RRB ALP Exam Pattern

Timing: Single 60-minute timer for all four sections combined (no sectional lock)..

CBT 1 is a screening exam only: marks are not counted while preparing the final panel. Minimum pass percentage: UR and EWS 40%, OBC (NCL) and SC 30%, ST 25%. Roughly 15 times the notified vacancies per RRB are shortlisted into CBT 2 based on normalized CBT 1 merit.

Timing: Single 90-minute timer for all three Part A sections combined (no sectional lock). Part B and the CBAT are separate, later stages not covered by this mock..

This mock covers Part A only (100 questions, 90 minutes). Part B is a separate 75-question, 60-minute qualifying test (minimum 35% to pass) drawn from trade-specific syllabi set by the Directorate General of Training, and the questions a candidate receives depend on their own ITI trade or engineering discipline, so it cannot be modeled as a single common-syllabus mock. Candidates who qualify Part B then take the Computer Based Aptitude Test (CBAT), a psychometric battery (memory, following directions, perceptual speed, and similar tests) with no negative marking, which is also excluded here since it is not a knowledge-based test. Final merit is 70% weightage on Part A of CBT 2 plus 30% weightage on the CBAT score, among candidates who qualify Part B and CBAT.
