, exam difficulty, and candidates' performance. Reviewing past cut offs helps in setting a target and planning better preparation.

To summarize the key factors:

• Number of vacancies per zone

• Total candidates who appeared

• Difficulty level of the exam

• Score normalization applied across shifts

• Category reservation and applicable relaxations

What Does the RRB ALP Scorecard Show?

Your scorecard is more than just a pass/fail indicator. It tells you exactly where you stood in the exam. Here's what it typically contains:

• Candidate's Name and Roll Number

• Registration Number and Date of Birth

• Total marks obtained in CBT 1

• Category and zone

• Qualifying status (Selected / Not Selected for CBT 2)

• Normalized score (if applicable)

Always download it before 27 June 2026. Whether you qualified or not, your scorecard is a valuable document for future reference and strategy.

Many candidates don't realize CBT 1 is just Step 1. Here's the complete pipeline:

1. CBT 1 — Qualifying in nature; screens candidates for CBT 2. Result declared on 12 June 2026.
