RRB ALP CEN 01/2025 CBAT Re-Exam Date 2026

RRB ALP CBAT re-exam on 12 November 2026 — postponed and impacted candidates only

The Railway Recruitment Boards have rescheduled the Computer Based Aptitude Test (CBAT) for the Assistant Loco Pilot recruitment, CEN 01/2025, to 12 November 2026 (third shift). This is a RE-EXAM, not the main CBAT: the main CBAT was already held on 30 October 2026, and most ALP candidates have already sat it and are not affected by this notice.

The re-exam on 12 November 2026 covers two groups only. First, candidates at centres with TC codes 9417, 9208, 7954 and 30677 (Visakhapatnam twice, Rajahmundry and Delhi), whose CBAT was postponed on 29 October 2026 due to exigency conditions. These candidates must bring the Vision Certificate as per Annexure VI-A of CEN 01/2025 — entry will not be permitted without it, and the seal of the Eye Specialist must clearly indicate the Ophthalmology qualification or position. Second, specific candidates of specific centres who were adversely impacted by technical problems during the exam held on 30 October 2026 (emails are being sent to them). These candidates need not bring a Vision Certificate. If they attend on 12 November, their result will be based on the 12 November CBAT marks only; if they do not attend, the result will be based on their 30 October CBAT marks. No further representations will be entertained.

The link for viewing the Exam City and Date and for downloading the Travel Authority for SC/ST candidates was to be made available by 4 November 2026 on the official websites of all RRBs. E-call letters can be downloaded from 4 days before the exam date shown in the Exam City and Date intimation link.

Note on the source: the official RRB notice dated 3 November 2026 was read in full from a mirror copy (files.govtjobsalert.in), because all official RRB hosts were unreachable at the time of verification. The notice carries the RRB letterhead and is signed by the Chairpersons of the Railway Recruitment Boards.

Background

CEN 01/2025 covers 10,970 Assistant Loco Pilot posts. CBT-I was held in February–March 2026, CBT-II on 28 July 2026, the CBT-II result was declared on 1 October 2026, and the main CBAT was held on 30 October 2026. This re-exam is a separate stage for the two affected groups only. Do not confuse this with CEN 01/2026 (11,127 posts), a separate cycle whose CBT-I was held on 3–5 November 2026.

The application fee for CEN 01/2025 was ₹500 for General, OBC and EWS candidates and ₹250 for SC, ST, PH and women candidates, with a refund of ₹400 or ₹250 on appearing in CBT-I. Applications are closed, so the fee is given here for information only and no fee card is carried on this exam-date post.
