Railway Recruitment: Answer key for Assistant Loco Pilot exam released; objections can be raised—know the process..

The Railway Recruitment Board (RRB) has issued an important notice for candidates who appeared for the CBT-1 examination for the Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) recruitment 2026. Started from 7:00 PM on November 12, 2026, candidates will be able to view their question paper, their recorded responses, and the answer key. A link for this purpose will be provided on the official website of the Railway Recruitment Board. Through this facility, candidates can cross-check their answers. If they identify any error in a question, its options, or the released answer key, they may file an objection within the stipulated timeframe.

Until when can objections be filed?
According to the RRB notice, candidates will have the opportunity to view their question paper, response sheet, and answer key, as well as file objections, until 11:59 PM on November 19, 2026. This facility will be disabled after this date and time; therefore, candidates are advised not to wait until the last minute. They should carefully review their question paper and answers first. If any error is found in a question, option, or the answer key, they should file an objection promptly, accompanied by the necessary supporting information. Objections submitted after the deadline will not be considered.

What is the fee for filing an objection?
The Railway Recruitment Board has set a fee of ₹50 for each objection raised. Additionally, any applicable bank charges must also be paid. In other words, the total fee will depend on the number of questions for which an objection is filed. However, if an objection is found to be valid upon review, the fee paid will be refunded, after deducting any applicable bank charges. The refund will be credited to the same bank account from which the online payment was originally made. It is, therefore, crucial to ensure that the correct account and transaction details are used when making the payment.

How can the fee be paid?
Candidates can pay the required fee online using various available payment methods. Payment can be made using debit and credit cards from any bank. Additionally, fees can be paid via RuPay cards and UPI. Candidates may also use multi-bank retail or corporate net banking. An option to pay through State Bank of India (SBI) retail net banking is also available. Before objecting, please ensure you read the guidelines provided on the RRB website; the complete procedure is explained there.

Where to seek assistance?
The RRB has provided a helpdesk number, 7996342666, to assist candidates. You may contact this number for any information or if you encounter any issues. The helpdesk will operate from Monday to Saturday, between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM. The Railway Recruitment Board has clarified that the decision taken after reviewing the objections will be final and binding on all candidates. No further correspondence or complaints will be entertained in this regard. It should be noted that the Assistant Loco Pilot CBT-1 examination was conducted from November 3 to November 5, 2026.
