Objection window for the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRB) Assistant Loco Pilot CBT 1 Answer Key 2026 closes on November 19, 2026 at 11:59 PM IST. The provisional key under advertisement CEN 01/2026 is for candidates who appeared in the CBT 1 held from November 3 to November 5, 2026. Check responses and raise objections only through the provisional answer-key portal, on payment of Rs. 50 per question plus bank charges.
RRB Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) CBT 1 2026: Short Details
The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRB) have released the provisional answer key, question paper and recorded responses for Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) CBT 1 2026 under CEN 01/2026.
The overview table as per the official notification identifies the organisation, post, advertisement number, target group and objection mode. This is strictly an objection window for those who sat in the November 3 to November 5, 2026 CBT 1, not a fresh application. Only online action through the designated portal counts, and the closing time noted in the intro is in IST.
What this key contains
As per the official notification, the login shows three things together for CEN 01/2026: the question paper as displayed to the candidate, the option marked by the candidate, and the provisional correct option decided by RRB. Candidates should match all three before deciding to object, because a mismatch in question ID across shifts is a common reason for selecting the wrong item.
Who it is for
Eligibility is narrow. The notice limits access to candidates who appeared in the ALP recruitment examination under CEN 01/2026. If a registration number did not generate an attendance and response record for CBT 1, the portal will not display any paper. Regional RRB websites carry the same central login, so candidates from any RRB zone use the identical objection link and deadline.
RRB Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) CBT 1 2026 Important Dates
The objection window opened on November 12, 2026 at 7:00 PM on regional RRB websites and closes on November 19, 2026 at 11:59 PM IST, as per the official notification.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Last Date to Apply | November 19, 2026, at 11:59 PM |
| Exam Date | November 3 to November 5, 2026 |
The Important Dates table lists the CBT 1 exam spell and the objection deadline together. Readers should treat the two kinds of dates differently: November 3 to November 5, 2026 only confirms which shift papers are now available for viewing, while November 19, 2026 at 11:59 PM IST is the operative cutoff for viewing, fee payment and submission. RRB counts only a completed transaction before that IST cutoff.
Why the start time matters
Many candidates search whether the link is live. The activation at 7:00 PM on November 12, 2026 means papers became visible batch-wise that evening, and heavy first-hour traffic can show captcha or session errors. Waiting until the final evening carries a different risk: a deducted but unsettled fee or an unsubmitted draft after 11:59 PM IST will not register, per the sources.
What counts as submitted
As per the official notification, incomplete applications or unsuccessful fee transactions will not register. That means selecting a question without justification, closing the window before payment confirmation, or relying on a bank debit message without portal confirmation leaves no valid objection on record.
How to Download RRB Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) CBT 1 2026
Download the CBT 1 paper, your responses and the provisional key from the official RRB login titled Viewing of Question Paper, Responses and Keys for CEN 01/2026.
Use the login fields exactly as asked on that screen. The portal asks for registration number plus either date of birth or password, plus the captcha shown. A frequent error is using the application mobile number or email in place of the registration number, or mixing date formats in the date-of-birth field. Keep the CEN 01/2026 registration slip ready so the number and birth date match the application record.
Steps to view and download
- Go to the official answer-key login page reached via your regional RRB website.
- Click the link titled Viewing of Question Paper, Responses and Keys for CEN 01/2026.
- Enter registration number in the first field without spaces or prefixes.
- Enter date of birth or password in the second field, as the screen offers.
- Enter the captcha exactly, watching for similar characters like 0/O and 1/I, and submit.
- Select your CBT 1 shift and date to open the question paper with your marked responses and the provisional keys.
- Download or print the displayed set and note the question IDs you wish to challenge.
How to read the marking for score estimation
As per the official notification for CEN 01/2026, CBT 1 carries +1 for each correct answer, -1/3 for each wrong answer, and zero for unattempted questions. Candidates can estimate with: estimated score = (number correct x 1) - (number wrong x 1/3). Do this shift-wise using only your own question IDs, because the same syllabus topic can have different question IDs and correct options in different shifts.
How to Raise an Objection Against RRB Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) CBT 1 2026
Objections are filed inside the same login by selecting the question ID, writing a justification and paying the prescribed fee for each challenged question.
Prepare before paying. The portal treats each question ID as a separate challenge, so decide the exact IDs, the correct option you claim, and the documentary support first. Once the fee step is reached, corrections to IDs are difficult and a second payment may be needed for any added question.
Steps to raise an objection
- Log in again through the raise-objection portal under Viewing of Question Paper, Responses and Keys for CEN 01/2026.
- Open the objection tab and select the specific question ID from the drop-down or list, not just the question number visible on screen.
- Choose the nature of the objection and the option you consider correct.
- Type a short, specific justification referring to the question wording, data or option error.
- Upload supporting documents wherever the portal asks for that question, keeping the file legible and within the size and format shown.
- Pay the objection fee for the selected questions and wait for the payment-success screen.
- Submit finally and save the confirmation and payment receipt with the transaction reference.
Fee, proof and what happens next
Justification without evidence is weak, and evidence without a clear justification is hard to evaluate, so give both together and upload supporting documents wherever the portal asks. As per the official notification, incomplete applications or unsuccessful fee transactions will not register, even if the amount was debited at the bank end. RRB will review the valid objections and then publish the final key; only that reviewed final key will form the basis for CBT 1 result processing.
RRB Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) CBT 1 2026 Important Links
All action for this stage happens through the central login linked from regional RRB sites, not through any fresh application form.
| Link | URL |
|---|---|
| Official Website | rrb.digialm.com |
The Important Links table as per the official notification collects the answer-key and objection login, the regional websites for notices, and the CEN 01/2026 notification reference. Candidates who opened the paper from one zone link and later want to re-check should return to the same official objection login and verify that the header still reads CEN 01/2026 and Viewing of Question Paper, Responses and Keys. Save the downloaded paper set, the objection confirmation and the fee receipt together until the final key appears.
If the link does not open
Use a desktop browser with pop-ups allowed for the digialm domain, re-enter the captcha on expiry, and confirm that registration number and date of birth or password match the CEN 01/2026 application. If a regional site shows maintenance, use another RRB zone homepage to reach the identical central login, since the deadline of November 19, 2026 at 11:59 PM IST is common for all zones. Refer to the official notification for any notice on extension or final-key publication.
