RRB ALP CBT 2 Cut Off 2025 – Category Wise Marks

The RRB ALP CBT 2 cut off 2025 was declared on 01.07.2025 for the exam held on 5-6 May 2025 — 2,66,439 candidates appeared and 1,20,211 qualified, with marks published separately by zone and category on rrbcdg.gov.in.

RRB ALP cut off — live updates

Official zone wise cut off — what is published

RRB has NOT released a single national cut off figure — marks are published separately for each of the 21 zones and separately for UR, EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST categories. Check your own zone’s official RRB website under the CEN 01/2025 (ALP) results section for the exact PDF; do not rely on a single number quoted for a different zone. A regional example of how this is structured is visible at RRB Mumbai, which lists its own zone-specific result and cut off page separately from the central portal.

Qualifying marks vs cut off — the difference

Qualifying marks are the baseline RRB sets per category before any candidate is considered. The actual cut off — the marks a candidate needed this cycle to be shortlisted — is usually higher, and moves with the number of vacancies, total applicants and paper difficulty in that specific zone and category. Confusing the two is a common reason a candidate assumes they should have qualified when they did not.

Factors affecting this cycle’s cut off

Three things moved the CEN 01/2025 cut off: the 9,970 vacancies spread unevenly across 21 zones, the total applicant pool in each zone, and how difficult candidates found the 5-6 May 2025 CBT 2 paper. A zone with fewer vacancies and more applicants typically produces a higher cut off than one with more openings and fewer competing candidates.

Next stage: RRB ALP CBAT after this cut off

Candidates who cleared CBT 2 were scheduled for the CBAT (Computer Based Aptitude Test) on 15.07.2025. Check your regional RRB site for your CBAT admit card and centre details — CBAT typically has its own qualifying criteria separate from the CBT 2 cut off above, and does not usually add a second ranked cut off on top of it.

What to check if your result seems wrong

If your registration number does not appear on your zone’s qualified list, first confirm you are checking the correct zone and category PDF, since candidates sometimes look at a neighbouring zone’s file by mistake. If the details are correct and your name is still missing, raise it with your zonal RRB helpdesk directly using the contact details on that zone’s official website rather than a third-party aggregator.

How the ALP selection process continues from here

CBT 2 is not the final stage for Assistant Loco Pilot recruitment — candidates who clear CBAT still go through document verification and a medical examination before a final panel is drawn up zone-wise. Keep your original mark sheets, category certificate and identity proof ready well ahead of the document verification call, since RRB typically gives a short notice window between the CBAT result and the next stage. The medical examination for ALP follows railway-specific vision and physical fitness standards, so candidates who have any known vision correction should check the exact standard published in their zone’s original CEN 01/2025 notification well before this stage arrives, rather than assuming a general fitness certificate will be sufficient.

Zone-wise variation runs through almost every stage of this recruitment, not just the cut off — the CBAT centre, the medical board location and even the final panel timeline can differ from one RRB zone to another. Candidates who applied in one zone but currently live elsewhere should track their own zone’s official notices directly rather than assuming updates for a different zone apply to them.
