Digital Desk
The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has released the admit cards for the 2026 Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) recruitment examination, allowing registered candidates across India to download their hall tickets ahead of the scheduled test dates. The admit cards were made available online this week through regional RRB portals, marking a key step in the nationwide selection process for technical railway posts.
Candidates who applied for the ALP examination can access their admit cards by logging in with their registration number and date of birth. The document contains essential details including exam date, shift timing, reporting instructions, and the allotted examination centre. Officials advised applicants to verify all information carefully and report discrepancies immediately to their respective regional boards.
The ALP recruitment exam is conducted by the Indian Railways to fill operational positions responsible for assisting train drivers and ensuring safe locomotive functioning. The exam forms part of a multi-stage selection process that typically includes a computer-based test, aptitude assessment, document verification, and medical examination.
According to recruitment guidelines, candidates must carry a printed copy of the admit card along with valid photo identification to the examination venue. Entry without these documents will not be permitted. Authorities have also instructed examinees to follow reporting times strictly, as late arrivals may be denied entry once the examination process begins.
The recruitment drive has drawn significant interest from job seekers due to the stability and benefits associated with railway employment. Analysts note that railway recruitment examinations consistently receive high application volumes, reflecting strong demand for government sector jobs, particularly in technical and operational roles.
RRB officials stated that examination centres have been equipped with security and monitoring systems to ensure transparency and prevent malpractice. Biometric verification and surveillance measures will be in place during the test. Candidates have been urged to rely only on official RRB websites for updates and avoid misinformation circulating on unofficial platforms.
The release of admit cards signals that the examination phase is imminent, and shortlisted candidates will move to subsequent stages based on performance. Final selection lists will be published after completion of all recruitment phases.
With preparations underway nationwide, applicants are focusing on last-minute revisions and logistical arrangements. Further notifications, including answer keys and result dates, are expected to be issued through official channels following the examination.
