RRB ALP Pattern

The computer-based tests (CBT), which are administered in two parts, follow a pattern in the RRB ALP (Railway Recruitment Board Assistant Loco Pilot) grading scheme. Candidates receive one mark for each right response in both phases. On the other hand, incorrect responses have consequences. Negative marking is the process of subtracting one-third of the marks assigned to a question for each erroneous response. Unanswered questions do not result in a deduction. While the second stage is more extensive and covers areas like mathematics, general intelligence, science, and technical knowledge, the first level is qualification-only. This marking style places a strong emphasis on knowledge and accuracy because giving the wrong response can lower your score.

The computer-based test used in the RRB ALP (Assistant Loco Pilot) exam pattern for CBT 1 evaluates candidates' aptitude in a range of courses. There are four portions of the exam, each with twenty questions in mathematics, twenty questions in general science, twenty questions in general intelligence and reasoning, and ten questions in general awareness and current affairs. The exam consists of seventy-five multiple-choice questions. Examinees have sixty minutes to finish the test, and each question is worth one mark. Every wrong response results in a 1/3rd mark deduction. Candidates who pass CBT 1 are qualified for CBT 2, which is the following step. While passing this test is essential for advancement, the final merit ranking is unaffected by the scores.
