The admit card has been issued for thousands of candidates who applied for the 9,970 vacancies of Assistant Loco Pilot under CEN 01/2025, a recruitment notification issued by the Railway Recruitment Board of Indian Railways.

 The hall tickets were made available online on 9 February 2026 through RRB’s regional websites. Candidates can download their individual admit cards by logging into their respective portals using registration credentials. The CBT‑1 examinations will take place at designated centres across India from 13 to 18 February in multiple shifts.

Aspiring ALP candidates are advised to check their reporting times, shift schedules and exam centre details carefully. Recent shifts in the schedule have prompted candidates to verify these entries well before the exam day to avoid disruptions.

The ALP recruitment is a high‑profile exercise for Indian Railways aimed at filling critical operational roles on the national rail network. Selection for the post hinges primarily on performance in the CBT stages, followed by further rounds that may include second‑stage exams and medical evaluations. Successful candidates will be engaged as Assistant Loco Pilots, a role central to train operations.

How to Access the Admit Card:

1. Visit the official regional RRB website.

2. Navigate to the “Download Admit Card” section.

3. Enter your registration number and date of birth.

4. Download and print the hall ticket for the exam day.

Candidates must carry a printed copy of the admit card and valid photo identification to the exam centre. Without these, entry will not be permitted. Exam instructions regarding permitted items, reporting procedures and safety protocols are included on the admit card and should be reviewed thoroughly.

The RRB ALP recruitment process saw applications between April and May 2025, with city intimation slips released earlier to assist candidates in planning travel and logistics. This admit card release signals that the first phase of the examination is officially underway. In the coming weeks, the Board is expected to announce results for CBT‑1, followed by CBT‑2 scheduling for successful candidates.

As the exams progress, candidates and coaching institutions alike are closely monitoring performance trends and cutoff projections for this competitive selection process.
